Win Butler Biography
Who is Win Butler ?
Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler has been accused of s*xual misconduct by four people, but the singer claims the relationships were consensual, according to a report.
One of the accusers, a genderfluid individual who uses they/they pronouns, claimed that Butler, now 42, s*xually assaulted them twice in 2015 when they were 21, according to Pitchfork.
Three of the accusers are women who say their relationships were inappropriate due to the age difference and “power dynamic” between them and the singer.
The women said the interactions took place between 2016 and 2020, when they were between the ages of 18 and 23, Pitchfork reported. Butler was 36-39 during the alleged interactions.
Wife
Butler, who formed the indie-rock group in 2001 with his now-wife Regine Chassagne, denied any wrongdoing through a spokesman, who said the interactions were consensual and that he did not initiate any.
Each of the accusers described his interactions with Pitchfork, describing alleged unwanted touching, kissing and photos of genitalia. The singer said in a statement that he was going through a period of depression and heavy drinking at the time.

“There is no easy way to say this, and the hardest thing I have ever done is having to share this with my son. Most of these relationships were short-lived, and my wife knows: our marriage, in the past, has been less conventional than some,” he said in a statement.
“I have connected with people in person, at shows, and through social media, and I have shared messages that I am not proud of. Most importantly, each of these interactions has been mutual and always between consenting adults. It is deeply revisionist, and downright wrong, for anyone to suggest otherwise.
“I have never touched a woman against her will, and any implication she has is simply untrue. I vehemently deny any suggestion that I forced myself on a woman or demanded s*xual favors. That simply and unequivocally never happened.
“While these relationships were all consensual, I am very sorry for anyone I have hurt with my behavior. Life is full of tremendous pain and error, and I never want to be a part of causing someone else’s pain.”
