All Time Low Deny Allegations of Sexual Misconduct

On Monday, pop-punk rockers All Time Low made an official statement in response to accusations made throughout this month, one specifically against guitarist Jack Barakat, involving claims of sexual assault, inappropriate behavior, and coercian. The accusations occurred on Twitter and TikTok and gained quick traction.

“It is with that in mind that we have to state with outright certainty that what is being said about us is completely and utterly false,” the Maryland natives said in their statement, explaining that they did not initially respond at first as not to “[rob] actual victims of abuse of their very real and very important collective voice.”

An investigation is said to be underway to look into source of the allegations, as well as legal recourse.

“We cannot and will not fuel or amplify lies that only cloud and distort the true stories of those who need to be heard and represented,” the band emphasized as they explained how they “have only ever wanted to cultivate and nurture a culture around [their] shows and band that is welcoming, healthy and safe.”
