Former PVRIS guitarist Alex Babinski, who was dismissed from the Lynn Gunn-led alternative band in 2020 after accusations of sexual misconduct emerged against him, now says his name has been cleared.
This week, Babinski shared an image of document containing a retraction statement from his accuser, and he said the lawsuit has been resolved.
Babinski was removed from PVRIS in August 2020 after the allegations first came to light, though he said then that he was determined to prove his innocence. The band, then a trio with Gunn, Babinski and bassist Brian MacDonald, were cut down to just a duo.
“I wanted to give you all an update on what’s been going on with me,” Babinski says in a new post on X. “In June 2020, accusations against me were posted online by Kea Romani which led to me being removed from the successful band I was in.”
He continues, “I have since spent the last 3.5 years in a lawsuit against Kea Romani to clear my name and prove my innocence. During that time, I have been forced to publicly defend myself on many occasions. I have lost my career, had my name slandered beyond repair, lost many friends and suffered damage to my mental health that I will never recover from.”
