Beach Slang’s James Alex Accused Of Emotional Abuse, Family Releases Statement

Beach Slang's James Alex has been accused of emotional abuse. Last week, the band's former manager Charlie Lowe said on Twitter that she "endured constant emotional, psychological & narcissistic abuse from James Alex for years."

"I have learned he sells his too-kind-to-be-true persona to hide that he is truly the most selfish horrible person I will ever meet. I was diagnosed with C-PTSD from how he treated me," she continued. Lowe also shared other allegations of abusive behavior by Alex that were sent to her over the last few days.

Today, a statement from Alex's family was posted on Beach Slang's Instagram, which says that the band has broken up and that Alex is currently in treatment. "James was starting treatment before these allegations were made, and is now in an inpatient facility after attempting to take his life," the statement reads in part.

Here is Lowe's full accusation:

I endured constant emotional, psychological & narcissistic abuse from James Alex for years. I have learned he sells his too-kind-to-be-true persona to hide that he is truly the most selfish horrible person I will ever meet. I was diagnosed with C-PTSD from how he treated me.

So basically, fuck him. Fuck his made up music personality. Fuck his fake kindness. Fuck him for using me almost daily. Fuck him for making me want to commit s*****e to get out. Fuck him for my therapy bills & medication. Fuck him for alienating me from everyone I love.

Fuck him for using me as his goddamn personal servant, on tour & not. For making sure I was always so financially fucked with no other options. For being a textbook narcissist abuser. For making me feel so worthless & alone.

I see you clearly now. Fuck you.

You know what, I’m not done. Fuck him for punching holes through things because he was sick of me crying by his own hand. Fuck him for calling me an “ungrateful bitch” when I said I wanted to see my friends. For telling me I would have nothing without him.

For telling me I would have no friends without him. Fuck him for literally saying to me that treating me badly made him feel like a “rockstar”. I spent years of my life being consumed with fear & anxiety. FUCK YOU.
