Apparently it took indie-pop artist BØRNS two whole days to come up with a single paragraph issuing the allegations made by multiple women. A handful of women have come forward about Garret Clark Borns and his tendency to reach out to fans younger than him, much younger, and completely take advantage of them.
The women that have spoken out claim they began talking to the artist when they were 15-16 years old; He would’ve been around 23 at the time. All of their stories go back to some disturbing behavior on Garret’s part, especially since he knew their ages. Twitter user @kaliforxnia was one of the first to come forward, and you can see her story on her Twitter profile.
“I actually let him talk me into using me…again,” she wrote. “He did not use protection and didn’t care when I said I wasn’t comfortable with that and was not on birth control at the time,” -@kaliforxnia
Read Borns full statement released earlier today.
There is an entire Twitter handle dedicated to allegations made against the artist, complete with screenshots backing up the statements.
“I was just a little puppet in his game.”
We stand with the women that came forward and told their story. Speaking out against an artist with such a large and devoted fanbase is never easy, but they deserve the respect. They also deserve more than a lackluster statement, hopefully, we see that change soon.
