Yesterday CHVRCHES issued a statement about their disappointment with Marshmello’s choice to work with musicians Chris Brown and Tyga after the artist released his latest track “Light It Up” featuring the two musicians. CHVRCHES recently collaborated with Marshmello on the smash hit “Here With Me” that was released last month and still doing well on the charts and radio play.

The statement reads:

“We are really upset, confused and disappointed by Marshmello’s choice to work with Tyga and Chris Brown. We like and respect Mello as a person but working with people who are predators and abusers enables, excuses and ultimately tacitly endorses that behavior. That is not something we can or will stand behind.”

Later that evening CHVRCHES' lead singer Lauren Mayberry posted a couple examples of the abusive messages she has been receiving since the statement was released. One photo was captioned with, “Angry men on the internet can call me all the names they want. I still think domestic abuse is wrong. Peace out, internet. Tomorrow is a brand-new day.”

Sadly, Mayberry is no stranger to online abuse and has confronted it head-on writing an op-ed for The Guardian in 2013 detailing the daily abuse she receives online as a female musician in a male dominated industry. In 2015 she spoke with Channel 4 News in the UK discussing misogynist trolls and followed that up with a heartbreaking letter penned for Lena Dunham’s Lenny Letter about an abusive relationship from her past.

The members of CHVRCHES have always been outspoken about social issues and stay true to what they stand for with this powerful statement.
