Accountability in Music • Page 835

Quinn Allman beginning to speak up about the mistreatment/abuse he suffered from Bert McCracken

 

Oh wow

 

Quinn got kicked out while taking a break for his mental health which was pretty bad itself - but the implication now is even that was because of Bert.

On a similar note he kicked out Branden Steineckert purely for being sober way back so it doesn't look good at all.

 

And Justin said he wrote that entire record and then they booted him.

 

wtf

 

Wow I haven’t really listened to the band in years but all the stuff Burt went through wasn’t aware he was an abuser. Also had no idea they kicked out their original drummer because he was sober?

 

Official statement according to Wikipedia was "They said they felt they needed to move forward without him, and that there was a personality conflict between Steineckert and another band member."

but Branden spoke up later about it and wanting to quit music because of it:

Really sucks that if you say something about Parker kicking a girl offstage or being in a band with a rapist in the TSSF thread, you're "beating a dead horse"

 

Ugh. I always wondered about Quinn leaving. He was my favorite part about The Used.

 

Oh Justin...........

 

Was that picture taken before he got in the car? He looks zooted

 

Rich people driving while intoxicated (or anyone, really, but especially people that can afford the top-of-the-line Uber) is always baffling.

 

think that story is fake because drunk driving is legal on long island

 

As long as you pray to the patron saint of Long Island car crashes, Billy Joel.

 

It would be in Montauk he picked the wrong Hampton

 

the bert/gerard way fallout way back when was because gerard didn't wanna keep partying like bert

 

Def didn’t have JT as a poppers user on my bingo card. Tested positive for alcohol, mdma, cocaine, truvada and poppers.

 

yeah nah he didn’t that’s from the account “Poo Crave” also Truvada is an HIV drug

 

Media literacy is so important lol

 

I know that once you hit 30-32 your license doesn’t expire for like 55 years or whatever but kind of shocked if he has a valid drivers license. Seemed like he was kind of at that level of fame and riches that he wouldn’t have to drive himself somewhere unless he wanted to / likes to drive.

but again, just fucking get a ride.

but devil’s advocate if I was rich and famous I’d personally constantly worry that someone would try to rob me, kidnap me, blackmail me so maybe getting a ride from a stranger wouldn’t be the best but again, I’m sure he has someone he can call he trusts to get him a goddamn ride

 

Poo Crave strikes again

 

Yeah but on the flip side of your devil's advocate, if you are famous, you absolutely should have someone else drive you even after a SIP of alcohol because it's not worth it

 

I'm not surprised rich ppl like to drive because I feel like in the USA at least, driving is a big thing regarding feeling independent kind of across all social classes. Britney spears and other celebs have talked about not being able to drive for a while and missing that freedom. I think it's part of our car culture. But obviously no excuse for DUI espesh with all the alternatives and the $$$ he has
