The former Crystal Castles band member revealed on Twitter that she’d been served her court summons after a show by someone pretending to be a fan.
She was approached after her performance in Chicago on 17 November. On Twitter, she stated: “just got served after my show in chicago by someone pretending to be a fan. lol see you in court asshole.”
In October, Glass released a statement on her website accusing former band member Ethan Kath, real name Claudio Palmieri, of physical and psychological abuse. She said, “He forced me to have sex with him or, he said, I wouldn’t be allowed to be in the band anymore.”
Her statement read: “It has taken me years to recover from enduring almost a decade of abuse, manipulation and psychological control. I am still recovering.”
Kath has denied the allegations. Speaking through his attorney in a statement given to Pitchfork, he said, “I am outraged and hurt by the recent statements made by Alice about me and our prior relationship. Her story is pure fiction and I am consulting my lawyers as to my legal options. Fortunately, there are many witnesses who can and will confirm that I was never abusive to Alice.”
According to TMZ, he claimed that Glass was seeking publicity for her new musical venture.
