Bensussenimmediately denied the allegations. However, that didn't stop the record label Brainfeeder and the L.A. event collective Low End Theory to end their relationship with the producer.
Pitchfork obtained the complaint the Gaslamp Killer filed. The producer claims he had consensual sex with the two women. He also says he has two witnesses who say they saw the women approach the producer for sex and then later leave under their own power."
