Deryck Whibley has responded to former manager Greig Nori's claims that the Sum 41 frontman initiated a sexual relationship between the two.
Last week, Whibley revealed that Nori pressured him into a sexual relationship when the he was just a teenager.
In his memoir, Walking Disaster: My Life Through Heaven And Hell, Whibley recounts meeting Nori at the age of 16, and later being surprised when the much older musician and future Sum 41 manager made a pass at him.
Nori has since denied the allegations, issuing a statement saying the relationship was consensual. “The accusation that I initiated the relationship is false," Nori said. "I did not initiate it. Whibley initiated it, aggressively.” (
And now Whibley has posted a video to his socials, responding to Nori's comments.
“I take no pleasure in coming out with the truth about what happened between me and my ex-manager, but it was something that I just couldn’t keep in anymore, and I had to let it out,” Whibley said in the video. “It’s come to my attention that Greig Nori has now called me a liar. I tell you right now, I stand behind every word that’s in my book, 100 percent. I’m not a liar.”
Whibley then issued Nori a challenge to go under oath and give his account of what happened in front of a judge.
“Greig Nori, if you think I’m a liar, there’s only one way to settle this,” Whibley said. “Under oath, in front of a judge, in front of a jury. Anytime you want. I’m ready. Whenever you are.”
