Famed singer Ryan Adams has been accused of sexual misconduct and emotional abuse by a slew of woman, including his ex-wife actress Mandy Moore.
At least seven women say that the accomplished American solo singer was abusive, offering mentorship and career opportunities for young aspiring female artists in exchange for sex. When they didn't let him have his way, he allegedly harassed them.
One of the victims claims she was just 14 when the artist sexted her and exposed himself to her via Skype, and said people would compare him R. Kelly if anyone found out about their relationship.
The accounts were published in a bombshell report by the New York Times on Wednesday...
Adams, who has published 16 albums and won 7 Grammy nominations, is famous for supporting young female artists, often sharing their pages and music on social media.
But, according to victims and his co-workers, he appeared to have an ulterior motive with the artists he took under his wing.
'In interviews, seven women and more than a dozen associates described a pattern of manipulative behavior in which Adams dangled career opportunities while simultaneously pursuing female artists for sex,' the report says.

Nice guy! Woman claims Ryan Adams exposed himself to her as teenager
He has to be older than 44 and I thought his name was Bryan.
"...President Trump is an awful person..."
...another one bites....
Bryan Adams is a different singer.
No no not Bryan “Summer of 69” Adams. This is a different looser.
Different guy. Bryan Adams is Canadian, in his 50s, and more accomplished than Ryan.
Never heard of this punk. Just another degenerate.
Different guy.
As soon as I saw the spelling "looser" I checked your sign up date. Another great FReeperism, and yes I'm series.
BBC loves Adams, but can’t see any coverage from them on this news!

2017: Vulture: Ryan Adams Covers Radiohead’s ‘Karma Police’ As a Warning to Trump
By Dee Lockett
Which is why when Adams showed up to BBC Radio 2 over the weekend to sing a couple songs other than his own, it didn’t take him long to decide to cover Radiohead’s comical anti-establishment hit “Karma Police” acoustically as a bit of wishful thinking to send out into the world as it crumbles.
“I don’t know if I’ve learned [the song] in a great new and interesting way, but I also thought it’s fitting, because there’s a pretty awful person who just got elected in the United States. So I don’t know why, but that song popped into my head this morning,” he explained of his song choice on air. A song that describes a man who “talks in maths,” “buzzes like a fridge,” and sounds like a “detuned radio” who should be arrested — nope, we can’t see why that would come to mind either...

Cuts like a knife.
‘Run To You.’ (Yes, it’s a cheatin’ song!)
Play it as loud as you can and drive your car fast, windows down. Sing along. Good Times. :)

Proud to say I’ve never heard of him. MAGA! :)
Never, ever heard of him... Sounds like he would be a shoe-in to get elected by the demoncrats to almost any position...
Famed?
Sez who? Is this really a well-known person?
The more times I’ve never heard of someone, the better I feel about not missing anything.
I love it when threads get hijacked and turn into Music Threads! :)

“...Took it all for granted, but how was I to know...that you’d be letting go...?” ;)
We are being systematically baited into a massive strategic error of agreeing that claims from packs of women are automatically true.
In this particular case they may or may not be true. But you should believe nothing, especially from sources like the New York Times, without hard HARD evidence.
In the entire length of the NYT article not one piece of hard evidence is presented, even though the article relies on that evidence existing (e.g. Skype chat logs, text logs).
Be VERY VERY wary of any claim that does not come with a police report, or some other risk-of-perjury level commitment to the claim.
