Knocked Loose Drummer Responds to Anonymous Allegations, Proves He Has No STIs

Knocked
Loose
drummer
Kevin
Kaine
responded
to
allegations
made
by
an
anonymous
and
now-deleted
account
on
Reddit
from
someone
claiming
to
have
had
a
sexual
encounter
with
Kaine
and
contracted
multiple
STIs.
Here’s
the
original
post
that
appeared
on

Reddit:

“Warning
for
other
women

I
don’t
know
what’s
going
on
with
Reddit
or
why
my
account
isn’t
showing
up
I
didn’t
delete
it’s
just
bugging
out
somehow.
So
to
start,
I
am
not
looking
to
stir
up
drama
or
instigate
anything
or
ruin
Knocked
Loose’s
image.
I
just
want
to
warn
other
women,
I
dont
want
to
engage
or
argue
with
anyone
about
what
I
know
happened
to
me,
and
I
am
using
this
outlet
to
keep
myself
anonymous.
Again,
I
have
no
issue
with
the
rest
of
KL
and
was
a
big
fan
before
but
I
feel
sick
knowing
this
could
happen
to
someone
else.

I’ll
try
to
keep
this
short
as
I
am
just
not
comfortable
going
into
all
the
details.
Basically,
in
2021
I
matched
with
Kevin
Kaine
on
one
of
the
dating
apps,
at
first
I
thought
maybe
it
was
a
fake
account
but
we
matched
and
met
up.
I
had
been
a
fan
of
KL
for
years
and
been
to
multiples
shows/festivals
and
seen
them.
And
I
was
interested
in
him
at
the
time
so
we
matched
and
talked
for
a
bit
and
he
got
me
guest
listed
into
a
show.
I
guess
they
had
a
day
off
after
performing
so
they
stayed
at
a
hotel.
When
we
met
up
I
was
really
nervous,
I’m
not
going
to
lie,
he
got
us
drinks
and
I
drank
way
more
than
I
can
handle.
He
was
friendly
and
everything
was
okay
until
we
went
back
to
the
hotel.
There
we
kept
drinking
and
while
he
didn’t
force
me
I
felt
like
i
needed
to
keep
up,
not
saying
thats
his
fault
it
was
just
the
situation.
We
had
intercourse
and
I
consented
in
the
beginning
but
he
got
too
rough
for
me
and
I
kept
tapping
him
and
trying
to
get
him
to
stop
when
he
had
his
hands
around
my
neck,
I
felt
like
i
lost
consciouness
and
things
were
very
in
and
out
for
me
after
that
and
I
remember
him
finishing.
I
got
sick
and
threw
up
in
the
hotel
room,
I
gathered
my
stuff
and
called
my
mom
to
get
me
from
the
hotel.
The
sex
was
unprotected
and
I
had
not
been
with
anyone
else
for
probably
2
months
before
this
and
a
few
days
later
I
was
very
uncomfortable,
I
had
bleeding
pus
filled
sores
on
my
lower
half,
I
went
to
a
clinic
and
he
gave
me
HSV2
and
chlamydia.
I
have
never
had
an
STD
before
and
was
in
a
relationship
with
someone
for
over
a
year
prior
to
this.
I
was
in
so
much
pain
for
weeks
and
it
got
worse
and
worse.
The
only
way
we
talked
was
through
the
dating
app
and
I
felt
like
shit
and
knew
it
wouldn’t
matter
if
I
reached
out,I
doubt
he’d
see
it,
I’m
sure
at
best
he’d
just
deny
having
given
me
anything.”

Okay,
so
that
sounds
like
a
sexual
experience
of
questionable
consent
from
the
description,
but
to
be
clear,
the
poster
said,

later
on
in
the
Reddit
thread,
that
they
were

not
accusing
Kaine
of
sexual
assault
but
rather
were
mostly
upset
that
he
didn’t
disclose
his
STI
status.
However,
HSV
is
complicated.
The

CDC
does
say
that
people
who
know
they
have
genital
herpes
should
disclose
it
to
their
sex
partners,
but
it
also
says
that
most
people
who
have
HSV
have
few
or
no
symptoms
and
“most
people
do
not
know
they
have
a
herpes
infection.”

But
Kaine
was
not
going
to
let
this
stand.
He
not
only
denied
the
allegations,
he
gave
proof.
In
fact,
he
gave
a
surprising
amount
of
proof.
He
went
so
far
as
to
go
on

Twitter
and
post

actual
lab
results
proving
that
he
doesn’t
have
any
STIs.
Here’s
what
he
had
to
say:

“Hi,
it’s
been
brought
to
my
attention
that
a
story
about
me
is
floating
around
Reddit
and
Twitter.
I
would
like
to
set
things
straight
as
this
is
not
an
experience
that
I
had.
An
anonymous
person
claimed
that
we
met
at
a
show
in
2021
and
we
subsequently
had
sex
in
a
hotel
room
and
they
left
pregnant
and
having
contracted
STDs.

“The
first
show
we
played
in
2021
was
in
August.
I
was
in
a
committed
relationship
starting
in
May
of
that
year.
I
have
never
been
unfaithful
to
her.
There
were
no
sexual
partners
other
than
her.

“This
anonymous
person
also
claimed
that
they
spoke
to
my
girlfriend
at
the
time
to
let
her
know
that
she
was
cheated
on.
Coincidentally,
my
ex
and
I
are
very
close,
just
spent
the
last
two
days
together
in
Nashville.
No
one
reached
out
and
had
a
conversation
with
my
ex
girlfriend.
That
was
confirmed
by
her.

“To
wrap
this
up,
I
also
have
my
personal
medical
results
from
a
general
checkup
I
had
dating
April
of
2024.
I
do
not
have
any
sexually
transmitted
diseases.
Im
posting
here
for
clarity.

“I
absolutely
hate
that
this
has
gotten
to
the
point
where
I
have
to
share
my
personal
medical
information
with
strangers
on
the
internet.
I
feel
deeply
violated
that
an
anonymous
person
has
made
up
a
story
about
me
that
l’m
left
to
answer
for.
I
hope
this
clears
things
up.”

I
won’t
show
you
the
lab
results,
nor
will
I
show
you
the
correspondence
between
Kaine
and
his
doctor
that
he
also
posted
to
Twitter,
because,
honestly,
I
feel
like
that’s
an
invasion
of
his
privacy
and
I
don’t
feel
right
about
it,
even
if
he
did
reluctantly
make
the
information
public
himself.
Honestly,
I
feel
dirty
having
gone
down
this
whole
rabbit
hole.
I’m
going
to
go
take
a
shower.
