Ryan Adams' album 'pulled from schedule' amid abuse allegations

Ryan Adams has reportedly had his upcoming album pulled amid allegations of emotional abuse and sexual misconduct.

The claims, brought by several women including ex-wife Mandy Moore, were published in a recent New York Times article. Adams and his lawyers have denied the claims.

Reports by Variety claims that Adams’ album has been “put on hold” and that retailers were “notified on Thursday night” that the record had been “pulled”.

Adams’ album had been slated for release in April by Universal Music Group.

The publication also claims that Adams, 44, has had three companies, all producing music equipment, sever ties with him amid the allegations.

A representative for Benson, which sells amplifiers, said in a statement: “We are saddened and surprised by the recent allegations against Mr. Ryan Adams as documented in the New York Times.

“We have decided to suspend our relationship with Mr. Adams at this moment, and will no longer move forward with the development of the Ryan Adams signature model. We have no further comment at this time.”

Standard Online has contacted representatives for Adams and Universal Music for comment.

Earlier this week, it was claimed that Adams had offered to help young women with their music careers but then turned things sexual, and sometimes became emotional and verbally abusive.

Actress and singer Moore, who married Adams in 2009, claimed he was psychologically abusive towards her throughout their marriage. Their divorce was official in 2016.

Adams, who has released 16 albums and won seven Grammy nominations, admitted he was “not a perfect man” but denied the allegations as “extremely serious and outlandish accusations”.

In a tweet, he added: “I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes. To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentionally, I apologise deeply and unreservedly.

“But the picture that this article paints is upsettingly inaccurate. Some of its details are misrepresented; some are exaggerated; some are outright false. I would never have inappropriate interactions with someone I thought was underage.”

Andrew Brettler, an attorney for Adams, told the newspaper that the singer “unequivocally denies that he ever engaged in inappropriate online sexual communications with someone he knew was underage.”
