I told you guys Conor Oberst wasn’t a rapist.
The woman who accused Oberst issued an apology, stating, “The statements I made and repeated online and elsewhere over the past six months accusing Conor Oberst of raping me are 100% false. I made up those lies about him to get attention while I was going through a difficult period in my life and trying to cope with my son’s illness. I publicly retract my statements about Conor Oberst, and sincerely apologize to him, his family, and his fans for writing such awful things about him. I realize that my actions were wrong and could undermine the claims of actual sexual assault victims and for that I also apologize. I’m truly sorry for all the pain that I caused.”
WHY DID SHE EVER THINK THAT THIS WAS OKAY. She’s obviously got some mental issues; anything relating to sexual abuse and assault should be taken extremely seriously. It’s not a joke, it’s not funny, it’s not something you speak of lightly.
This accusation led Oberst to face hate, threats, and it seriously affected the sales of his latest record, “Upside Down Mountain”. She pretty much screwed his career pretty bad all because she was feeling bummed out or something. She’s disgusting and I have absolutely nothing but disdain toward her. Accusing anyone of sexual assault when it is entirely false has to be one of the most despicable things you can do to someone, other than actually commit sexual assault. Had she not stepped up and said she was lying, there was a possibility of Oberst’s career absolutely tanking, and, him possibly ending up as a registered sex offender if things were brought to that level.
She needs to be seriously legally punished, and now.
I am disgusted.
