Last Thursday (September 20), Twitter user @donasnooze posted a thread recalling her interaction with the guitarist, saying that she was 16 years old when she began exchanging selfies with Harris in 2016. Harris allegedly called her "cute" and requested more photos.
None of the selfies in question were explicit, but @donasnooze wrote, "i got rejected by refusing to send him nudes." Additionally, @donasnooze has been sharing private messages from numerous anonymous Twitter users who claim to have had similar experiences with Harris.
Twitter user @khaIidvevo also posted a similar account of alleged photo exchange with Harris, and as proof shared selfies reportedly received from Harris on Instagram (plus a video of their chat history).
Another post by Twitter user @spideyshuri, which dates all the way back to 2016, features a screengrab of a snapchat interaction, apparently with Harris.
Panic! At the Disco haven't directly addressed the claims, but over the weekend (September 22), they released a simple tweet explaining, "Touring musician Kenny Harris will no longer be performing with us because of a personal matter." Harris had been touring with Panic! At the Disco since 2013.
Harris, 37, also performs solo as Kenneth Aaron Harris. As of press time, he hasn't publicly acknowledged the allegations.
Read the tweets and Instagram post below.

April 20, 2016: this was the first day I ever snapped kenny. I sent him a picture of me with that stupid dog filter, thinking he wouldn't even reply but boy did he. He went on about how cute I was and asked me to send more selfies-

which I obviously did, and he sent a few back. Fast forward about a week later. My friend and I had tickets to see panic live on july 8th, fifth row from the stage. I snapped kenny and asked him if he could throw me a guitar pick since we were so close to the stage.
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
He agreed, but only if I'd send him a "pic😉" first. Me being the dumb 16 YEAR OLD that I was at the time, asked him "what kind of pic", hoping he just wanted another selfie (not that that's any better) but noope.
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
He replies back "surprise me😉😘". So, my dumbass 16 year old self decided to play along and i go, "If I send you a picture now, you'll forget about me by the time of the concert in July!!"
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
to which he replies with "well, if you keep sending them, i won't😉" So, I ended up agreeing but always put it off whenever he'd ask. I wasn't gonna actually send him anything. there was no way.
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
He would always ask for pics but finally got bored i guess?? I would always make up excuses for why I couldn't send anything and they were not believable whatsoever. but they shouldn't have had to be.
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
all in all. he stopped snapping me after he realized he wasn't gonna get what he wanted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
before anyone comes at me for playing along, i had just turned 16! I was nervous to come out about this back then because i didn't want to get him in trouble. a member of my favorite band talked to me and i didnt want him to regret it? if that makes any sense? beyond fucked
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
anyway, if anyone has any questions, my DMs are open.
— ashley (@donasnooze) September 20, 2018
It was all on snap so i dont have screenshots. I'm also pretty sure kenny doesn't even use snap anymore so I'm hoping this atleast counts for something. pic.twitter.com/Nir185sCVv

I'm in contact with snapchat at the moment to pull up my old snap messages. stay tuned
