Har Mar Superstar has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, who allege the Minneapolis artist born Sean Tillmann sexually assaulted and harassed them. In response, Tillmann has issued a statement denying one of the women's allegations while also acknowledging that he had harmed people with "a toxic mixture of alcohol, drugs, and cavalier sexuality."

One woman, who remained anonymous, told the Star Tribune that she was a friend of Tillmann. She alleges that, at his house in Minneapolis, he exposed himself and put his genitals in her face. She told three friends soon after, one of whom confronted Tillmann via text message at the time.
Another woman says that Tillmann put his hand down her pants at a bar. A third woman claims that he drunkenly propositioned her for sex; after she said no, he allegedly followed her into the bathroom and tried to kiss and touch her.
The Star Tribune spoke with three women in total.
In a statement posted on Twitter late last night (March 25), Tillmann responded to one of the women, saying, "I categorically deny the version of events."
Beyond that, Tillmann said he supported women speaking up against sexual assault, and called the women coming forward with stories about him "brave." He said that he is two years sober and goes to therapy, and is "profoundly and sincerely sorry for the harm that I have caused."
