Geordie Greep responds after alleged victim and ex-bandmate speak out over “sexual assault” claims

Geordie Greep has responded after the alleged victim and his ex-bandmate spoke out over claims of sexual assault.

The comments come in relation to the allegations made against the former Black Midi singer, which he addressed on stage last week .

Ahead of his show at The Pearl in Vancouver, a person was seen handing out flyers accusing the singer of sexual misconduct.

“Geordie Greep A Rapist” the flyers read, also stating: “You know what you did this morning Oct 8th”.

Greep addressed the accusations on stage that night, saying that while he was a part of a “misunderstanding” at a house party the night prior, the accusations of him being a “rapist” were untrue.

He also said that fans could leave and get a refund for the Vancouver gig if they so wished, and later quietly cancelled shows in Boulder, Boise, Denver, and Salt Lake City .

Attendees of Geordie Greep’s Vancouver show are handed out these flyers alleging he committed sexual assault by u/turgers in indieheads His keyboardist Cameron Campbell did not appear on stage with Greep when he addressed the crowd on October 8, and has since shared a message with a fan confirming that he had quit the band.

Now, both Campbell and the woman affected by the alleged assault have spoken to Paste about the details of the situation, following widespread speculation online.

The woman, using the pseudonym “Laura” claims that she and two other women met Greep at a house party the night before the gig, and that she made it clear to Greep that she was in a relationship.

She then recalled walking with Greep to her friend’s apartment, during which the singer made comments about homeless people that made her uncomfortable and showed “weird behaviour, but nothing alarming or dangerous”.

Later that night, at the apartment, Laura claimed she fell asleep on her friend’s sofa around 5am and woke up to Greep kissing her.

“I don’t know for how long because I was passed out, but I think I woke up fairly quickly.

His lips were on my lips, trying to make out with me, and then I pushed him off.” Campbell said he was not in the room when the alleged incident took place, but claimed to hear Laura yelling at Greep to “get off” her and “immediately” ran into the room to check on her.

“He tried to start downplaying it right there, saying that he only tried to give her a kiss on the cheek—which, again, if she’s asleep, that doesn’t really make it okay either way,” Campbell told the outlet.
