[@johnpickens7626]

I grew up watching much older and scummier guys in bands creep on my then underage female friends. Some of them have never really recovered from being groomed, exposed, and abused. Maybe it's suspicious to you that people would be so quick to attack this guy, but why are you other commenters so quick to defend him? It doesn't take a jury to make someone a scumbag. Also, I totally get it. Me and most of my friends in high school were "rejects" in some way shape or form and our parents were total garbage so we basically made our own laws and ways of living so back then this grooming behavior felt more acceptable because we were young and wanted to mature and rebel. Even the older scumbags creeping on the people my age were very emotionally stunted and it makes sense that they would gravitate toward people closer to their own emotional age, but little to nothing will ever undo the damage that was done because of it. He was 25 and she was 15 and that's all you need to know. It's over and instead of arguing over this douchebag we should be watching out for our peers and loved ones and even the ones we don't love so much so that they aren't preyed upon by delusional man children because this is happening everyday all around you and hardly anyone cares. MeToo is the tip of the iceberg. We have not even scratched the surface and with the direction the world is heading I'm not sure we ever will, so go ahead and mourn the innocence of your future siblings, children, and significant others because it's just going to keep happening. It's not hard to believe someone who needs help. Even if you don't believe them, it's not your job to evaluate how true they are, it's your responsibility to try to help make them safer and to trust them because they are a goddamn child and they deserve patience. You can believe someone and help protect them without deeming another person unforgivably irredeemable as judge jury and executioner. It's up to those two to decide who to forgive and when to move forward and how to heal, and there's nothing wrong with saying that something scummy is scummy. We can all do better.

@@AGILISFPV part of Alice's "abuse" evidence was that Ethan threw her phone out the window. She hasn't been through real abuse . So her abuse allegations was baseless BS . she had to paint the whole thing with broad strokes so that her subjective experience of "emotional abuse" would equal actual physical abuse. Everyone who's in a relationship could claim "emotional abuse" because its subjective - and you have to actually be in that relationship to really know the details of why someone feels that way..and alot of times its a misunderstanding. And we've only heard her side and he denies it. so its a one sided accusation .and basic people like you just go along with the herd. She used the court of public opinion to convict him- . ... She went crazy bitter ex in a political climate that was slanted in her favor automatically. this is a quote from Alice's sister who was around them throughout the years and knew more about the situation than any of us.

Young people lack experience, which is why they do not have good discernment when it comes to making life choices; which art to consume, which clothes to wear, which friends to keep, what foods to eat etc. Part of growing up is learning to choose what is actually good for you in the long run. Unfortunately by the time you’ve figured it out you’re old, and the next generation isn’t interested in what you’re trying to say.

[@perpetualplatypussy69]

He's a massive knob. Also, people throw around the word "genius" far too liberally. He's talented for sure

[@za.307]

"Musical genuis"... are you listening to yourself. Nobody with any moral compass should be uttering even that sentiment. It pales into insignificance with the abuse he unleashed. Besides I'm not a fan of any pedophile. No matter how good they are at music. Glass was 15 when she was groomed,supplied with drugs,and abused. Let that sink in bro.

At 229, she reacts when Ethan says she can do whatever she wants with the lyrics.

[@Judge_Jury_Executioner-tr4gx]

It makes me feel ill, watching this while knowing that he was abusing her behind closed doors. She was probably exhausted constantly from the strain of squeezing every last morsel of strength in order to look regular in front of the cameras and PR events. Then I realize that OH--right--there is a happy ending to her nightmare! XD Behold.. the birth of the "me.too Movement"😶‍🌫

[@Edwiness]

Its interesting seeing this video after what Alice has said on twitter with the release of her solo work. Look at the utter disdain on his face at 1:34 for instance...

[@prestond4065]

Edwiness This interview was released in 2011, though

[@theaterobscura]

Preston D No, this is from 2008, promoting their first album.

[@Edwiness]

Everything she said in the statement points to it being Ethan.

[@Edwiness]

She said in her I-D interview that she was 16 when she joined Crystal Castles. She also retweeted a pitchfork article that linked Ethan to the abuse pretty damningly. She also basically "affirmed her abilities" (which she urged young people to do when in an absuve relationship in her tweet) when Ethan undermined her contribution to CC. There are also many smaller things which lead me to be pretty certain the abuse was from Ethan.

[@Edwiness]

Show proof of the interview, and photographic proof of the passport. The latter seems dubious, how would someone get hold of a scan of her passport? In her statement about leaving CC, she said it was a combination of professional and personal reasons. "Artistic differences" falls under the banner of a professional reason. I don't see how she contradicts herself at all.

[@discotiq]

People on this comment section keep trying to fish abusive behaviour from Ethan in this video, but the thing is Alice stated he was good in keeping those things private. I mean, if none of that had happened you'd never point theses things out just from what you see here, and just because there's no evidence found in an interview filmed in a studio doesn't mean you should believe her less. I just... find it weird that people think this short clip could tell much? Her discomfort is quite noticeable though.

[@marinamansfield5872]

i mean , i think thats how things usually happen, for example when you are in a toxic relationship and you dont see all of the red flags until you look back on it , and then all of the details seem to surface. i think thats the scary part about this. she was emotionally abused and you wouldnt be able to pick that up unless you looked at the details, this is simply my opinion though 🤷‍♀️

[@smsmsmsmsmsm]

Exactly, I know that’s Alice’s abuse was lengthy and intense and I wish she received all the royalties for their music, but I also find it weird people are trying to psycho analyse every action in this brief interview so much.

[@jamesmcbride7621]

Crystal Castles released the equivalent of Nirvana’s Incesticide as their first album

[@bowi1332]

What a mess. :( :( I love their music, but the story of this band is sad.

[@sueykwan2455]

Ethan Kath is talented but if he also needs Alice's talent to be successful then they are more/less equal partners. If he treated her with respect and paid her fairly the whole mess wouldn't have happened and the legend would go on no matter how they met. Sadly he chose violence & denial... in order to control her like slave *Edit: If you're a decent human being, please admit the wrongdoings, apologize & put her on fair royalties. Any creative disagreement a decent human being can discuss professionally. I'd like to see Ethan Kath a new decent man
