The comments follow allegations made against the former Black Midi singer ahead of his Vancouver show on October 8th, which he addressed on stage. A man ahead of the show was seen handing out fliers accusing the singer of sexual assault with the flyers stating that “Geordie Greep a Rapist” as well as “You know what you did this morning Oct 8th.”

People at the Geordie Greep concert in Vancouver are posting that a guy was walking around passing out these fliers. Meanwhile the show was supposed to start at 8PM and he only just started playing 2 hours later. None of his bandmates are out with him either https://t.co/vGsYdBwfby

Greep took the stage on his own that night, stating that the whole situation had been a “misunderstanding” that had occurred at a house party the night before, and that the accusations were untrue. He offered fans the option to leave the show if they felt uncomfortable with an option for a refund, and later cancelled the remaining shows of his US tour.

Following the alleged incident both the alleged victim as well as Greep’s keyboardist Cameron Campbell have spoken to Paste about the details of the situation.

The woman, referred to with the pseudonym “Laura” claims that she and two other women had met Greep and Campbell at a house party the night before the gig, where she had made it clear that she was in an exclusive relationship. She recalled walking with Greep back to a friend’s apartment where he had made comments about homeless people which made her uncomfortable and described it as “Weird behaviour, but nothing alarming or dangerous.”

She further claimed that later that night after falling asleep on her friend’s couch, she was woken by Greep kissing her. “I don’t know for how long because I was passed out, but I think I woke up fairly quickly. His lips were on my lips, trying to make out with me, and then I pushed him off.” 

Campbell corroborated that whilst he was not in the room when the alleged incident occurred, he heard Laura yelling at Greep to “get off” and ran into the room to check on her. He further stated that after Greep was kicked out of the apartment he had returned to find his phone only to be kicked out again. He then spoke to Greep who allegedly was still waiting in the corridor, describing how “He tried to start downplaying it then and there, saying that he only tried to give her a kiss on the cheek – which, again, if she’s asleep, that doesn’t really make it okay either way.” Campbell confirmed to Paste that “After that I knew I was gonna quit.”

Laura also told the outlet that the flyers were handed out by someone else without her consent and that she is accusing Greep of sexual assault, not rape. In her statement she said that “Those flyers were handed out without my consent or knowledge. I am very disappointed in the person who decided my story was theirs to twist and tell the world… When I realized what was happening I pushed him off of me and called him out on what he was doing. If I’d had a couple more drinks and didn’t wake up when I did, I don’t know what would’ve happened. But the matter of fact is I was not raped. I don’t know his full intentions, and either way, his behaviour was disgusting. But he did not rape me and I would never claim otherwise.”

In response to the Paste article, Greep shared another statement online, sharing his recollection of that night. He stated that he was unaware that Laura was asleep at the time, and that he “apologised and stepped away” when she told him to stop. Greep further stated that “I want to unreservedly apologise to her for what I did and for the distress and hurt I caused that night. It was a huge mistake. I feel awful about it and I am very sorry. I got it all wrong that night and I accept that. I understand the impact of my actions and take full accountability. I’m not trying to minimise what happened in any way and, again, all I can say is how sorry I am.”
