Tactosa vocalist Kyle Weeden is presently going through allegations of sexual assault. In response to a press release printed by Kara Murray, Weeden allegedly took benefit of her whereas she was drunk and was emotionally manipulative all through their temporary relationship, partly citing one incident the place “[Weeden] raised his voice and yelled at me for wiping a tear on his shirt after i yawned. it was some hardcore shirt and he was upset at me as a result of ‘they do not make this shirt anymore’.” The whole thing of the statement can be found here.
Weeden has since addressed the allegations, denying Murray‘s claims and saying that “at no level throughout our last exchanges did she categorical this stuff to me.”
“Hey everybody. Just lately I’ve been made conscious of some fairly critical allegations towards me,” stated Weeden. “As I am positive you may think about I needed to take my time to collect all the data and make a honest assertion. A put up has been made by my ex girlfriend claiming abuse, particularly manipulation and coercion. Throughout our three week relationship I handled her disrespectfully by ending our relationship to get again with my ex and being unclear about the place she stood with me. She is a human being with emotions and I acted selfishly.
“In her assertion she mentions how as soon as, though she gave consent, she felt as if she didn’t have the house to revoke it. The ultimate time I ended our relationship, which was the final time we spoke, she was understandably upset, however at no level throughout our last exchanges did she categorical this stuff to me. She simply acknowledged that she had felt used and disregarded. She makes it clear that she has no proof to help any of this and neither do I. She has made it clear she does not need to hear from me and I respect her needs. I am sorry for my actions and to anybody affected by them.”
Weirdly, this then spills over into the deathcore band Brojob (whose identify means precisely what you assume it means) and their vocalist Jacob Wallace. Wallace issued a press release defending Weeden, deleted it, after which issued a second assertion after being fired from Brojob for the primary assertion. Wallace ends his second assertion by saying he was fascinated about quitting Brojob anyway, so… everybody wins I assume?
“Supervisor and pals determined they did not like my opinion. I listened to them once they stated to take away the put up. I heard out the individuals who felt upset by my phrases and apologized accordingly. Now a couple of douche luggage are going round spreading my phrases even after I apologized and spreading my identify round like I am some form of sexual assault sympathizer.
“Let me make one thing actually fucking clear – when you sexually assault somebody, you ought to be castrated. It’s best to straight up have your dick yanked out of your pelvis. You should not be allowed any rights in anyway. I’m not saying all individuals who come ahead about abuse are liars. I’m nonetheless saying that on this specific case surrounding Tactosa, I used to be doubtful of the incident, and I am not the one one.
“I used to be contemplating quitting for fairly a very long time. I do not get pleasure from the place the band has gone and actually really feel like their motion in eradicating me solidified my opinion that I’m higher off with out the band.”
Brojob has since issued their very own assertion, saying they condemn each Wallace and Weeden, and noting they’re making an attempt to determine the right way to transfer ahead as a band.
“BROJOB has parted methods with vocalist Jacob Wallace after studying of his dealing with of the Kyle Weeden/Tactosa accusations and the way his feedback negatively affected victims of sexual violence.
“BROJOB stands in solidarity with survivors of sexual violence and we won’t help, allow, or stand for misconduct, abuse, or harassment. We acknowledge that abuse of energy is a systemic drawback inside society that immediately impacts people, their households, and neighborhood members.

We’re decided to domesticate an area the place everybody can take part with out worry of violence or harassment.
“We’re working collectively to find out the right way to finest transfer ahead, and can present an replace within the coming days. Within the meantime, we hope you’ll be part of us by donating to sufferer advocacy teams akin to RAINN, and the Florida Council Towards Sexual Violence.
