the problem with brockhampton [thread]
i promised myself i wouldn’t tweet about this group again because i really don’t give a shit about them anymore but i think with everything happening rn it’s a good time to comment
i’ll start with kevin. he’s been accused time and time again of predatory behavior involving underage fans which were never denied or discussed by the man himself. when they were brought back to light by a hacked account this summer, the group took down the account and thread.
people are gonna say this is a joke taken too seriously because of kevin’s twitter exchanges with rich brian. that’s not the case so don’t even try it.
there are more mentions of this dating back to 2017 if you search twitter for “kevin abstract predator” and similar words, but here’s a more recent one. kevin would’ve been 23 last year https://twitter.com/arealogin/status/1205932770977091584">https://twitter.com/arealogin...
i tried to dm him multiple times over twitter (we were mutuals and he had dmed me before) and instagram(we had dms on there before as well) and i believe some of my friends did as well, which were not answered.
ameer was “kicked out” in 2018 over allegations of abuse. watching their sob story of a documentary, they explicitly mention that ameer left on his own will after an argument on the bus. here’s a recording of the doc which was leaked by a fan on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Ameer/comments/biirqp/the_longest_summer_in_america_google_drive/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf">https://www.reddit.com/r/Ameer/c...
the group has since attempted to resume their image as a “woke” boyband, but are mentioned in this video by ameer himself as still being in contact with him, contradicting what the documentary claims about their relationship with the terminated member. https://twitter.com/chIoecherrie/status/1205917519359270913/video/1">https://twitter.com/chIoecher...
kevin’s sister also mentioned some time this/last year that they were still in contact on her instagram. these were shed light on by the milocinema account and were shot down at the time by fans.
ameer was also in attendance of the group’s concert last night and was allegedly going backstage. https://twitter.com/SUGARClNEMA/status/1205895137529913345">https://twitter.com/SUGARClNE...

this is so directly contradictory of their statement and the image they try to keep up of being a safe space for lgbtq youth and youth of color and supposed intolerance of abuse.
jon nunes (the group’s manager) was quick to jump to ameer’s defense, and in the video above ameer states that they still regularly text each other. here’s jon’s twitter rant from may of last year
if you need to jog your memory, here’s an article from when the ameer allegations came out https://pitchfork.com/news/two-women-detail-abuse-allegations-against-ex-brockhampton-member-ameer-vann/amp/">https://pitchfork.com/news/two-...
stans are still making jokes about matt’s ex gf (who he ghosted after getting pregnant) and attacked ameer’s ex(es) who posted their stories at the time.
this group harbors abusers and has their fan base trained to attack like dogs when someone speaks out against them, and that is why these people who have allegations haven’t come out publicly with their own stories. stans did it to ameer’s ex and i’m sure they would do it again.
people have also sent me and my friends anonymous death threats for trying to shed light on the kevin allegations earlier this year. these friends (as well as myself) were former fans of the band and kevin’s solo work as well.
i’m sure the little brockhamptonaters will come for me because of this, but it’s important to me that we start the conversation again.
interpret this thread how you will, but i cant bring myself to support these creeps or even stomach listening to their music at all anymore. to jump at denying these is immoral and you (as fans) should ask that the group addresses it.
i’ll be waiting. @brckhmptn @kevinabstract @jonnunes @merlynwood @dommclennon @mattchampion @jobaisreal @bearfaceington
here’s some things i forgot to mention!!! romil asked ameer’s victims not to say anything when the allegations were coming out, and also unfollowed them.
nick holiday dated a minor and the group was complicit. i don’t really remember the details but this story is everywhere if you want to read more into it. here’s screenshots from her twitter (censored to protect her identity)
when asked about the ameer allegations, merlyn replied “but he apologized”
