After the allegations came to light, Vann returned to social media to post the below on his Twitter:

“In response to the claims of emotional and sexual abuse: although my behavior has been selfish, childish, and unkind, I have never criminally harmed anyone or disrespected their boundaries. I have never had relations with a minor or violated anybody's consent.”

And the group’s Kevin Abstract addressed the allegations the day before tour began on an Instagram live, where he said: “I don’t agree with anything Ameer has admitted to, and I’ve talked with him about that. He’s been getting help for, like, over the past year,” and announced that the release of their upcoming album ‘Puppy’ is probably going to be delayed - after it was set to be released this June.
