- talks about how she was abused by former boyfriend & Foxygen
(indie psych duo from San Francisco) frontman Sam France, then silenced & framed by his abuser and his family
- she was part of Foxygen for a while, and the relationship caused major &
much publicized drama and power struggles within the band
- says the relationship was toxic on both sides from the start, and ended when he eventually punched her in the face
- at the time she posted a photo of her swollen cut lip as proof, which she then also produced in court
- the case went to court and she lost, as she didn't have a lawyer and had to represent herself
- claims she was falsely accused by France's mother of trying to break into their house, and a restraining order against her was eventually obtained on those grounds
- is frequently bullied by stalkerish trolls and treated as an 'hysterical woman' because she 'refuses to move on', when all she wants is her story to finally be heard and the truth to be known
Elizabeth & Sam France :- recently got into a feud with Sean Lennon after she asked for his help in her protest against Foxygen playing Desert Daze festival
- he was dismissive, saying "
i know if Jimi Hendrix had slapped his girlfriend boycotting all Woodstock would be ridiculous!", calling her 'crazy' and eventually saying inane defensive things like 'mainsplaining is reverse sexism'- she eventually publicly shared one of his DMs, which angered him- he ended the feud with an instagram post with a picture of himself & his mother Yoko and a
(rather childish) comment as his last comeback
- she talks about how she's been systematically silenced by the industry, calls out a lot of self-proclaimed feminists' & former friends' hypocrisy for refusing to share her story and give her a voice
- talks about her album 'The Orange Glow', an autobiographical psych folk record

3she isn't perfect and has said/done questionable things, and she's the 1st to recognize that. but the hush-hush on this whole story is very weird: online articles being taken down, other artists dissociating themselves from her, troll accounts that stalk and insult her on a regular basis... i know she's an obscure artist & Foxygen aren't exactly well-known on ONTD either, but i just thought this could be a good way to give her story some visibility - since so many people seem to be trying pretty hard to make sure it doesn't have any.
