Billy Corgan’s Nasty Scrap

It all started with a request from Billy for an engineer to construct a new type of bass pedal.  Then it got ugly.

The engineer–a transgender person named Devi Ever–went public with her grievances on Netphoria, a Pumpkins website.  (There’s nothing to link to; the comments have been deleted.)  That led to a series of Corgan tweets (now deleted but found here) and some Facebook posts.

“…you ugly piece of shit…if i ever run into you, anywhere, at anytime, for as long as i live, i will knock your fucking lights out. don’t ever come near me, and if i hear even one more peep out of you in public about me, or the band, or the members of the band, i am gonna sue you for so much you’ll never be able to afford so much as to even make a fucking guitar cable.”

Good PR, huh?  William:  the Interet is a public place and it lasts forever, remember?

And the next entry from Billy was even worse.

“…you fucked up, you know it, so eat shit, shut the fuck up and accept you’ve attacked someone who tried to HELP YOU. but addicts and self-destructive people like you who HATE THEMSELVES must turn their hate out. if this is what you have to do to not kill your unhappy self, well then i’d say it was a wise decision. beyond that, you are fucking lame, dumb, and so so ugly.”

Whoa.

Ever posted a twenty-minute YouTube response that’s since been deleted.
