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.

Yes, they share the same birthday.
And he's desperately reminding everyone of this as the news of Ryan's exploits have hit the interwebz.
And who releases about 27 albums each year, some of which, if you dig deep enough, contain absolutely gems of brilliance.
Wait until #ReleaseYourTaxRetuns is applied to all politicians.
President Trump's will be clean as a whistle while Democrat after Democrat is exposed as a tax cheating scumbag.
Did he pee on her? If not, we can just compare him to Jimmy Page, Ted Nugent, Elvis...
"Ugly man uses status as rock star to bang hot chicks. News at 11."
I've decided I don't care.
If I had to melt down CDs for every rock star I like that hates Trump, I'd be left with Ted Nugent.
If I had to melt down CDs for every rock star that screwed around with underage groupies, the then Nugent CDs would have to go as well.
I'll continue to enjoy Ryan Adams, particularly the awesome work he did with his band, The Cardinals.
Sadly for Adams, it ain't 1977 anymore and he's not Pete Townshend. There's no road to redemption for him. He's finished.
Not likely.......LOL.
