probably goes w/o saying but to confirm; we started this account 5 years ago to support lany and we can no longer do that. this account will be up - we’ve been liking and tweeting some deets on the recent allegations. we fully support & believe the victims and you should too.
we are angry and disappointed to learn that a member of this team forced inappropriate conversation upon a cdm intern (16 y/o at the time) - deliberately preying on her when she was alone in a work environment, asking her to skip high school classes with the incentive of the band
we can’t tell you who to support but if you choose to support @thisislany, please educate yourselves on the allegations surrounding @pauljasonklein…his silence on all of it speaks VOLUMES

glad lany never made moves to put us on their team (their loss tbh) because IMAGINE HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS WHOLE SHIT SHOW THEY’VE CREATED!!!
this could’ve all been prevented if paul klein just believed in hiring women onto lany’s team
😞 never ever ever make it public knowledge that u are out and about alone. if u want to make friends, do it ahead of time and meet up. this is so so so dangerous. please do not do this.
i know all the young people in the replies think it’s a good idea and truly i thought it was too when i first read but please this is so dangerous I NEED LANY & THEIR TEAM TO RETHINK THIS “BRILLIANT IDEA” IMMEDIATELY
you used to have a predator as a tour manager and you think brightly colored wristbands signaling that someone is there ALONE is a good idea??
i understand the good intention behind it but MAN you’re dumb lol
lany’s fandom felt like family and we feel betrayed that the person who claimed to create a ‘safe space’ for their predominantly female fanbase turned out to be abusing women behind the scenes. their team was literally only men for fuck’s sake
men (and women!) should ALWAYS be held accountable for their actions and that’s all we ask for paul klein when asking for a statement.
also yes we are expired fans but we don’t take sexual abuse allegations lightly. ALWAYS BELIEVE VICTIMS.
this is such backwards way of thinking...
paul klein choosing not to make a statement/address the allegations against him just further proves men in the entertainment industry can get away with a lot more at the expense of women.
at the end of the day, he will ALWAYS have a career while brushing over this like it’s a speed bump but from the stories that have been told about him, he has potentially hurt a lot of people and hasn’t apologized for it.
