I strongly believe in the empowerment of abuse victims, so if I have ever made anyone feel like they are less than equal, I am sincerely sorry. That is not the person I am, how I was raised, or the type of behavior that I condone. I also want to assure you that I have never intentionally manipulated or abused anyone in my life. No one should have to suffer in silence, and I am thankful that the world is finally starting to listen. I have empathy for any human being who has experienced abuse or mistreatment in their lives, and I am inspired to see so many come forward and speak out about it.

They say that they are taking the allegations very serious. As a result, he has now stepped away from the band, with Pierce The Veil also cancelled their upcoming UK tour dates with All Time Low. The anonymous claims were made against Fuentes online, and are said to date back to over a decade ago. Pierce The Veil have issued a statement as drummer Mike Fuentes has parted ways with the band due to allegations of sexual misconduct. ![]()
