Sum 41’s Deryck Whibley made sexual abuse allegations against the band’s former manager, Greig Nori, in his just published memoir, Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven and Hell. Nori responded to those allegations with a statement shared with the Toronto Star that read, “The accusation that I initiated the relationship is false. I did not initiate it. Whibley initiated it, aggressively.” During what he calls “an extremely heavy week,” Whibley shared an emotional Instagram video on Tuesday (October 15) that slams Nori’s statement. “I take no pleasure in coming out with the truth about what happened between me and my ex-manager,” Whibley said. “I stand behind every word that’s in my book. I’m not a liar. Greig Nori, if you think I’m a liar, there’s only one way to settle this. Under oath, in front of a judge, in front of a jury. Anytime you want. I’m ready. Whenever you are.” (Rolling Stone)
