I need to share the full context of what actually happened, because the post about me is completely twisting the truth.
We all went out for drinks and came back to mine so my partner could change. Jamie lee and my partner were holding hands most of the night, and because of my autism, I didn't realize how wrong that was I just thought he was helping her because she was drunk, as she usually gets at most gigs.
I completely trusted them both, so I left them together in my bedroom while I ran to the corner shop to get some kale for my rabbits.

I came back to find him completely naked and laying down with his dick very close to her face. Two people I thought I could trust, naked in my bed. I screamed and constantly asked them both to leave. Jamie Lee refused to leave even after I asked her four times. I told her if she didn't leave, I would use reasonable force to remove her.
Instead of leaving, she grabbed my hair and punched me in the face, leaving my nose streaming. All I did was push her out of my apartment to defend myself there was absolutely no attack from me.

I was the one who immediately called the police because this was incredibly worrying, especially since my partner was already on bail for abuse against women and I had believed him.

My whole life is falling apart right now and I am massively sorry about this, but I hope people can understand. I will still be here supporting women and being a voice, even when people try to silence me. I have gone through three rapes and I will never be silent again. I am here for anyone at any time to support them. If you are struggling with drink or mental health, please reach out to a professional, or I am happy to help you find links for your local area. No one is ever truly alone. I love this community so much.

Let's make a difference.

I’m tired of seeing our local culture being stripped back to gatekeepers and unsafe spaces. Music belongs to everyone. It is the strongest force for good, our biggest power, and it’s time we used that power to build something better.

This upcoming show is more than a gig it's a massive moment. It is a proof of concept. It’s a chance to put more women in male dominated spaces and prove that grassroots music in Leeds is worth fighting for.

We are building a movement where everyone is welcome.

I have the biggest gig of my career coming up. If we sell this out, we prove that this movement has legs and create opportunities for local bands.

Support this one woman project and help me make a difference. Without your support, this movement stops here.
Will you stand with us?

Still not over Tuesday night at The Dreadnought 🖤

Thank you to everyone who came down to party with us. The vibes were unreal from start to finish. So much energy, laughter, movement and chaos in the best way. It honestly felt like a reunion with friends and a room full of pure love for heavy music.

Every single band absolutely tore the stage apart and brought everything they had. The energy was off the rails. The talent, the passion, the support for each other, the community. This is exactly why I do this. Being able to put on shows that are inclusive, high energy, and packed with the best upcoming talent means everything to me.

Thank you to all the bands for being not only insane on stage, but also the most lovely, down to earth humans. You made the whole night flow effortlessly and created such a supportive space for everything to go off.

Huge thank you to The Lending Room for always being such a dream to work with. You make everything run so smoothly and effortlessly, and the sound quality is always absolutely top tier. Truly one of the best venues to work with. 🖤

And thank you to every single person in the crowd who came to mosh, move, dance, scream, and bring the vibes to a random Tuesday night.

Huge thank you to Metathetic Music and Jamie Lee for creating this opportunity and bringing two absolute heavy hitters to the lineup. I genuinely feel like we are all one big family now.

Community is everything here at Blackthorn. Always.

Massive shout out to Luv for always capturing the best moments and being the loveliest bean ever. 🖤
