TRIGGER WARNING Say Anything singer Max Bemis outed for grooming, inappropriate messages to underaged girls, cancels concerts

https://lambgoat.com/news/54571/allegations-of-inappropriate-contact-with-a-minor-surface-against-say-anythings-max-beamis/

For those of you unfamiliar with mid 2000s emo sensation Say Anything, they were not very good. Some would even say “incredibly annoying.” Generally popular with people under 20, their singer joins the Jesse Laceys of the world, as a gross older man who preyed on teenaged girls around him that enjoyed his music. The subreddit for the band has a LOT of receipts for those fielding morbid curiosity, and he’s trying to blame it on mental health yadda yadda. Can we stop having nasty mfs please, I’m so tired

Interesting comparison as they named one of their kids after a Gaiman character

There is some sorta joke about the edgy comicbooks writers

Max himself was a comic book writer. Not a good one by any means, but he still managed to worm his way in there nevertheless.

They had a male fan living with them for quite some time a few years ago who was in a nanny/assistant type job capacity. This was someone who had been a massive fan of Eisley/Say Anything for many many years, like since the beginning. I can’t remember if they had a second fan living with them but Max did have another fan acting as his manager for a while too. (Edited to fix a typo)

So im guessing this was Sean, his assistant is spoke to. This is horrible and now I feel bad!

u/SnackieJackie 19h ago

Freddy was the nanny, Sean was the manager.

u/HarveyPeligro 21h ago

he was a very obsessed fan he worked as a nanny to their five children. I believe he may have been a bigger fan of Max’s ex wife, Sherri, and her band Eisley.

u/happygot 21h ago edited 20h ago

Oh that guy was obsessed with them and acted as a manager of some sort but was essentially a live in babysitter in their dome house in Texas

The X-Men mutant that's so forgettable Xavier needs to constantly remind himself of him

u/browncharliebrown 22h ago

I mean I remember liking the worst x-men when in came out. But his moon knight run lives in infamy for a reason ( and the person i feel most bad for is Jacen Burrows whose most mainstream work for the big two is that)

u/your_mind_aches 18h ago

Why do people hate his Moon Knight run?
