Deryck Whibley, the frontman of Sum 41, has made allegations of sexual and verbal abuse against Greig Nori, the band's former manager. According to Whibley, Nori allegedly pressured him into a secret sexual relationship when he was a teenager. Whibley claims that Nori groomed him and started the abusive relationship at a young age, which he kept hidden from his bandmates for years.
Greig never physically held me down and forced me to do anything. I agreed to it and went along with it.
I felt like I had signed my life away to someone.
Greig kept pushing for things to happen when we were together.
I've had an inner battle, like, 'Why do I want to tell him? Because I feel like I'm supposed to? Because he still has this thing over me?
I told her about the manipulation, his desire for control, how he took credit for my songs, the pressure to have a sexual relationship, how it all started and where it led.
I felt trapped in something that was easier to just go along with than to escape from.
But I didn't know how to tell the story [of the band] without it, because it was so intertwined with everything that was going on in my life back at that point, almost on a daily basis.
