@austinkerrisinnocent-blog
I will say as someone who is an adult and had interacted with the band and Austin on multiple occasions with underage fans around or with me I have never seen Austin that period the way this girl has implied. This is all ridiculous and childish.
I completely agree
I'd like to sya something about your austin post. I completely agree with you and admire everything you posted. I heard about this yesterday from a friend and found myself offended that she could just accuse someone without reading what has been posted. Some people just seek attention and that is truly unfortunate.
Yeah exactly. I've noticed that most people have changed their opinion since my post though as I brought another side to it which is brilliant! As long as the majority know he's innocent, that's what matters!
Austin is a friend of a lot of my friends, and I had the pleasure of getting to know him at Warped Tour back in 2011. Austin is a guy that shows his appreciation for fans in a more affectionate way than other band members, and I always appreciated him for that - but that's probably because I personally am a touchy-feely person. It's hard to read if someone is uncomfortable if they are consistently around you. I'm not negating her claims, but asking her to realize her actions mean something too.
Exactly!
Hey, I don't know if this means anything now but I always believed Austin was innocent. The second I found out about sexual assault allegations against I thought something was amiss. He was like my favourite member of the band, he seemed so kind! Anyway, I saw your post about messaging you if we thought he was innocent, so here I am! I will continue to support Austin, the way he handled it was fantastic and shows how lovely he is
I wrote the post because I wanted people to message AltPress to get them to publish his statement, but I messaged them and they did it straight away so it's all good now! But yes I'm glad you believe him :)
I met Austin Kerr at a Millionaires concert back in 2011. It was at Jerry's pizza in Bakersfield..just when they were beginning to be known. Out of all the bliand members, he was the sweetest. My friends and I were fairly young still, but he didn't disqualify us from chatting with him merely for that reason. He was only FRIENDLY, you can tell upon meeting him that he is an empathetic person and probably raised around women. He was in no way flirting with me or any girls around us, just FRIENDLY!
Exactly! Some people mistake friendliness as flirting
Hey, I'd be happy to help and I definitely think Austin is innocent.
That's awesome. The only thing people can do to help now is to get this all known :)
Literally just making this blog so that I can post MY statement, anonymously . I wish that I didn’t have to do it anonymously , but I know how people are like. No matter how much evidence you throw into the works, once someone is accused of sexual harassment, that’s it. Nobody wants to listen to anyone else’s side of the story, despite whether they have valid points or not. However you feel about it, there is literally no denying that there are three sides to every story. I’m here to provide my side. I did not want to get involved but I refuse to sit there and watch someone’s life get ruined over something which they did not even do. So here’s the thing. I went to see Set It Off perform in Sheffield, which is the night that the post about his sexual harassment is about. After the show finished, I went to the tour bus to meet the guys and get pictures with them. Austin was at the tour bus at the time that I was and from that moment on I literally did not leave his side all night. So I literally saw everything. The post accusing him of harassment starts by talking about her experience with Austin at Crown the Empire. Now I was there but of course me and Austin aren’t joined at the hip so I can’t say whether what she claims is true or not, HOWEVER, she did mention how her experience with Austin at the concert made her uncomfortable to be around him and that she was terrified of him from then on. This is something which I can make a pretty valid point about. Some people may ask why she even went to see Set It Off again after that concert if she was as terrified of Austin as she claims, and to an extent I agree with that. I was sexually abused by a band member of a different band once and regardless of how much I loved the band, I avoided them like the plague from then on because just the sight of the member would give me panic attacks and PTSD flashbacks. However, everyone has different ways of handling situations. The thing that I did find odd though, was that she said that she had asked members of Decade and Set It Off to keep Austin away from her. When I saw her in Sheffield, I was literally standing next to her and I saw her walk up to the tour bus where Austin was and engaged in conversation with him. She talked about her appearance and said things that, to me, sounded very much like she was fishing for compliments off him, such as ‘oh I look awful today’ which he replied ‘no you don’t, you look fine’. So some people may think oh maybe he’s made her go to talk to him and not let her leave or whatever, but he went into the tour bus for a few minutes and asked us all if we could mind his stuff. If she were uncomfortable talking to him, she would have left when he had gone. However, she stayed and waited for him to come back, then continued talking to him. I have spoken to somebody who was there that night who slept with Austin, as I wanted to make sure that everything was okay with her. The girl told me that everything that happened she 100% consented to, and that Austin even messaged her the next day asking if she regretted anything and made sure that she was okay about it all. The girl then told me that she had gotten a message off a friend saying that Joe from Decade had been concerned about her as he had heard a rumour about Austin harassing girls, and wanted to make sure that she consented to sleeping with Austin. Looking more into this and discussing the situation with Joe, it was discovered that Joe had been told about the rumour of the harassment and wanted to see whether it was true or not, and if not he could help Austin. The fact that the girl who wrote the sexual harassment post is saying that her proof of Austin harassing her lays through the fact that members of Set It Off and Decade were defending her is a lie. Decade had been told about the situation and were concerned for Austin as they were aware of the fact that the things that the girl were saying were untrue. As well as this, the girl who wrote the post about harassment also said that ‘within 24 hours of Set It Off finding out about the situation, they removed Austin from the band’. This is incorrect. Austin found out about the situation about three days after the event, which was about four days before he left the band. He told the other band members and they were trying to figure out what to do about the situation for several days beforehand. The reason that they came to the conclusion of Austin leaving was because people were sending them threats to get them kicked off stage at Slam Dunk and Warped, and threatening to egg them. Once Austin knew that the rumour was affecting the band, he chose to leave. It is not because the girl had told the band about what had happened. The girl continued to post that she was very good friends with the other members of Set It Off, and that Zach and Maxx had showered in her hotel. People were questioning the motive of Zach and Maxx, trying to make the girl think that they were sexually harassing her for accepting her offer of showering. The fact that people jumped so quickly to a conclusion that they were trying to harass her just by accepting HER offer to shower shows just how people on the internet are, that they jump to conclusions and don’t realise that saying people have sexually harassed someone is actually a huge deal and can ruin their lives. The girl defended Zach and Maxx saying that she was closer to them than the rest of the band and she felt comfortable around them. This is her justification for them being in her room. It just makes me think if it was Austin who had taken up her offer if she’d have written about that and tried to turn that against him too, as apparently him asking her where a good place to eat is sexual harassment to her and him telling her boyfriend to be good to her is apparently aggressive and threatening. Finally, the girl mentions how she is no longer friends with the band due to what happened. If what she says is true and they really were accepting of what she was saying and believed her then why would they not be friends with her anymore? funny, huh. The entire night that I was with Austin, I did not see him harass anyone. He flirted with a girl and they kissed, then she walked away and he left her alone for the rest of the night, aware that she had changed her mind. He respected all of us and was honestly so lovely. It is disgusting that anyone would try to accuse him of doing such things. I don’t know about you, but to me falsely accusing someone of sexual harassment is just as bad as sexually harassing someone. This girl has basically ruined this guys career, reputation and very possibly life. Now I was with several other people during the night of Sheffield who all witnessed the same thing that I did. Some people I had just met, some I had known for a while. Matter of fact is that there are at least four people who can back up this post and know that Austin is innocent. People make these things up in order to get attention and cause drama, and once the internet has something like this in its hands, it blows up and spirals out of control. The whole thing is a case of chinese whispers and it is ridiculous. Please take what I have said into consideration. I can’t speak for times where I have not been with Austin, but the post which has caused him to leave the band and receive death threats is so unbelievably exaggerated.
Your story defininitely sounds more credible and realistic tbh I feel like you could be his defense in court. ((((:
If it came to that then I would be willing to do so
I'm way too emotionally invested in people's lives :') Trying to make everyone happy is harder than I'd like it to be ._.
My friend needs your help. If you think Austin is innocent, please inbox me. Thanks :)
I put all of the screenshots in one post so that it’s easier to read. Some people are saying that this http://austinkerrisinnocent.tumblr.com/post/120024714403/literally-just-making-this-blog-so-that-i-can-post is all lies However I think that these screenshots can back up some of what was said and hopefully will give the fans and music media a different perspective on the situation.
For those who wanted actual physical evidence. Some people are saying that i’m lying to bring it all back up and to attack Rayne or whatever. I’m not. This is proving that at least some things that I have said are true, as well as showing how confused and baffled Austin was over the claims.
some people refuse to believe me over this unless i come off anon matter of fact is theres a reason why im on anon because i dont want to get involved when it comes to sexual assault and things because its too much for me to deal with i did it anonymous because i wasnt just going to sit there and let him be wrongly accused, however if i wont report my own sexual assault then im not going to get involved in something which did not involve me. I spoke about what i felt comfortable speaking about and did it in a way which made me feel safe The internet is a dangerous place and if i wasnt anonymous then it could put me in danger because lets be honest, some people really flip when they dont agree with what people say online when its to do with this stuff ive already had a lot of hate and thats why im remaining anonymous it does not make it any less valid, it just makes me feel safer.
We live in a difficult world. It appears in every situation people are either too sensitive or not sensitive enough. Over the last few weeks I’ve learned that anything you say or do can be taken a multitude of ways… It’s very important for people such as myself to take responsibility for the way that my words and actions are taken. For instance: Telling someone they have nice hair, could mean anything from you liking a color or trying to brighten their day, to hoping they’ll sleep with you.
Facts are subjective when dealing with the way someone feels. This takes special consideration. However there will always be some people that take advantage of opportunities where they feel scorned. Using the language of sexual assault, harassment, etc. carries a certain power in society.
We all can think of a time where we’ve been accused of things we didn’t do, had our actions or intentions taken the wrong way or blown out of proportion from what we meant. It’s part of the human condition. I’m sure many of you have experienced the result of that personally. Unfortunately on the internet anyone can post anything they want and it’s guilty until proven innocent.
I’ve learned you can’t just treat anyone like anyone, you have to be especially observant of the way they feel or will take things. This is something I hadn’t been paying attention to. Woman deserve more respect than that.
I was raised in a strong female household of four women, and probably would get my ass kicked if I ever harassed a woman, haha. However I was raised to be extremely affectionate, whether I had romantic intentions or not. Although I know many women who can attest to this in a positive manner, I now realize that some people take that sexually. That is something I now take full responsibility for.
It’s also true that facts can suggest to what did or did not actually happen, so here are some facts: • I’ve attached are screen shots with what has always been my policy on underage girls • This is a link to a blog post from a 3rd party perspective of one of the nights. http://bit.ly/1QoYPl6 • I have come one on to woman who have followed me on social media and attended shows. • I will now never come on to another person who shows interest in something I’ve created again. That’s not what that type of attention means. • I’ve on often drank heavily on tour and gotten too intoxicated to remember after show events. Some allegations seem to be based on these times. • As soon as I first heard I made anyone feel uncomfortable 14 days ago, to make an effective end. I stopped drinking, flirting with and hugging anyone at shows or online. Then made this known to the sources of these allegations before the blog post went up. I brought up leaving the band when It became apparent from the blog that fans felt unsafe at shows. I’ve always believed that’s a place people should feel safe. Everyone one has a right to feel harassed by anything. If you ever feel uncomfortable, no matter who or what the situation, I believe you should stand up and say something. I would never want anyone to not speak up. I am actively working with several organizations to better understand woman and after training hope to eventually volunteer to help them. I vow to use this experience to get knowledge for both myself and others.

WHY AM I BRITISH AND WHY DOES IT COST ME OVER THREE THOUSAND POUNDS JUST FOR A FLIGHT. WHY.
Thank you so much for this account. I met Austin in March and he was an absolute sweetheart. An underage girl made a joke with him and he shut her down, instantly, while I was waiting to get a picture. He took like five pictures with me because the lighting was really shitty in the venue. I'm just glad there are other people out there who believe in him too.
No worries. Yeah, he’s absolutely lovely. It’s a shame that people attention seek and make up lies about ‘famous’ people just to get in the spotlight. Austin is a super nice person and I wish him the best, with whatever he ends up doing
