Capsize cancel tour over sexual misconduct allegations

Southern California post-hardcore band Capsize have canceled their upcoming tour following allegations of sexual misconduct levied at guitarist Nick Lopez, who has been removed from the group. Capsize had the following to say:
"We are aware of the accusation surfaced last night about the band. The member that has been called out has been removed from our line up. That being said, we are going to take some time to regroup and figure out how to move forward. Our upcoming tour is canceled. We hope everyone finds their own peace."
Meanwhile, Lopez issued his own statement:
"Last year, I had what I thought at the time was a consensual interaction with a woman, until I heard last night that she felt I had pressured her into sex. At first, I feld confused, because every interaction we had after the fact felt normal. After processing for a moment, I understand that it is not my place to judge whether or not she felt pressured, and if there is any doubt in her mind then I must taker her at her word. "At this time, I feel that I need to reevaluate what I know about communication and consent, and I should not have a platform to perform music professionally. I'm so sorry for the pain I caused, and I know that I am not the victim here. There is no good way to apologize, but my regret is deep and real and I hope this is a learning moment for me. "Believe survivors."
UPDATE: More accusations against Capsize have surfaced and the band have now shut down and/or deleted their social media accounts.

Sex education class in five years is just going to be about knowing what forms you and your potential partner need to sign to provide legal consent and how to go about getting the forms notarized. If you get to the actual sex part, you'll figure it out - people have been doing it since people.

Such a pathetic response. So basically, women are going to ruin music because of their need to fck band members

anonymous 2/22/2019 11:51:15 AM

Bitch is lying. We all know how these stories turn out. NEXT

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:10:22 PM

She slept with him multiple times, but only was offended the first time? What the fck! Pretty soon all men are just not going to bother anymore because women like to cry abuse because it's COOL to be a victim and accuser in this f'd up times!

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:39:01 PM

Robert Kraft will be replacing him.

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:43:40 PM

Sex is abuse no matter what.

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:45:04 PM

That might be the most pathetic thing I've ever heard anyone say ever. Enjoy living in a culture where consent can be revoked retroactively you loser simp.

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:49:12 PM

This is why you do anonymous tinder hookups and use a fake name

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:52:06 PM

If you didn't abuse her, don't back down and let her accusations become truth because you don't have a spine.

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:52:24 PM

In the future, population will drop because men will just fck big plastic dolls that look like women.

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:53:36 PM

this "I felt pressured" bullshit is just that.....bullshit. If you felt pressured, USE YOUR WORDS and make it known. say NO and or STOP. Dudes aren't mind readers.

anonymous 2/22/2019 12:54:36 PM

I definitely trust white people less after this.

anonymous 2/22/2019 3:08:44 PM

"can we cancel As I Lay Dying's tour over murder for hire attempt?" No, this is now ok. Previously consensual sex however, is not. Welcome to 2019.

Black rappers do this all the time... nothing happens because ((((they)))) want them to do it... but a metal band?? Psssh that's white mans music... with the way the world is going - you will get accused of stealing something immediately after you just purchased it. We seriously are living in the end of times

feld-man

anonymous 2/23/2019 3:54:41 AM

fck that. This shit is getting ridiculous! The fact a chick regrets fcking a dude after the fact is not abuse. Girls needs to take a class on sexual misconduct and learn the difference between consensual and nonconsensual.

anonymous 2/23/2019 4:06:31 AM

Castrate the b!tch.
