Earlier this year, Mo Troper was accused of abuse by his former romantic partner, Maya Stoner of the band Floating Room, and was dropped by his label, management, and publicist. After issuing a statement denying the allegations, Troper sued Stoner for defamation, interference with business relationships, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and invasion of privacy. Now, as Stereogum reports, the lawsuit has been settled and Stoner retracted their allegations.
Stoner, who signed an affidavit and agreed to a no-contact order, wrote:
I am writing a statement in order to address what I have said about my former partner and bandmate, Morgan ‘Mo’ Troper. In March of this year, I publicly posted about my experience in the relationship. I recognize that this impacted him and his career. While there were some issues with our relationship and it was emotionally fraught for both of us at times, Mo was not abusive towards me as that term is legally defined. I will continue processing other aspects of our relationship in private. Troper and I have signed a mutual no-contact agreement, and I will not disparage him publicly again.
Troper commented: “We have resolved this matter and hope everyone will move forward from this situation.” In a tweet, he added, “I’ll add that I do not condone harassment of Maya, and request that people move on from this situation peacefully. This issue has been resolved.”
