THE VOIDZ FALL DEEP INTO THE VOID….
Ok, so I recently posted about the drama surrounding the band, The Voidz. Well after some digging, I found an alleged screenshot of their first official statement on the Beardo accusations involving underaged fans before it was deleted. First, let me say that through observation on Instagram, the fans seem to fall into three categories: those who just want an official statement, those who already saw the official statement and are even more upset and want an apology for how it was handled, and those who don’t care and still love the band no matter what.
I fell into the first category I didn’t even know a statement had been made because it had already been deleted when I came along. So there are many who missed out on that statement. Well, here it is and it’s a lot to unpack and very problematic and contradictory in its nature, but for now I will just make these brief points.
1. The official statement should have been something objective that they could stand by and leave posted instead of just rant-posting and deleting it leaving many fans still in the dark.
2. Why is the post so defensive? The band isn’t big enough to have that many trolls and they can’t seem to realize there is real concern from real fans, not trolls.
3. I understand they don’t want to throw their own bandmate under the bus without proof, but they didn’t have to word it as if there’s absolutely no possible way it could be true. They have no way of knowing that for sure unless they follow Jeramy 24/7.
4. All they had to say was something to the effect of …
“We as a band stand against sexual harassment of any kind and are aware of the allegations out there, but all such claims are unsubstantiated and we would like to speak no further on the matter.” or something like that! So easy, and that’s just from the top of my head! That’s all they had to say. They didn’t have to attack, block and delete their own supporters! Yeesh! 😬
They need serious damage control, or a PR person because their emotions fueled the statement and that’s why it was poorly made. A true “lawyer” wouldn’t have worded things like that, lol, but nice try.
But really all they need to do is a video apology and a denial of any accusations and a stance against sexual harassment and all will be good! Now some may still side-eye Beardo, including me, but at least Julian could redeem himself, after all he is the band’s leader and so many follow his every word. Now they just want him to be a man of his word and beliefs.
I tell you what, fame is fickle and hard to navigate, but consumers like to know exactly what they are consuming before they choose to spend money to consume again.
Sorry, this went a little longer than I intended…but there it is…😅
