Earlier this 12 months, Mo Troper was accused of abuse by his former romantic associate, Maya Stoner of the band Floating Room, and was dropped by his label, administration, and publicist. After issuing a press release denying the allegations, Troper sued Stoner for defamation, interference with enterprise relationships, intentional infliction of emotional misery, and invasion of privateness. Now, as Stereogum stories, the lawsuit has been settled and Stoner retracted their allegations.
Stoner, who signed an affidavit and agreed to a no-contact order, wrote:
I’m writing a press release with a view to deal with what I’ve mentioned about my former associate and bandmate, Morgan ‘Mo’ Troper. In March of this 12 months, I publicly posted about my expertise within the relationship. I acknowledge that this impacted him and his profession. Whereas there have been some points with our relationship and it was emotionally fraught for each of us at occasions, Mo was not abusive in the direction of me as that time period is legally outlined. I’ll proceed processing different elements of our relationship in non-public. Troper and I’ve signed a mutual no-contact settlement, and I can’t disparage him publicly once more.
Troper commented: “We’ve resolved this matter and hope everybody will transfer ahead from this example.” In a tweet, he added, “I’ll add that I don’t condone harassment of Maya, and request that folks transfer on from this example peacefully. This difficulty has been resolved.”
