Ryan Adams’ Guitarist Speaks Out Against Musician Amid Abuse Reports ‘Ryan Please Get Help’

Ryan Adams‘ guitarist Todd Wisenbaker is speaking out against after numerous women have come forward accusing Adams of emotional abuse and sexual misconduct. The outcry began last week following a report in The New York Times detailing the claims of seven women, including his former wife Mandy Moore.
In a note shared to Instagram, Wisenbaker stated that he had seen glimpses of Adams’ alleged abusive behavior, only to have it explained away by the alt-rocker with convincing denials.
“There were times when I chose to believe his insane version of the truth because it was easier than believing that anyone is capable of being this much of a monster,” Wisenbaker wrote. “It’s sickening and embarrassing. I’ve recently learned that pretty much everything he’s ever told me is a lie upon a lie upon a lie. There are excuses and denials for everything.”

“This is incredibly hard for me to do but Ryan please get help,” he captioned the note.
