If you yourself or anyone you know have had experiences with Matthew Good, be it attempts at coercion, sexual coercion of any form or possible abuse please do not be afraid to reach out to Hayley Mather on instagram (@hayleymather).

I know the idea of coming forward can be terrifying and that some of you may have been dealing with this alone for years. You are not alone anymore and your story COULD be the catalyst for protecting or helping someone else.

Your story does not have to have your name attached and you can remain anonymous.

Just an anonymous message of support for the creator of this page and all those who have come forward. I was a huge MGB/Matt Good fan for a large, large portion of my adolescence and early teen years as a teenage girl. He's not an artist I ever go back and revisit, either. Thank you all for coming forward. None of his behaviour surprises me, looking back on it. Best wishes, stay safe, stay strong.💕

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Please do not attack this woman in the comments. That shouldn't need to be said, but I've been reading some abhorrent comments lately.

Actually can we all refrain from attacking each other in the comment sections in general??

*** While we would say that there is no longer a purpose for this blog now that there is at least one article on the internet regarding matt's alleged abuse - for the time being it will stay up. Preventing future abuse and harm is still our main purpose.

Hey Matt remember me from years ago?? Your obsession with using oil. Sending me ideas for games to play and to bring friends to come over and have threesomes with you even when I told you I didn't want to. Messaging me all hours of the night sending me porn. You told me your marriage was over when it wasn't. You told me you were clean and gave me an STD and told me you "never do this” and compromised my health! Can't figure out which one I am because there's too many? Made me feel bad for you with your stupid stories that were lies. I hope every woman on here reads this! A**hole.

You love the 17 year olds don't you? Now do you remember me? How old is your oldest daughter again?

Did all of these people in your band know you were an abuser too???

FYI, mod who did this kind of messed up the order of posts in this set. We're slowly going through and transcribing each post that has so far been available to the public - so this post may be deleted once that goal is finally accomplished just to make things less confusing for new visitors.

Hi everyone, I just want to start by saying that my story is pretty minor compared to what has happened to some others, but as a major former fan I feel like I need to add my voice.

In 2011 I had a brief exchange with Matt through email when I was a member of the M+ premium fansite. He asked for ideas to create a cool experience for fans, I think it might've been a contest or something? Anyway, I sent my idea through email. My uncle worked at a place with a theatre and I thought it would be cool to have a mini concert. Well, initially Matt responded saying that he appreciated my ambitions, but that he would never have time to do something like that. I thanked him for his time and I thought that was it.

Well, he emailed me again and the emails continued for about a week. The conversation through email immediately got sexual and at some point we got on the topic of massages, and I stupidly said I had a friend that did them. He asked if he could get a happy ending and I said I wasn't sure. He wanted to know what my friend looked like do asked for my Facebook. I guess he didn't like how I looked or she looked or something, because the conversation after that immediately shifted to talking about some tv show we both watched.

The only other interaction I had with him was after a show of his I went to shortly after this, where he sent me a Facebook message saying "I didn't know you were here, you should've come said Hi". I responded but never heard from him again after that.

So, this interaction combined with all the things everyone has said on here made me realize what kind of person he is and that everything I've heard throughout the years has been true.

Sorry for doubting any of you and thanks for reading.

Thank you for creating this group. It breaks my heart to see how many women he has affected and I'm sure there are many more. Even when he first contacted me I got the impression that he was reaching out to whoever would bite and I'm sorry to say I was one of those women.

We exchanged messages for quite some time, and at one point he had me convinced to leave my relationship for him. It's interesting how years of being emotionally attached to his lyrics and my (very idealized) perception of him, combined with his persuasive words, could be so impactful. I'm not big on 'celebrities', but I had idolized him for half my life and the fact that he had contacted me was intoxicating. Yet at the same time the overly sexualized and chauvinistic things he said contradicted everything I though I knew about him. Did I play into it? Yes. Do I regret it? Yes.

I was extremely close to moving out and breaking up with my partner. The only thing that saved me from making this mistake was not being able to afford paying 2 rents in the same month (never thought I'd be so thankful for financial instability!) I also talked to a counsellor because it was a very stressful time. I felt torn about what to do every single day and his persistent and pressuring messages didn't help.

Finding out that someone you've thought so highly of is a "real person' is kind of expected. Finding out the extent of that person's terrible traits is somehow too disheartening to put into words. It has honestly made me question a lot about what I believe and trust in life. But still I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I can't imagine having been in a relationship with him. I'm sending you my love and support, and I know we all have it in us to move forward- stronger, wiser, and more united against narcissistic, manipulative assholes.
