Rammstein accused of sexual harassment

[HiddenWeirdo 4,268]

A woman from Northern Ireland has told the BBC she was recruited and "groomed" for sex with the lead singer of the German heavy metal band Rammstein.

Shelby Lynn, who also claims her drink was spiked at a concert in Vilnius in May, first made the claims on social media.

Her allegations triggered a wave of other sexual misconduct allegations against the band's frontman Till Lindemann.

The most disgusting part:  

Behind the experiences of those affected could be a downright system that first lures young female fans with seats in the so-called "Row Zero" directly in front of the stage, then invites them to an after-show party and finally "feeds" them to Lindemann.

The band have denied the claims.

Before and after the concert some fans criticized the alleged victims: What was being written was media hype. Saying that the women wanted to become famous with accusations against the band. And the fact that female fans were invited to private parties with stars had always existed.

Activists started demonstrating before the start of the concert in front of the Olympic Stadium in Munich.

But it shouldn't be common. It's disgusting and sad that there's even a system behind.

I hate the way people always immediately try to make it out like the victims are gaining any positive attention or fame from this. As if. All you usually get for speaking out against harassment is more of it. 

They've gotten lawyers who have released a press statement today announcing they'll be taking legal action against each allegation.

That's why it is good that media and activists draw attention to it!

I mean the whole thing with the casting of fans in row zero then the most probable roofing of those poor girls is so disturbing. The fact he's even hiding in plain sight in pørn video and poems about his disgusting acts is already unacceptable. Nasty and hideous.

If all this proves to be true, the band must have known that their leader is such a sicko...
