Let's not also forget that Stevie has a powerful publicist who could easily plant stories in the NY Post -- it's not that hard to do. Same with Irving Azoff. It seems to me that the NY Post could easily have been tipped by someone wanting a nasty article about Lindsey to come out. The fact that Vanessa Carlton has tweeted about these allegations on multiple occasions makes me believe this is coming from Stevie's camp.

As for the facts -- Lindsey's history is problematic. There are multiple accounts of physically violent incidents with women that have been recounted by multiple people close to the band, and for me there's enough there to believe that it happened. By all accounts he has done the work to change himself and is not drinking/drugging as was the case when the violent incidents allegedly. I have not heard any account of whether this conduct occurred between him and Stevie that has convinced me, but she has a right not to want to work with him for this reason, any reason or no reason at all. However, to the extent that she and/or her camp are using these allegations to take him down to save her reputation though, it strikes me as especially nasty. Sadly, this stuff is alway going to be somewhat of a ticking time bomb for Lindsey, so one wonders if the intent is to try to get him to back off by scaring him.

Agree.

She said in her statement that the Music Cares event was "exceedingly difficult" interaction with him... wtf does that even mean? It's so vague that it's useless.

oddly enough, they've got their arms wrapped around each other here.

more accurately, her arms wrapped around his.
His arms are to himself with his hands clasped in front of him. This is all her.

But she's a VICTIM of this mean, mean man!

She owes him everything. Without him, she'd be some retired waitress, living on $700/ month social security.

According to Stevie worshippers, she can't be taken seriously here because it's performance.
It's Lindsey's fault for having his arm in between her wrists.

I still want to know WTF happened at music cares. In that recent podcast he still didn’t reveal all that happened. The smirking issue is well known and early reports stated there was an issue about what song they were going to walk out to. I’d wish he would clear the air and tell all the details.

The breaking point was probably reached backstage off camera.
