All Time Low Drops Libel Lawsuit Over Allegations

News summary

All Time Low has requested the dismissal of a libel lawsuit they filed in 2022, claiming that anonymous allegations of sexual misconduct against guitarist Jack Barakat were false and part of a smear campaign. The band initially filed the lawsuit after multiple online accusations surfaced in 2021, with one central defendant, identified as 'Doe 2', alleging an abusive relationship with Barakat that was later disproven through investigation. The band's attorney stated that the investigation revealed Doe 2 was multiple individuals fabricating a narrative, and the band has chosen to handle the matter privately. Their statement expressed gratitude for the support they received during the legal process and emphasized their commitment to a safe environment for fans. The dismissal of the case is without prejudice, allowing All Time Low to possibly revive the action in the future. The band continues to maintain their innocence regarding all allegations made against them.
