The Word Alive comment on Zack Hansen's dismissal after allegations of domestic abuse surface

Zack Hansen

Wolfe Ellot

Yesterday it was reported that The Word Alive guitarist Zack Hansen stepped away from the band, and now, the band has commented on the matter.

Today, May 31st, the band shared:

As soon as we were made aware of the situation directed towards our guitarist, Zack, we immediately asked him to step away from the band. We do not condone any domestic abuse whatsoever.

On May 28th, multiple videos were shared on X/Twitter by Hansen's partner.

Those videos could not be embedded but initially appeared here. She has since made her account private, though replies to the videos can still be seen. Below is a screenshot from one of the videos where Hansen appears to spit in her face. 

In subsequent posts, she commented:

I'm very well aware that I may not have handled his abuse in the best way in the past but I'm sick of protecting someone who drove me to react. I have never put a hand on him that wasn't in defense of myself.

Also there's no such thing as being a completely neutral party in this situation, lol either you support an abuser, or you don't. Bye !!

anyone who thinks this is easy for me is so sorely mistaken. I loved that man with my whole heart and this is the hardest thing I've ever had to come to terms with

In the videos, the two can be seen arguing as Hansen attempts to leave, and in one video he finds the Blink camera on a table and says into it, "I f*cking hate you", before disabling it. 

If you or someone you know is dealing with domestic abuse, help is available. Contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or visit The Hotline.

these fail in comparison to the abuse he put her thru by making her listen to their records.

This is so insanely hypocritical coming from a band that has 15 years of lyrics saying "don't f*ck with family" Wild, it's like they haven't been good since their synth player dusty left

"who drove me to react" Sounds like she's good at avoiding accountability.

I saw Rick in Walmart the other day wearing a headband, sunglasses, and a greasy gray T-shirt with a cat also wearing sunglasses on it, and the T-shirt said "I do what I want" and Rick was yelling at a customer for buying the last box of Kleenex with lotion, rumor has it the lotion is for his mustache, anyway the spat ended with Rick flipping off the customer as he said "I don't need this, I have an entire herd of people on lambgoat who will literally write about this moment in my shoutbox and you'll be so humiliated." He swaggered off to the self-checkouts and bought himself some Nachos and a silver ice Rockstar energy drink. It was the last time I'd ever seen him.

Zack was best friends with his band for years, they were like family, but had to be cancelled immediately, like a stranger, because they are not holy enough to stand up to wokeness. Now they are Unwholly.

Bet she takes great pride in lying in bed all day curled up with 3 stinking dogs, and heating turned up full.

I've met and hung out with this guy we had a good mutual friend so he can have fun trying to figure out who this is. All I can say is if you are a man and stay in a relationship where you can control yourself, you are woman-ish in nature. A grown man should not be having tantrums like this. You are going to have a hard shitty life now.

anonymous 316 days ago

As much as I can't stand Black Veil Brides their frontman got it right when dealing with a psychotic wife. He sat there and tanked every hit, completely stonefaced, on camera. And nobody f*cked with him. Unfortunately thats the reality of being in a band with any notoriety whatsoever if you don't wanna be cancelled.

Social media is the real problem here

anonymous 315 days ago

People are so incapable of being in relationships and its gross. If you fight so much why bother? Just be single or find someone you dont fight with. People are so scared of being alone which is bitch made to begin with. If you cant be alone you cant be with anyone! Or be gay

anonymous 315 days ago

maybe if she tidied up every once and a while...
