"I never sued Fat Mike, NOFX, or served anyone in the band legal papers - not at 8am, not ever. What actually happened: a letter was sent in the late afternoon of October 7, 2024. Not a lawsuit, not a demand Mike pay me millions of dollars, the words 'thief' or 'illegal' appear nowhere in it - it was a letter requesting financial records I'd been requesting for years without receiving, and asking for certain conduct to stop."
"I love being in NOFX. I love my band mates. I am so proud of what we've built together over decades. This weekend we premiere a documentary, and while it's rooted mostly in one person's perspective, it's us, for better or worse. We will all be there."
Eric Melvin issued a statement addressing false claims that he sued Fat Mike and NOFX. Melvin clarified that drummer Erik Sandin's January statement was inaccurate. Instead of a lawsuit, Melvin sent a private letter on October 7, 2024, requesting financial records he had been seeking for years and asking for certain conduct to cease. As a band member and LLC member, Melvin asserted this was his right. Despite the dispute, Melvin expressed love for NOFX and his bandmates, emphasizing their decades-long collaboration. He called for ending rumors and focusing on the band's documentary premiere and their fans.
