Later that same day, Blunts & Blondes released a statement, “Being falsely accused of rape is not something to be taken lightly. Sadly, anyone that would accuse me or suggest that I am capable of something so terrible doesn’t know the true nature of my character.” He ends his words by explaining that he currently exploring all his legal options.

People were quick to jump into the comments to pick sides and even other artists like Moore Kismet shared their distaste on the matter.

just wanted to say that you’re a massive asshole for trying to “anyone who knows me” your way out of this and take legal action against your victims-

Yesterday, Reinhardt released her statement detailing her side of the story on the day of July 27^th, 2019 at Borgore’s Foam Wonderland event in Indianapolis, IN. She explained she was invited by Guard back to his hotel room where they engaged in using illicit drugs and it was after that he forced himself on her.

“When Tristan left the room Mike ripped my pants off and started giving me oral. This was not consensual. Before I could process what was happening, Tristan came back into the room and this made Mike jump up and stop. Mike then got in the best next to me and made me put my hand on his dick and he was touching me under the covers. This was not consensual.”

Blunts & Blondes is currently on his “Life of a Stoner” tour but in light of recent events his supporting acts DRINKURWATER, Benda, and Space Wizard have dropped from the lineup. As of now, both parties are seeking to take legal action and it is unknown what will transpire next, but we will be following the story closely.
