The claims against me are not only untrue but also deeply damaging - to me, my loved ones, my band and those who have supported me throughout my life.
We stand in solidarity with all people who are victims of abuse, and condemn the mistreatment of those vulnerable in our communities.
Knowing something was deeply, deeply wrong, I began sharing my experience and feelings with people who may know of someone else harmed by Anaiah.
