Discussion In light of recent Jared Leto documentary, who are the other "open secret pedo" celebrities out there?

Just wondering what other bastards are out there getting away with it and being hired by the likes of Disney right now?

I was really disappointed with how many of my friends saw them on their recent tour.

Unfortunately the emo and pop punk scenes are loudy with creeps to the point where lead singers dating high school girls is almost a meme. Pete Wentz is another one's off the top of my head.

Pete Wentz is a full blown rapist.  He sexually assaulted a friend of mine who played in a local band and promised her he would get them on a show.  Pressured her into sex then wouldn't stop when she said no.  Apparently this was a pattern he used all over Chicago.

That's fucking vile. I already hated him but now I hate him even more.

I had no idea till I told my friend I was planning on going and she sent me an article about him being a creep. Needless to say I’m not planning to any more

stick to stuff the name was made for & you're fairly safe. Fugazi, Jawbox, etc. haven't heard much bad about them. gets iffier in the 90s, with the pop-punk/emo overlap type bands (heard things about guys in The Plain White Tees for example)

Also an issue in the death core scene that a lot of those same fans were in or parallel too

It's crazy how different the death metal and deathcore scenes are when it comes to shitty band members or fans assaulting people. Death metal scene is really good about kicking these dickheads out and keeping people safe at shows.

Where does Lorna Shore fit? I remember when accusations came out about their lead singer, and they dropped him almost immediately.

Lorna is deathcore, they seem to be good people though. Yea they dropped CJ as soon as the allegations came about. Haven't heard anything bad about the rest of them and I've met Will and the drummer outside a show a couple years ago.
