Matt Mondanile has responded to the sexual misconduct allegations against him. Last year, Real Estate said Mondanile was parting ways with the band to pursue his Ducktails project. A week ago, Real Estate told Pitchfork in a statement that they’d actually fired Mondanile due to “allegations of unacceptable treatment of women.” On Monday, SPIN published a report detailing allegations from multiple women, including accusations of Mondanile groping women in their sleep.

Now, in a statement issued through his lawyers, Mondanile has acknowledged “inappropriate behavior.” In the statement, he confirmed he had taken advantage of his role as a musician, but did not address the specific allegations. He said that he apologized to “everyone and anyone” affected by his actions and that he “accepts responsibility for his less than exemplary behavior.” The statement added, “Much of what has been written and talked about is false and defamatory” and that “there are two sides to these stories.”

The statement went on to say that Mondanile signed an exit agreement upon leaving Real Estate in February 2016 that bars him and the band members from disparaging each other or harming their careers. “In violating the terms of the agreement, Real Estate band members were not ‘protecting the victims,’ they were instead protecting themselves by sidestepping the controversy to protect the band’s commercial viability,” the statement said. A representative for Real Estate and their label Domino Recording Co. didn’t immediately respond to Pitchfork’s request for comment.

Real Estate’s statement last Friday, October 13, said that they fired Mondanile because of “allegations of unacceptable treatment of women.” Earlier that morning, Mondanile told Pitchfork, “There’s nothing I can tell you other than that I’ve done nothing wrong at all.” Asked if there were any other alleged victims who might come forward, he said, “No. Not at all. No way. There’s nothing like that.” On Monday, as more details came to light, Real Estate expanded on the statement: “At the time of Matt’s dismissal from the band, the women we had spoken with requested privacy and we honored their wishes,” they wrote. “We remain in complete support of the affected women, and will continue to stand by any decisions they make regarding the further pursuit of this matter.”

Ducktails’ U.S. tour has been canceled, as The Guardian reports and a source with knowledge of the situation has confirmed to Pitchfork. In addition, Ducktails’ Japanese shows have been canceled, according to SPIN. Concerts in the Philippines, Thailand, and North Carolina were previously canceled.
