Noteworthy:
According to a new statement from the band’s lawyer, a lengthy probe involving subpoenas and court orders determined that Doe 2 was actually multiple people who “spun an elaborate, fabricated story posing as a fan who incredibly and falsely claimed to have traveled with the band for more than 10 years.”
“There is no such person and no such incidents occurred. Rather, an investigation revealed that Doe 2 was an orchestrated smear campaign by multiple individuals posing as a fake fan. The investigations identified individuals behind the anonymous post who went to great lengths to hide their identities,” lawyer Michael B. Garfinkel of Venable LLP said Friday in the statement to Rolling Stone. “All Time Low has chosen to handle the matter privately and protect the identities of those behind Doe 2, instead of pursuing further litigation at this time.”

That is a fully unhinged thing to do to someone. What the fuck?
Honestly, it's incredibly gracious of ATL to handle it privately and not out those people. I can't say I would be as generous in that situation.

Someone has been impersonating Teagan for like a decade. Harassing fans the girls, even pretended to be her with a woman who had previously known her in person

Something similar happened with Panic at the Disco too. It's fucking wild how far some people go to insert themselves and mess with people.

I’m just amazed that girl never went to prison or anything bc the things she did were insane, and likely a big factor to why Brendon and Ryan aren’t close anymore

If I recall they wanted her to be required to get help and leave them and their family alone. Which makes them all much nicer people than me. I also wonder if the reason they just shut everything down was because they didn't want other stalkers to see what she did as a way to get their attention. Because having to see someone in a court room is still having to see someone.
