Earlier this year, Mo Troper was accused of abuse by his former partner, Floating Room’s Maya Stoner, and he was subsequently dropped by his label, Lame-O Records. Troper, who denied the allegations, sued Stoner for defamation in June, and now the lawsuit has reportedly been settled and Stoner retracted their allegations. Stereogum reports that Stoner signed an affidavit and agreed to a no-contact order, and wrote:
I am writing a statement in order to address what I have said about my former partner and bandmate, Morgan ‘Mo’ Troper. In March of this year, I publicly posted about my experience in the relationship. I recognize that this impacted him and his career. While there were some issues with our relationship and it was emotionally fraught for both of us at times, Mo was not abusive towards me as that term is legally defined. I will continue processing other aspects of our relationship in private. Troper and I have signed a mutual no-contact agreement, and I will not disparage him publicly again.
Troper also provided his own comment: “We have resolved this matter and hope everyone will move forward from this situation.”
In a tweet, Troper added, “I’ll add that I do not condone harassment of Maya, and request that people move on from this situation peacefully. This issue has been resolved.”
