One of the most alarming instances during this time for me personally was finding out that Matt and Ryan, after talking to both Lex and Don separately about the incident, urged the two of them to talk things out and reconcile. This is something Matt and Ryan at the same said they told Lex, and Lex also confirmed this to me separately. A victim of sexual assault ought to be nurtured and protected in these kinds of moments, not be told to "make up" with their assaulter. This, in my opinion, is an example of the boys attempting to wash their hands of any responsibility pertaining to the incident, choosing to instead make themselves as uninvolved as possible. It is also in my eyes a failure to appropriately recognize the severity of the situation. Worse yet, they further surrendered their responsibility of dealing with their employee to the victim, by asking Lex whether they should fire Don or not, instead of taking matters into their own hands. For the record, this was also confirmed by all the parties involved. Again, the victim should not be charged with making such decisions - it is incumbent on the employer, whose employee sexually assaulted their friend, to make that call. This reads as another instance of Matt and Ryan attempting to hand over responsibility altogether, rather than step up to their professional and moral duties. One other event that disturbed me similarly was an exchange I had with Matt and Ryan when I confronted them about the two aforementioned points in person around that time. I recall the first words that came out of Matt's mouth were "well, you know, legally speaking, we don't actually have to do anything here," which was certainly shocking. This is apparently something Matt also told Lex in a separate conversation prior, and is obviously not the sort of thing a well-adjusted, empathetic person would say, let alone a good friend. Ryan didn't interject to correct or paraphrase anything at any point either, just to be clear; thoughout it at all, it appeared the boys were operating in agreement with one another. It took Lex a lot of strength and courage to open up to them about her traumatic experience in the first place, and then Matt and Ryan treated her case as an inconvenience/nuisance time and time again. Sure, Matt and Ryan aren't at fault for what Don did to Lex, but they are certainly responsible for the ways in which they dealt with the information disclosed to them, especially as it pertains to their professional associate. The truth of the matter is, we don't get to choose what happens to or around us, but it is up to us how we react to these things. From where I stood, it was clear that they didn't want anything to negatively affect their professional lives further, but their selfish inaction ended up affecting mine and Lex's work instead. Us keeping our silence on this matter has only benefitted them and their brand, but they have yet to reciprocate this in any meaningful way.

8:14 1 < Notes public with our relationship. I didn't fully understand at the time how wrong everything was. After the fact I was so disgusted that none of his adult friends saw any issue with him dating me. I believe he was 25/26 years old at the time. I was 17/18. It was not okay. While we were together he made a problem between Lex and I for no reason. At the time he told me he was not dating her anymore and set a spin on things, telling me that Lex is still interested in him and trying to send him nudes. Lex and I had talked about it privately and she told me that Don was the one pestering her to send her her onlyfans/patreon nudes. It felt like he tried to pit us against each other, but I had nothing against Lex. I barely even knew her. I had only talked to her a few times and she even warned me about Don and told me some private things about him. The more I found out about Don and things he had done in the past the more I was worried about our "relationship." I honestly don't remember how I broke things off with him since it was very traumatizing for me. I was in such a bad mental state when he confessed to me and was doing so poorly mentally. I was so excited and happy that someone i put on a pedestal cared about me. I was not in the right state of mind to understand how f----- up it was. 0
8:14 1 < Notes July 27, 2023 at 8:14 PM I felt empowered to make a statement after seeing what Lex (@niceupdog) and Rav (@iamrav) posted regarding DonDRRR and Supermega. My name is Clancy and In 2019 and 2020 I was groomed and taken advantage of by Don. My old twitter where I orginally posted about it got spam reported and suspended. I do still have my original twitlonger I made about it in August of 2020. Since it has been years since the event I am better able to explain what happened. Don used a power dynamic and his status as an artist I looked up to to groom me. He also took advantage of the low mental state I was in since i had just gotten out of a relationship that ended very roughly. I was 17 when I met him and 18 when we briefly "dated." I was so excited and happy to feel seen by an artist i had adored and looked up to for so long. I really liked supermega when they first began posting in 2016 and when I had found out he was working for them I was even more excited. He lured me in with promises of jobs in the art industry, introducing me to other popular artists and telling me he could introduce me to Supermega. He was planning to visit me in person, but Covid hit before it could. I didn't understand why he didn't want to be very public with our relationship. I didn't fully nd at A was. After the fact I was so disgusted that 0
After a week I had flown back to Germany I was then contacted by Supermega that they were not going to be using my Art anymore. After that they had cut contact with me and I have not heard from them since. Following this I had decided to send Lex another apology via Discord but had gotten no reply from her. At this time I had accepted that I was not going to hear back from Lex or Supermega for the foreseeable future.
