The ugly side of the music industry.
In a groundbreaking revelation that shook the music industry to its core, ten women stepped into the spotlight to spill the details of their shocking experiences at the hands of several notable musicians.
Rock vocalist Axl Rose, pop singer Nick Carter, and others have been implicated in a series of disturbing allegations, thrusting them into a maelstrom of public scrutiny and legal challenges.
The survivors, emboldened by each other's testimony, have bravely come forward to seek justice. This has brought to light a sinister undercurrent of abuse and exploitation that has been whispered about but rarely confronted with such collective force.
This wave of accusations has prompted a wider conversation about power dynamics within the music industry, where such behavior has often been overlooked, if not implicitly condoned.
The industry now faces a moment of reckoning as these women's accounts demand a cultural shift. They are not only demanding justice but also advocating for systemic changes to ensure safety and respect for all.
Their rallying cry, “Enough is enough!” is not just a call for accountability but a beacon for change in the society at large.
Moving over to the legal arena, denials poured down in torrents, but these resilient survivors aren’t backing down from their claims.
With Nick Carter and Melissa Schuman in a courtroom clash and Axl Rose facing his own share of accusations, the spotlight is intensifying on the systemic issues that allow such misconduct to persist.
Scroll down to find out more details.
Former Dream singer Melissa Schuman recounted her traumatic encounter with Backstreet Boys' Nick Carter at the tender age of 18.
But she didn't just share her story; she ripped the curtain off the industry's exploitative underbelly. "The music industry should thrive on talent, dedication, and passion, not coercion, exploitation, and certainly not rape," Schuman declared.
Though her dreams of a successful music career were shattered, she now stands as a fierce advocate, urging others to break the silence that has allowed such issues to persist.
From Schuman's eye-opening exposé, it was clear that success seemingly came at the cost of one's body. Even more alarming was the orchestrated retaliation—Carter's fans were allegedly mobilized to shame and silence her.
In her words,
I have since become a target of retaliation through orchestrated PR. Read the headlines and social media attacks my abuser and his boy band are well funded, they have access to extensive resources and they even weaponize their fandom to shield their bandmate and brand from accountability.
Sheila Kennedy, a former Penthouse model, filed a lawsuit against Guns N' Roses' Axl Rose, recounting a traumatic incident in 1989. In a bombshell revelation in November 2023, 61-year-old Kennedy didn't hold back. She alleged that after resisting Rose's push for group intimacy with two other models, she was allegedly knocked to the floor and dragged to the bed.
She emphasized the difficulty of speaking out, but silence was no longer an option—she couldn't stay idly in the background any longer.
In Kennedy’s words,
I have a voice and I don’t want to be called a victim. I want other women to hear this about Axl Rose, he’s a monster and he needs to be held accountable. And I’m here today to make sure that happens.
Kari Krome, part of the Make Music Safe Program and a former songwriter for The Runaways, called out Rodney Bingenheimer for being a "notorious predator." Five other women trailed closely behind as they recently slammed the DJ with accusations of their own.
Krome had a lot to say to reporters,
I’m here to demand Sirius XM to remove Rodney Bingenheimer a well-known serial predator and pedophile. What I want to know is how do listeners feel about having an abuser and a pedophile employed by Sirius XM?
How many more victims need to come forward for Sirius to take this seriously? This is a cancer that’s affected every aspect of the industry and I’m here to call for it to stop and I would just like to say flat out shame on Sirius XM. Remove Rodney Bingenheimer.
The Late Runaways manager, Kim Fowley, wasn’t also left out. Kari filed a lawsuit against him in April 2023 for sexually assaulting her in the ‘70s when she was only a teen—even a one-way ticket to the afterlife couldn’t save him from this storm.
These brave women have ripped apart the veil of silence, forcing us to confront uncomfortable truths about the music industry. Their resounding message is loud and clear: the era of silence is over.
It is time to confront the demons lurking within and foster an environment where talent thrives without shadows of coercion, exploitation, harassment, or assault.
