The Get Up Kids - Problems (May 10,2019) Album • Page 6

Jesus. Awful.

 

Acceptable

 

This is a comment they left on an Instagram post discussing James no longer being a member



And the original post:

 

Aside from the James drama, just wanted to say that both Kicker and Problems blow all the new Blink 182 out of the water.

 

That is horrible. What a scumbag. Just cleared all of the Reggie albums from my phone, fuck that.

 

Reading the lyrics to "The Advocate"

It would make a lot of sense if that song was about James

 

Welp.

From The Get Up Kids And Their Adult 'Problems'

 

There’s a lot of inconsistencys with her post tbh.

Firstly he didn’t get kicked out of the get up kids due to any sort of allegations, it was because he’s an addict and/or in band fighting. They literally had on stage fighting and Matt mentioned in a recent podcast he’s difficult to work with.

She’s jumping on this even though it’s completely unrelated. One of her posts clearly mentions his band members not taking it seriously. From the members social posts they all got tattooed by his new gf recently, not something that would be done if you were kicking him out for his relationship issues.

There’s a lot of other inconsistencies too. At one point she mentions he had 8 gfs across the world (why when he barely tours outside the US?) but suddenly it’s then 12? How did you even find 12 people connected to him with absolutely no public posts on the subject?

Maybe he cheated on her. Maybe it was a shitty relationship in general and he’s a bad person to date. She says he took advantage of her financially but like he really had no need to? She goes from implying hes an abuser (but mostly financial??) to posting about his kickstarter- which was six years ago?? and calling it out as expensive when really that’s not the point?? She’s since gone begging for likes for evidence of him ripping fans off by not posting out shirts they paid for, evidence which is freely available on Facebook/etc anyway?? I’m not sure it makes sense to try and call someone out for being an abuser then suddenly rant about $30 shirts?

he’s obviously got issues if he is ripping fans off (and they didn’t get lost in the post), very telltale signs of addict behaviour but it’s hardly worth mentioning.

she contradicts herself on every other post. it’s just illogical.
there’s more I could delve into but won’t for privacy sakes. just know that the majority of that account is as of now, nonsense.

edit: also now bringing into it his tax issues, as if that’s relevant??? stick to whatever abuse you’re claiming, not his own personal issues and sharing screenshots of that info with others.

 

See this is where her posts really don’t hold up. He didn’t get them “in trouble” on tour, he was kicked out for being an addict / in band fighting / it not working out.
They cancelled a tour due to low ticket sales, note the smaller venues on the December run.

Band got matching tattoos by his new gf recently, definitely don’t hate him.

 

Is this really happening? And did you create an account just to post this?

 

Lol

 

Looks like the instagram has been updated with a whole bunch of stuff.

I'm by no means doubting this persons story, but this IG damn near impossible to figure out. I hope the truth comes out soon one way or the other.

 

did that instagram account at one point say they'd post details about the assaults if they got X number of likes?? what in the flying fuck

 

Yeah. They said if one of their posts got 50 likes they would post info regarding things James did

 

I'm sorry but that's an insanely juvenile way to treat information related to abusers

 

The insta does seem rather scatterbrain but I don’t doubt the actual events / info.

 

Ugh. I absolutely fucking adored Reggie and the Full Effect as a teen.

Even really enjoyed No Country for Old Musicians.

This sucks. And significantly more so for those he - apparently - hurt. Shame.

 

They did mention emailing a pitchfork journalist info so I do hope all of this info is being complied for an more easily understandable article. And as screwed up as it is to owe the IRS money I don't think that needs to be discussed in light of other abuse allegations.

 

It's relevant if he's manipulating these women into giving him money. It's motivation to do shitty things.

 

I wasn't think the 2 were related but that's a good point.

 

Does “Satellite” remind anyone else of “Amsterdam” by Guster? Just a tiny bit?

 

I haven't heard a Guster song since the Woodstock '99 CD... haha
