Rock Band Gel Splits After Guitarist Stole Funds for OnlyFans
The music industry has been rocked by yet another scandal, as New Jersey-based rock band Gel has announced their sudden disbandment due to allegations of financial mismanagement and personal betrayal. At the center of the controversy is guitarist Anthony Webster, who is accused of stealing band funds to support his own OnlyFans account and leaking nude photos of his bandmates online.
Gel, known for their high-energy live performances and catchy indie-rock sound, had been gaining momentum in the music scene, with a string of successful shows and festivals under their belt. However, the band’s rapid ascent was abruptly halted earlier this week when the news of Webster’s alleged wrongdoing broke.
In a statement released to fans, the remaining members of Gel expressed their deep disappointment and sadness at the turn of events. “It is with heavy hearts that we announce the end of Gel. The recent allegations against Anthony have caused irreparable damage to our relationships and our trust in each other. We are left with no choice but to disband and move on from this difficult chapter in our careers.”
The statement went on to apologize to fans, who had been eagerly anticipating the band’s upcoming shows, including a highly anticipated performance at the Coachella music festival. “To our loyal fans, we apologize for the disappointment and letdown. We are truly sorry that our music, which was meant to bring joy and connection, has been tainted by Anthony’s actions. We hope that you will continue to support the music that we have created together.”
According to sources close to the band, Webster had been struggling financially, and his addiction to OnlyFans, a subscription-based platform that allows creators to share explicit content, had taken a toll on his relationships with his bandmates. The guitarist had allegedly been using band funds to support his OnlyFans account, which had been gaining popularity among fans.
But the final straw came when Webster leaked nude photos of his bandmates online, further straining the already fragile relationships within the group. “We were shocked and devastated when we discovered that Anthony had shared intimate photos of us online,” said a band member in an interview with Breezy Scroll. “It was a betrayal of the deepest kind, and we knew that we couldn’t continue as a band with someone who had shown such disregard for our trust and privacy.”
The news of Gel’s disbandment has sent shockwaves through the music industry, with many fans and fellow musicians taking to social media to express their disappointment and outrage. “This is a huge loss for the music scene,” wrote one fan on Twitter. “Gel was an amazing band, and it’s tragic that Anthony’s selfish actions had to bring them down.”
As the dust settles on this dramatic turn of events, it’s clear that Gel’s disbandment is a wake-up call for the music industry. The rise of OnlyFans and other subscription-based platforms has created a new era of financial temptation, and it’s essential that artists and their teams remain vigilant in protecting their interests and maintaining healthy relationships.
In the meantime, Gel’s remaining members are taking a well-deserved break before deciding what’s next for their careers. “We’re still processing everything that’s happened,” said one band member. “But we’re determined to move forward and create new music that will make a positive impact on the world.”
