After the allegations yesterday by a woman from Vienna, Austria, Verena Celis, who claimed she was "emotionally and sexually manipulating" by Suicide Silence frontman Eddie Hermida while she was 17 and he was 32. In her statement, Celis noted that she began talking with Hermida online when she was 16, and at one point Hermida mistakenly assumed she was 18 (she did not correct him that she was in fact 17) and then she claims he began sending her explicit photos and eventually started asking for her to send some to him.

A few weeks later he gave me his snapchat and we occasionally snapped each other but nothing really happened, until he for some reason just assumed I turned 18. and I was scared to say I was still only 17. He started flirting and sending suggestive pictures of himself. I was in shock. He toyed with me and manipulated me into sending him nudes, which I was totally against. But hey, if your idol wants nudes, you send them. That's what I thought back then. Totally forgetting he was 32 at the time. Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.

At the time the allegations broke, we reached out to Hermida for a statement. He just reached out with the following statement, which the band will be posting to their socials shortly.
