JOEY ARMSTRONG RESPONDS TO SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ALLEGATIONS: Joey Armstrong, son of Green Day's Billy Joe Armstrong, responded to the allegations of sexual misconduct made against him by Lydia Night. In a social media post, The Regrettes singer described herself as being the victim of “emotional abuse and sexual coercion by someone in a position of power over me.” The SWMRS drummer wrote on Instagram, “I want to address Lydia’s Instagram post about our relationship. While I don’t agree with some of the things she said about me, it’s important that she be allowed to say them and that she be supported for speaking out. I respect her immensely and fully accept that I failed her as a partner. I was selfish and didn’t treat her the way she deserves to have been treated both during our relationship and in the two years since we broke up. I have apologized to her privately and I hope she can forgive me, if and when she is ready to do so. I own my mistakes and will work hard to regain the trust that I lost.”
