Evan Dando Allegedly Sends Unwanted Explicit Videos, Claims Lemonheads’ Fan
In a troubling incident, a fan of the alternative rock band The Lemonheads, identified as Dawn, has accused lead singer Evan Dando of sending her unsolicited explicit videos via social media platform X. This revelation first emerged from a report by Tony Ortega on his blog, The Underground Bunker. The blog is known for its focus on matters involving Scientology, but this story highlights serious allegations of sexual misconduct.
Evan Dando’s Response and Background
In light of these allegations, Dando’s representative released a statement addressing the singer’s mental health struggles. According to the statement, Dando has faced mental health issues since childhood and is currently receiving treatment at a local hospital from experienced professionals.
Details of the Allegations
Dawn, who communicated with Dando about art in the past, shared her account of the interactions. After congratulating the band on their October release of the single “Love Chant,” she received a response from Dando on February 4. His message included an apology for being “an exhibitionist.”
The situation escalated quickly. The following morning, Dawn reported receiving explicit messages from Dando, including a video that was troubling in nature. In the video, Dando was allegedly seen engaged in a sexual act, with his identity reportedly clear. Dawn stated, “It’s definitely him. He’s filming it from a weird angle.”
Additionally, the interactions included another explicit video, followed by a message from Dando that read, “Ok sorry thanks I just need an outlet Cheers.” This remark particularly upset Dawn, who expressed her frustration, stating, “Don’t call me an outlet, that’s gross.”
Previous Acknowledgments of Struggles
