Sigur Ros drummer accused of sexual assault

2018-10-01 by Toondude | 253 Comments
Orri Páll Dýrason, drummer for the Icelandic post-rock band Sigur Ros has been accused of sexual assault. The accuser, an Instagram artist named Meagan Boyd, claims that Orri assaulted her while the two spent the night together back in 2013, and that she felt inspired to tell her story as a part of the #MeToo movement following the recent allegations against U.S. Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

Orri has denied the accusation, claiming that Boyd drove him home after a night of drinking, later saying "I cannot understand why you would want to publicly accuse me of something I did not do."

As a result of these accusations, Orri has now officially resigned from Sigur Ros, with the band later making a statement on social media:

In the wake of the extremely serious and personal allegations made against him in recent days we have today accepted the resignation of our bandmate Orri Páll Dyrason to allow him to deal with this privately. Jónsi & Georg

http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2018/09/drummer-of-sigur-ros-accused-of-sexual-assault.html

UPDATE: Orri has now officially released a statement on the issue at hand:

I begin with thanking my friends and relatives for the support you have shown. It is good for me feel for your trust, despite the serious public allegations against me.

This matter has undeniably taken its toll on me for the past few days. Justifiably, some will say, and I do not intend to argue with those people. However, I sincerely ask the same people to steer their anger into the right path and abstain from dragging my family, and especially my wife, into this matter. At the same time, I ask people to stay calm and not to be divided into two battling armies, these are not court proceedings, just Meagan’s words against mine, on the internet. Loud and provocative words are in nobody's favour – neither to me or her.

In light of the scale of this matter, I have decided to leave Sigur Rós. That is a difficult decision for me, but I cannot have these serious allegations influence the band and the important and beautiful work that has been done there for the last years. A job that is so dear to me.

I will do anything in my power to get myself out of this nightmare, but out of respect for those actually suffering from sexual violence, I will not take that fight public.

Love
Orri

In January of 2013 I was sexually assaulted by a member of the band @sigurros when they were in Los Angeles recording an album that was set to come out later that same year. My assailant's name is Orri Páll Dýrason. I never reported it. I never expressed my pain publicly. I harbored this ache now for almost 6 years... for many reasons. I felt no one would believe me, I felt I had been irresponsible for trusting him just because he was in a band I loved and I respected him as an artist. I was drunk, and I had met him at a club (I had a brief period in which I was a dancer at a club called “the body shop”), I also engaged in a kiss with him before falling asleep in the same bed, after that I completely knocked out. I woke up with the feeling of being penetrated without my consent during a deep slumber.. it happened twice that night, and I wondered myself why I didn’t leave after the first time- but I was drunk, dead tired, in shock, and this was right before I ever heard of anything like Uber/lyft ... but none of that should matter because no one deserves to be raped/touched/licked/fucked without CONSENT. (((My heart is racing and I’m shaking just typing this.))) I wasn't ready to go public in the midst of the hype of the #metoo movement because just speaking about it gives me intense anxiety and I was about to give birth to my first child. In the wake of the news of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford calling out Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, I was triggered to speak out myself. Ironically, he’s now engaged to feminist activist who is also the founder of the Icelandic Slut walk (go figure...) And if I hear another damn Sigur Ros song during a yoga class ever again I’m gonna scream. Those songs I once found deliciously calming, beautiful and serene now leave a disgusting taste in my mouth. #endrapeculture

Wow, well this would be a massive disappointment if true, but considering he's now quit the band off the back of the accusations it would also be disappointing if it wasn't. Can't win either way here being a fan.

Hopefully the truth prevails in the end & until then we don't know anything.

Huh. Well, he should only be judged following a thorough criminal investigation, after which his guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I believe science and criminal justice and truth, and not post-coital regret and subsequent mental escalation of a non-event, and I hope this isn't the latter.

Can't we all just wait and see on this? Right now, no evidence has been presented, so we can't condemn the drummer, but an investigation hasn't been done, so it's not time to give him an acquittal.

That said, this supposed incident was 5 years ago, so the likelihood of any charges even being pressed in the first place are low, regardless of whether he's innocent or not. Don't expect this accusation to truly lead to a conviction.

'Consent has to be explicit, someone passing out in bed is not a green light to have sex with them.' (2)

Agreed, that's a disturbing mentality tbh. I've slept next to someone many a time after a few drinks & even on those occasions where kissing & suggestive foreplay was present whilst we were both fully conscious, not once have I attempted to have sex with them after they had passed out. It isn't a difficult concept to get your head around.

If they can't willingly engage in the moment then any previous 'interactions' are null & void, it doesn't give you a free pass to do whatever you please.

"amazing in 2018 you can ruin someone's entire career without a shred of evidence"

There are already plenty of cases in 2017, you may take a look in the most viewed news about one of such cases in this website. That case is not one's entire career, but the whole band, although the accused one (I guess EVERYONE knows who he is, so I am not going to say it on this post) admitted it in a blanket comment in Facebook.

To be fucking honest, I am sick and tired of hearing accusations from a woman to a man for sexually assaulting her. Like kalkwiese said, I really hope that it is simply nothing, but if it is true, I guess we should accept the horrible fact, right?

Yes, it is important for the society to prevent sexual assault, especially in the entertainment industry. But, what if the #MeToo movement was also used as a weapon to those who had conflict with and an express ticket to fame? Again, there is no evidence. I hope truth really prevails though, even though the chance of conviction or even pressing charges is thin as a piece of paper.

That said, I agree that "someone passing out in bed is not a green light to have sex with them". That is basically rape if you had sex with someone who is falling asleep, as you have sex with them without their permission/consent.

One of my mates had a girlfriend who wanted to be shagged while on GHB. Since he liked the idea also they tried it out. He later told me that it was quite boring and her girlfriend doesn't really remember it so both were kind of "meh"

When will people finally realise that binge drinking and sex seriously don't mix, given that substance abuse is almost always the common denominator in every one of these cases, and it complicates the notion of sexual consent to an extreme. Even if someone can consent in an inebriated state, it's just not worth the risk of potentially ruining one's life along with the other's.

The danger of making allegations not directly after the fact, but when time has been allowed to play -or not play- tricks on the mind. There's no way to tell now, so you should have the decency to hold your tongue on a public forum when you know the very allegation is already a sentence.

I can't say whether or not this really happened, but Orri is handling it very respectfully. His statement only hints at denial, not any sort of aggressive "You liar! I don't know you!" kind of thing. That's cool.

But..."@sigurros when they were in Los Angeles recording an album that was set to come out later that same year" Kveikur wasn't recorded in Los Angeles, according to Wikipedia.

"imagine having female friends" is this cursed sites motto, apparently

idk i'm picking the wrong place to sermonize but rape is frighteningly prevalent and victims/survivors don't have recourse to services that other people who have experienced some kind of trauma do - indeed, in my neck of the world, money has been divested from Rape Crisis', who have to basically beg for their annual funding, even though the rates of it haven't gone down. shit like "to be fucking honest, I am sick and tired of hearing accusations from a woman to a man for sexually assaulting her" isn't just a (profoundly idiotic) throwaway line on a website but seems to encapsulate an entire structures modus operandi.

Wahou. The level of idiocy. Man, you're the perfect specimen. Pure brainwashed idiot.
Just listen to yourself. If we don't take her laughable testimony seriously, if we dare know that women are not harmless angels and they can lie (oh lord they couldn't could they ?), suddenly we're the kind of guy who don't watch how we act towards women "we want to put stuff in" (I love the self-hate here) And that's all that matters.
The gap in logic is exactly what the #metoo movement is about: "If you disagree, you hate women and you're a rapist."

Lol, ok what the hell is this? No, I think people are not just blindly taking anyone at their word, regardless of which side of the fence that may be. Do I disbelieve this woman? Not necessarily, I have absolutely no clue what happened. Even as a huge fan of the band I also can't seriously say he didn't do it just based on his word. All we have is one person's word against another, but there's also the possibility they simply interpreted the events differently i.e. neither one is outright lying.

Is it possible she would make this up, or take advantage of a drunken liaison from her past for the extra publicity/attention? Sure, that's also a possibility. People fabricate things for personal gain all the time.

I realise this is just a very long comment which essentially says idk what happened, no-one apart from the alleged victim/perpetrator does & even then they could be mistaken due to drunkenness, but whatever.

"I'm not going to try and argue that we shouldn't take these allegations seriously but she is an 'Instagram artist' and the publicity is most certainly going to help her profit from all this"

The attention she will be receiving from this will be incredibly toxic, so it's most likely not really worth it. I mean just look at this thread. Like Demon said could be lying could be telling the truth, we may never actually know.

I don't immediately assume someone is lying based on their profession. You could say the same thing about Stormy Daniels or the Playboy lady were making stories just for the attention but I think we all believe those encounters happened. So it's a bit of a jump to assume because she's an IG girl this is just for attention, at the same time you can't completely rule it out. I'm more curious if she's going to take the allegations somewhere or just drop it. The move I find more interesting is that he immediately drops out of the band. While it's not an admission of guilt or anything there didn't seem to be much hesitation so it is a curious path to take so quickly imo.

Kevin, you incompetent prick,
Sexual violence toward women and patriarchal indifference toward it is a serious fucking problem that is literally older than agriculture. So when you say the metoo movement, the first direct assault on the issue that I think has existed in the modern age, is simply about putting women's testimony on a pedestal, you are being a dick. I’m gonna assume youre not a Neanderthal and know that rape (any form of it) leaves little to no evidence and so demanding physical evidence is an explicit form of dismissal favoring rapists. That means you’re just morally on the side of rapists and hiding behind this fucked up facade of a perverted justice cuz you don’t comprehend that some sex could be unwated. This is why people opposed to social justice in this context get painted as incels.

Agreed hard. Anyone can say ANYTHING on the Internet, like I say [insert user name here] is a serial killer/psychopath.

By the way, I'm sorry for my statement earlier, it cause a bit of a shitstorm here. It just that I feel like this site (or even the whole society) is so divided about that topic, and people take the news so seriously, and it appears almost constantly, not just in the US, but in here Hong Kong. Besides, the example that I use in that, I also find it's a bit inappropriate as well, as these two are two very different cases.

"Idk I think this whole rape culture thing is bs. They apparently didn't have the courage to report it immediately after the fact, when it could have had far greater legal significance. Would you report a mugging? An assault? A murder? Why the fuck wouldn't you report someone who raped or molested you?"

"Funny how sooooooo many people were sexually assaulted and just let it slide until it became trendy to accuse people on social media"

most of the time it's socially, financially, and/or politically disadvantageous to accuse people in your community of doing awful things like that. Particularly if they're famous or rich, then unless your accusations look air-tight you'll be accused of being a golddigger or a "slut who had it coming", and oftentimes victims of assault just figure it'd be less traumatic to let it go than make a confrontation. Like ffs everyone liked Matt Lauer and look how long it took for those women to get up the nerve to risk accusing him. If someone in your clique or community does something similar, there are social pressures that discourage saying bad things about them.

Victims are rarely believed is why they usually don't come out.
When someone is assaulted then blamed for being assaulted all you assholes wonder why they stay quiet.
Take some other countries for example, get raped and you need five witnesses to prove you got raped. Ok yea that makes sense.
Oh you got raped? Well you shouldn't have been dressed like that. You shouldn't have done XYZ. Somehow in sexual assault cases it often comes back to hey victim you are the reason this happened to you.
It has nothing to do with the victim and everything to do with the piece of shit who thought taking something that wasn't offered to them was ok.
Think about when you were younger and some girl didn't like you. What was the advice?
Keep trying until she realizes how great you are, and you wonder how some people take that to the extreme.

If she takes it to court she will need evidence or at least enough proof to support her story which becomes a whole other thing. The entire system we have for prosecuting these types of crimes is appalling, just look up the state of rape kit testing. The scheduling for testing is years behind, sometimes they aren't stored properly or destroyed without testing because they have piled up so many.
So not saying everyone should just take her word and jail him with no trial but she shouldn't be attacked for coming forward either. It's hard enough to prove her case as it is since it doesn't sound like she went to the police afterwards. If these people weren't harassed into oblivion we would probably have a better system in place to deal with these things.
If we look at history is it really that surprising sexual assault is more common than you think?

Yes no reason at all, like whenever I give out my thoughts on sexual assault stuff you're always like "how's that quest to kill all men" once again turning something around on me.
