Conor Oberst, noto ai più grazie alla fortunatissima esperienza coi Bright Eyes, è stato recentemente accusato di stupro.
Tutto è successo online: il portale xojane.com ha pubblicato una banalotta storia d’amore tra una rockstar e una ragazza qualunque.
Nei commenti, però, la sorpresa:

I was raped by a ’rock star’ myself. I was 16 years old, he was in his 20s. No one believed me (he wasn’t even that famous then). No one believed me because I had been his biggest fan for several years at that point, his pictures covered my locker, etc. I guess when I made the accusation, everyone thought it was some sick & twisted way to get… I don’t know, closer to him?

La ragazza (anonima) ha poi rivelato l’identità del cantante in questione: Conor Oberst, appunto.

La risposta dall’entourage di Conor non si è fatta attendere:

Usually we wouldn’t feel the urge to comment on spurious blog chatter but the recent allegations made about Conor Oberst by an anonymous commenter on the xoJane website are flagrant enough to demand our response. This individual’s accusations are absolutely, unequivocally false. Unfortunately, the internet allows for groundless statements like this to travel the world before the truth has any time to surface. This is a particularly serious and sickening allegation and there is no truth to it. Conor has nothing but abhorrence for the perpetrators of such crimes of sexual violence. The behavior attributed to him by this individual is in direct opposition to his principles. Conor is consulting with a libel attorney regarding this matter.

Naturalmente, come i colleghi di Stereogum, noi non esprimiamo alcun giudizio: speriamo solo la vicenda si concluda il più positivamente possibile.
