Yves Tumor denies allegations of harassment and sexual assault: “Just ruthless lies”

A heavy shadow has fallen over Yves Tumor's artistic career. Sean Lee Bowie has found himself at the centre of a series of serious allegations of abusive conduct and sexual assault, which he has promptly and firmly denied.

The allegations surfaced earlier this month, when a woman who has remained anonymous accused the musician of sexual assault, posting online a photo of a bruise she says resulted from the attack she suffered. Soon after, New York DJ Angel Money came forward, stating on X that she had been groped by Bowie at an album launch party, and posting footage of the incident to back up her claims. Following these initial revelations, other figures from the music scene, including Juliana Huxtable and Kidä, also voiced their support on social media and shared their own experiences with the artist, describing erratic behaviour and alleged emotional abuse towards his partner.

Bowie's response was swift: the musician dismissed the allegations as “100% false”, announcing his intention to pursue legal action against the accusations made against him. In a story posted to his Instagram profile on Sunday, August 23, and removed within a few hours, the artist called the whole affair “completely gut-wrenching”.

The following day, again through his own social media channels, Bowie put out another message to clarify his position:

“Right now nothing matters more to me than the support of my closest friends and the people who love me, who are helping me fight these lies, which are not only false but utterly disgusting and predatory, spread by someone I barely know. My lawyer and my PR team advised me against speaking out, but I have absolutely nothing to hide. I have several witnesses ready to confirm my version of events. Know that the truth always comes out; I ask you to keep me in your prayers.”
