SoldierofLove Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago (edited) Deryck Whibley has accused Sum 41's first and former manager of physical and verbal abuse. According to claims outlined in Whibley's new memoir, "Walking Disaster, My Life Through Heaven and Hell," the frontman was groomed and sexually and verbally abused by Greig Nori during the first stages of Sum 41's career. Whibley alleges the abuse started when he was 16 and Nori was 34. Nori (also a frontman for Canadian punk band Treble Charger) began collaborating with Sum 41 as a co-writer and co-producer, and later joined as an official manager of the band. Whibley also writes of his failed attempts to shut down any sexual relationship with the former manager. He recalls Nori labeling as homophobic in response. In the memoir, Whibley states the sexual encounters ended after a mutual friend of his and Nori's found out what he had been through. He also writes of the moment his former wife, Avril Lavigne, found out about these experiences, with Lavigne allegedly telling Whibley, "That's abuse! He sexually abused you." https://variety.com/2024/music/news/sum-41-deryck-whibley-former-manager-sexual-abuse-1236171218/ So sad. Glad he found the strength to open up about this.
