Saul Adamczewski of Insecure Men and formerly of Fat White Family<\/a> has been dropped by his record label and had tour dates cancelled after two women shared allegations of physical and emotional abuse against the musician.<\/p>\n

One woman said that the pair had a short relationship that resulted in a pregnancy, after which, she alleged, Adamczewski \u201cmade it his duty to make me suffer. He has been violent, pushed me, thrown glass bottles at me, showered me with beer [\u2026] insulted me, taken my passport from me, stolen my money and more, all while I had our baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

She claimed that Adamczewski \u2013 who has been candid about his use of crack cocaine and heroin, and was kicked out of Fat White Family and sent to rehab \u2013 used her \u201cas an excuse to get more money for doing smack, while I would have no money to feed myself and had to steal after he promised he would take care of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that in her third month of pregnancy, she moved to \u201cbe with my family and away from him\u201d and shared screenshots appearing to show abusive messages from Adamczewski.<\/p>\n

The musician Jessica Winter commented on the post saying she had \u201cwitnessed this man\u2019s physical and emotional abuse on two women and other men\u201d, and claimed that Adamczewski had \u201cthreatened and abused me to try and silence me\u201d.<\/p>\n

Another alleged victim described multiple incidences of physical violence. She also alleged that he folded her inside a sofa bed and \u201cheld me inside\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Guardian has contacted representatives for Adamczewski for comment. The band\u2019s management and UK publicist have severed ties and the Instagram profile for Insecure Men has been removed.<\/p>\n

Insecure Men were signed to the US indie label Fat Possum and have now been dropped. In a statement, the label said: \u201cWe take the accusations against Saul Adamczewski very seriously. Fat Possum will no longer be working with Insecure Men.\u201d The band have been removed from the label\u2019s online roster.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s set at the Green Man festival did not go ahead this weekend, nor a planned date in Manchester. A subsequent date at Rough Trade Liverpool has also been cancelled, a staff member confirmed to the Guardian, along with the band\u2019s November tour of the UK. No official reason for the cancellation has been shared.<\/p>\n

Adamczewski co-founded the Metros in 2006 and found minor indie sleaze-era success including having a song on the soundtrack to US teen TV series Gossip Girl.<\/p>\n

In 2011, he co-founded Fat White Family, a band that gained notoriety and acclaim for their debauched behaviour. He left the band before the completion of their 2024 album Forgiveness Is Yours. He was also a member of Warmduscher from 2014 to around 2018.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saul Adamczewski of Insecure Men and formerly of Fat White Family has been dropped by his record label…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":605449,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-605448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605448","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605448"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605448\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/605449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
