Disturbing news for those who grew up listening to Eraserheads: the lead guitarist, Marcus Adoro, is currently facing sexual assault allegations. A Reddit user shared an expos&eacute; about Adoro&rsquo;s past, including alleged abuse he inflicted on countless women.

This issue is not new to most. Back in 2019, Adoro&rsquo;s daughter, singer-songwriter Syd Hartha, also opened up about the abuse she endured growing up. She mentioned both emotional and physical trauma, and even released screenshots that included inappropriate messages allegedly from her father. Around the same time, Adoro&rsquo;s former partner, Barbara Ruaro, also came forward with claims of physical and emotional abuse. Fast forward to 2022, Ruaro said she still hadn&rsquo;t received any apology from him.

Eraserheads frontman Ely Buendia addressed the issue on April 6. He shared that Adoro would step away from upcoming Eraserheads projects indefinitely. Buendia made it clear to the public that the band stands against abuse in all forms. Buddy Zabala, the group&rsquo;s bassist, also expressed support for the alleged victims and said he hoped healing would come from all sides.
