As of the Times printing, no authorities had contacted Adams, but it has recently been leaked that the FBI are beginning to pursue potential charges against Adams. No firm reports have surfaced, but officers believe that the FBI may be attempting to track down all of Adams’ communications with the girl in order to check them for any wrongdoing.
The FBI’s New York branch is currently investigating whether there will be criminal charges against Adams. The evidence has been damning, and it seems highly unlikely that seven different women would fabricate this story against him at the same time.
In today’s age of MeToo, it has been startling to observe the number of cultural icons and heroes who have been brought down by their unruly passions and libidos. Ryan Adams will certainly not be the last one to have his past sins rise to the surface. These accusations of emotional abuse and sexual conduct are startling, but they are indicative of a culture in which power is wielded against the weak. We can only hope that his rapid downfall will convince other stars to use their influence for good rather than for manipulative purposes.
