Ryan Adams Scandal: Model Karen Elson Says She Also Has ‘Traumatizing’ Story

But she says she’s not brave enough to share the specifics.

Model and musician Karen Elson has added her voice to the chorus of women who say they were mistreated by singer-songwriter Ryan Adams. In an Instagram post on Thursday, Elson said: “I also had a traumatizing experience with Ryan Adams. While I’m not quite brave enough yet to speak about my specifics. I’m encouraged that many women have bonded and helped each other heal.” A New York Times expose this week detailed the stories of seven women, including ex-wife Mandy Moore, who accused him of manipulative behavior—including mentoring young female musicians while simultaneously pursuing them for sex. The FBI is reportedly looking into a report that Adams had sexually explicit communications with an underage girl. Adams has denied the allegations.
