Today, has been a rough one for the music industry as allegations of sexual misconduct with a minor are surfacing against Brand New's vocalist Jesse Lacey. In light of these allegations, Say Anything's vocalist Max Bemis took to Twitter to voice a different side to situations like this. When stories like these happen in the industry many forget about the damage that is left on the spouse and family of the accused. Bemis brought up a valid point as he is a married man with children and what "emotional abuse" is placed on them as well. He also addresses that "we should all question the dynamics of sexuality and our role in this."

Here is what he had to say that we pieced together over a series of tweets from his personal Twitter account:

"Gotta sound in. I was a naive kid when I entered "this scene" at 19 and found out that a lot of people I knew of or looked up to repeatedly cheated on their spouses and girlfriends, hooked up with underage girls, etc. It has been heartbreaking and continues to be jarring as someone who I hope is different. It makes me question even the mutual not-coerced of-age interactions I've had with women during my youth. We should all question the dynamics of sexuality and our role in this.

That being said, I've never and would never cheat on my wife or betray my family and that is also a form of emotional abuse I see perverted by many people in entertainment as well as other obvious creepy shit. Given all of this, I'm going to be retiring the song Wow I Can Get Sexual Too for the foreseeable future. It may speak partially of my flaws but mostly a sarcastic caricature of someone I've never been at all and is no longer appropriate during this crisis."
