Geordie Greep Responds to Sexual Misconduct Allegation, Cancels Tour Dates

Geordie Greep is responding to sexual misconduct allegations made against him.

During his show in Vancouver on Thursday (Oct.

8), the former Black Midi frontman addressed accusations of rape after an individual outside the Pearl venue distributed flyers to concertgoers accusing him of sexual assault.

The flyers read , “Geordie Greep A Rapist.

You know what you did this morning Oct 8th.

He thinks he can do what he wants.

Let Him Know What Vancouver Thinks of Rapists.” Greep took the stage about an hour later than scheduled and performed without his backing band, addressing the flyers distributed outside the venue.

“Essentially what happened last night, me and some of the band we went out to some bars, we went around, we met people, and it ended up in a situation where really late at a house party, I got the wrong end of the stick with someone who was there, and I made a move, and it didn’t come off,” Greep told the audience .

“I really quickly, of course, apologized, and it was a complete misunderstanding on my part.

I felt extremely bad, I feel extremely sorry, and extremely upset about the whole situation.

I would never rape a woman.

I’m not a rapist.

It’s not how that went down.” Greep said he would perform the Vancouver concert solo because he “didn’t want to force them to still play a show in the light of that happening.” He also noted that proceeds from the show would be donated to an anti-violence organization in British Columbia.

“We were unsure what the response would be to all this, and I can only tell you that it’s okay if people want refunds, if they want to leave, it’s fine,” Greep continued.
