Report: 7 women claim singer Ryan Adams was inappropri­ate

A New York Times report says seven women have claimed singer-songwriter Ryan Adams offered to help them with their music careers but then turned things sexual, and he sometimes was verbally abusive.

In the story published Wednesday, a 20-year-old female musician said Adams, 44, had inappropri­ate conversati­ons with her while she was 15 and 16. Identified by her middle name, Ava, she said that Adams exposed himself during a video call.

Adams’ ex-wife, actress and singer Mandy Moore, said Adams was psychologi­cally abusive toward her throughout their marriage. Their divorce was official in 2016.

The Times said the accounts have been corroborat­ed by family members or friends who were present at the time. Adams’ lawyer denied the claims to the Times. After the article was published, Adams tweeted Wednesday that “I am not a perfect man and I have made many mistakes.”

“To anyone I have ever hurt, however unintentio­nally, I apologize deeply and unreserved­ly,” he wrote.

Grammy-nominated rapper 21 Savage was released Wednesday from an immigratio­n detention center in Georgia, his lawyers said. The rapper, whose given name is She’yaa Bin Abraham-joseph, was released on $100,000 bond, immigratio­n lawyer Tia Smith said in an email. He had been held in the Irwin County Detention Center in Ocilla.

Abraham-joseph was arrested Feb. 3 in a targeted operation, U.S. Immigratio­n and Customs Enforcemen­t has said. An immigratio­n judge on Tuesday granted him bond.
