CHVRCHES Frontwoman Strongly Responds to Rape Threat
It is moments like these where you remember that there are horrible human beings in this world…and that the Internet allows them to lead a brave, relatively hidden existence.
CHVRCHES frontwoman Lauren Mayberry has taken to Instagram in response to a disgusting rape threat she was sent via social media. It reads:
“My band is lucky enough to have some of the most awesome, supportive and respectful fans in the world and we are so excited to be in the studio making an album to share with them. Yet, on a daily basis, we still receive communications like this. These people never learn that violence against women is unacceptable. But they also never learn that women will not be shamed and silenced and made to disappear. I am not going anywhere. So bring it on, motherfuckers. Let’s see who blinks first.”
Mayberry also shared the visual of said threat.
Warning, the language featured in the photo below is very graphic in nature.
