Conor Oberst "accepts" apology following rape allegations
Earlier this week, the woman who accused Conor Oberst of rape issued a statement retracting her original claims. Now, the Bright Eyes singer has accepted the public apology.
In this new statement, Oberst says he has “accepted” the apology, adding that the trial has “been extremely difficult and stressful for me personally and for those I love”. You can read the full statement beneath:
I have accepted Joanie Faircloth’s apology and retraction to clear my name. This has been extremely difficult and stressful for me personally and for those I love. I’m appreciative of the family, friends, fans, and business partners who supported me throughout this and look forward to happier times as we all move forward with our lives.
Oberst had been previously suing Joanie Faircloth (real name Joan Elizabeth Harris) for $1 million. Faircloth later described her remarks as being “100% false”, explaining that she was “going through a difficult period” at the time of the comments.
