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.

Adams is an Americana/alt country artist who first achieved fame with his band Whiskeytown before going solo.
LOL!
Save those cautions when its a leftist accused. Spread rumors, exaggerate, speak as if you saw video of an assault.
Piety in war is misguided and worthless.
Join the side youre on.
Ugly as sin.
We need you over on Twitter. :-)
Some Top 40 dickweed- returning to oblivion by way of judicial recourse, and payouts to his victims. If you dont want to get bitten bigly by the Trump curse, you need to be nice and STFU

I have joined the side I’m on - the side of straight men.
The Left plays a long, long game. If they can establish the precedent that they can bring down any straight male with a litany of unsubstantiated allegations from a pack of women, and that they don’t even need to have anyone risk a perjury charge for a false claim, two things will happen:
1) This will continue to escalate. Look up the ongoing Vic Mignogna saga.
2) The primary targets will be straight, white, conservative males. The Left will stop going after the leftist ones the moment the tactic is validated. The ones they are sacrificing now in service of this long game are of no importance to them.
Damn I'm telling you all again, this MeToo is a gift.

Embrace #MeToo, repeat #MeToo on your social media outlets. Come down HARD on these Leftists because this isn't over by a long shot -- just look at Virginia Lt. Gov. Frankenfax, AND NOW LEFTIST MEDIA DARLING RYAN ADAMS AND HIS EIGHT CRAZY RAMBLING ARMS"
Most of the charges made appear to have been real and most of those charged have been liberals.
Maybe there is somebody out there who's thinking of this as long-range plot to take down Trump, but it's not working and most of the women making the charges don't seem to be part of a plot.
Our side has to stop using THEIR tactics. It only gives their side legitimacy.
If we demand 'they get rid of their sexual abuser' or 'they get rid of their racist' we're only giving them power by agreeing their political stands are correct.
As much as many people didn't like Trent Lott and were happy to use trumped-up charges of racism to get rid of him it only gave the left more power to use the charge of 'racism' to get rid of people they don't like.
So many Trump bashing celebs are the biggest hypocrites on Earth.
The charges against Farifax look to be every bit a fraud as the ones against Kavanaugh.
The thing Al Franken was dunned into bowing out of a Senate seat for was just plain stupid, an obvious joke, perfectly in line with the crass humor he was well known for since his days on SNL.
Don’t underestimate the enemy’s willingness to sacrifice their own to gain power. These are people who celebrate the passage of a law legalizing infanticide as if it is some great achievement in the history of human rights. If they’re happy to kill even newborns as a means to power, there is no limit to how craven they will be in other areas.
Note they STILL have not acknowledged or confronted the Clinton rape spree even after going after all these other people. It’s not justice they are pursuing here. It’s power - power over you. Don’t help them by empowering their tactics.
This could make for a good Simpson episode starring Bryan Adams.
I’m pleased to say I never heard of him.....the most hurtful thing you can say to or about a celebritard.....
Darn it, now I have to melt down my Whiskeytown CDs.
Whiskeytown reminded me of Uncle Tupelo and Jayhawks. They were ok, I suppose.
Turnpike Troubadors, now that is Americana Rock.
Would that be like Jeff Bozos?
