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.

He may be a dickweed, but he is definitely not Top 40. He's alt country.
Who is Ryan Adams?
Originally with Whiskeytown
It wasn’t we with me
Frist was far worse than Lott
And Wilco
“Seven Brides For One Ham,” at a theater near the jail.
Abused by sevenwomen? Could he not escape?Did they drug him and tie him up? Were they wearing leather? Whips and stuff?"
looser than what? Should he have been tightened up?
Nominations aren’t the same as winning.
And there’s this from his Wiki page:
“In 2015, Adams released 1989, a song-for-song cover of Taylor Swift’s album of the same name, and worked on up to eighty songs for an album influenced by his divorce from actress and singer-songwriter Mandy Moore. The release, Prisoner, was announced in late 2016.”
And this:
“Also released in 2003, Adams formed a punk band called The Finger with Jesse Malin, Colin Burns, and Johnny T. Yerington.[1] The name derived from notorious early/mid-1990s Raleigh, North Carolina rock band Finger, of which Adams was a big fan. This light-hearted project allowed both artists to return to their punk backgrounds (Adams began his music career as singer for The Patty Duke Syndrome and Malin began his career in the hardcore punk band Heart Attack and more famously as the lead singer of D Generation). They began by releasing two EPs: We Are F*** You and Punk’s Dead Let’s F*** which were later collected to form the album We Are F*** You that was released in 2003.”
What a class act.
NEVER HEARD of the CREEP!
“Famed singer Ryan Adams”
Never heard of him, or any of his music.
My sisters nickname for him was “the paperboy”’.
I have never heard of him, either.
