I also want to make something clear because I think itโs gotten lost along the way. None of us ever wanted to โcancelโ these guys. That was never the goal. The reason we kept speaking up was because we were genuinely afraid of someone else ending up in the same position as us. We wanted accountability and to be heard and we wanted things to be handled differently moving forward. I, especially, wasnโt lying about anything and Anthony knows that.
Hate has zero place in the search for resolution. I have had genuine conversations with everyone involved and was made aware of comments and messages made by fans attacking them. I do not and will never support people sending death threats or hatred on my behalf.
Wanted to share an update on the situation
Over the past few days, Anthony @AntDarkDivine reached out and spent several hours speaking with those of us directly involved. I can only speak for myself, but we had a very long and honest conversation. He acknowledged the ways I was failed & the harm it caused, the impact it had on me personally & professionally, and where things should have been handled differently. He took genuine accountability for those failures, apologized for the way I was treated, and gave me the opportunity to finally be heard that I wasnโt given previously. While I canโt change what happened, I do appreciate the time & willingness to listen and I hope they grow from it.
There are still other conversations & actions that need to happen, so I donโt want to speak for anyone elseโs experience, but I can say that on my end I feel comfortable putting this to rest and moving forward.
Based on the convos that have happened I am choosing to trust that the proper steps will be taken to ensure situations like this are handled better in the future. I hope it encourages artists/crew/mgmt/fans alike to take concerns seriously, communicate better, and approach situations like these with more emotional intelligence and care because it happens more often than you think, and it shouldnโt.
Please stop sending hate to anyone involved. Youโre allowed to have your opinions, but continuing to attack people & drag unrelated parties into this isnโt helping anyone. Please leave Motionless in White out of it as well. I would also appreciate it if Iโd stop receiving death threats & messages telling me to end my life.
I donโt want this to endlessly circulate. I am tired and ready to move on. I hope everyone involved can do the same.
Formally posting my peace. I have spoken with @AntDarkDivine and came to a middle ground as far as myself goes. We had a very constructive conversation, both Anthony and I reflected on things, weโve spoken about the past and where conversations went wrong. I was given the overdue apology, and we fully cleared the air between myself and @DarkDivineMusic
I do not speak for anyone else. But as far as myself is concerned, my personal issues have been resolved in full through Anthony
Not necessarily. Iโm asking for a brief pause in, and I quote them, this calculated witch-hunt.
Things might or might not change. I do just think itโs a bit unfair to continue stirring things up while there are conversations happening, especially motionless as thereโs a lot I wonโt say but there are multiple conversations happening.
I may have gotten my conversation and closure, but others havenโt, and actions speak louder than promises. Iโm not fueling the fire but Iโm not putting it out. If any of this makes sense idk I feel like Iโm talking in circles
You're not sorry, you're just trying to save your ass cuz you got a spot on a tour with prominent bands (which you absolutely do Not fucking deserve) and don't want to lose that. Your mask is transparent and your actions don't line up with the words you're spewing.
Lmao sure except letโs not forget about how Robby consistently screamed & yelled in my face and told me to โget the fuck over itโ when I was reporting the abuse and sexual harassment! Totally safe space to tour in, right, HA!
Thatโs not a matter of mishandling it, sorry. That was a conscious decision. And every decision they made after that regarding how they treated us and how theyโve lied on our names, were also very consciously made decisions.
I am reallyyyyyyy fucking sick of constantly having the shit I went through with DD be picked apart and watered down by parasocial & pick-me ass fucking fans online. Like at this point Iโd rather people just stop sharing it bc it is getting fucking tiresome. Kick rocks.
All Iโm going to say about Caleb Shomo is that he rocks, and no fucking wonder he held his truth inside all this time because of you homophobic fucks.
Anyways fix your hearts or die and stream Beartooth
Before pride month starts im just gonna say this:
-menโs mental health month is in November
-straight pride isnโt a thing. Nobody has ever been oppressed or killed for being straight
-veterans get 2 months. May and November
So do some research before complaining :)
Listen, to anyone who does not support Caleb block me. Heโs a sweetheart and deserves all the good coming to him.
REMINDER!!! He was groomed by his wife. He was 17 when they started dating, and then he was 19 when they got married. LOOK AT THE FACTS PEOPLE!!
Caleb Shomo (Beartooth) has come out as gay in a new statement shared to his fans on IG.
"There's been a lot of speculation surrounding my personal life as of late and feel compelled to set the record straight before it affects those love any further. I am a proudly gay man."
