Wavves’ Nathan Williams Responds To Allegations Surrounding Say Anything’s Max Bemis Ahead Of Collaborative Album: “I Don’t Want To Be Associated With The Guy”

According to Consequence.netWavves has ditches heir forthcoming collaborative album, with Say Anything following allegations involving frontman Max Bemis, with Wavves frontman Nathan Williams  by saying he no longer wants to be associated with the musician. The decision leaves Williams in pretty tight spot. Although Cherry Soda was billed as a full collaboration between Wavves and Say Anything, Williams now says he spent 11 months making the record while Bemis spent just a few days in the studio. “I made it by myself,” Williams wrote in messages shared with fans on Patreon (via Paste). “It’s in all ways just a wavves record.”

The fallout follows allegations from multiple young women, who have shared screenshots of alleged purported exchanges with Bemis on Say Anything’s subreddit. A 17-year-old fan said Bemis communicated with her for six months and allegedly knew she was underage, with their conversations eventually touching on alleged sexual subjects. A separate account from a 19-year-old, included alleged screenshots showing Bemis discussing being single and his alleged attraction to younger people after she raised concerns about their age difference. Bemis subsequently called off a run of solo shows, with Say Anything saying he was stepping away “due to the need to prioritize his mental health and personal well-being.” The statement did not address the allegations directly.
