Maynard James Keenan has responded to an allegation of sexual assault.
On June 22 Twitter user Iwas17HeWas36 accused the Tool and A Perfect Circle frontman of raping her at a stop on the latter band's 2000 tour with Nine Inch Nails. She has also retweeted other similar allegations made against him.
In his statement, Keenan denies the claims.
Many thanks to those of you who saw right through this despicable false claim that only does damage to the #metoo movement. And shame on those of you who perpetuate this destructive clickbait. As for my delayed but un-required response, I had my phone off. You should try it.
