CKY were kicked off their co-headlining tour with Alien Ant Farm over the weekend, after the latter’s Dryden Mitchell accused CKY frontman Chad I Ginsburg of punching him in the face. Ginsburg has now apparently responded to the ordeal, saying he had “no choice and good reason” in an Instagram post.

“Uk CKY fans,” Ginsburg wrote early this morning. “Get your money back!! I had NO choice and GOOD reason for what happened. I will always defend myself You know me much better than that! More info to come Apologies to the fans.” The caption was complete with evocative hashtags such as “#onesidedbullshit, “#twosidestoeverystory,” and “#ifyouonlyknew.”

Mitchell said in his own Instagram statement on Saturday that Ginsburg “hasn’t figured out how to cohabitate with others after all these years,” detailing numerous alleged behavioral issues. Alien Ant Farm also announced today that UK alt-rock band InMe will fill in for CKY on the remaining tour dates Nov. 16-24.

UPDATE: On Monday, Ginsburg took to his Instagram Stories to share some screenshots of alleged past bad behavior by Mitchell, and another statement about the altercation:

Nothing wrong with defending yourself from a bad guy. If you are attacked or feel truly threatened, have no fear and stop the threat however you can.
I had to protect myself. It was a split second reaction to a very angry guy muttering then yelling #*%! at me from 10ft away charging at ME,into my personal space! Coming at me. He was attacking me!, I felt a physical threat and had I not tried to avoid the attack, I would have been assaulted. for fucks sake.
I could say so much more. But situation sucks for al!
I’d like to stop. Rather not get all into all. It’s no one’s biz. This is not news. . as unfortunate as the situation is all
together.
