Sigur Rós drummer Orri Páll Dýrason has been accused of sexual assault, including rape, by a Los Angeles-based artist.
On September 25, Meagan Boyd (who also works as Yin Shadowz) wrote an Instagram post alleging that Dýrason had sexually assaulted her in 2013, when the Icelandic outfit were in Los Angeles for recording sessions.
"I was drunk, and I had met him at a club (I had a brief period in which I was a dancer at a club called 'the body shop')," Boyd wrote. "I also engaged in a kiss with him before falling asleep in the same bed, after that I completely knocked out."
Boyd then wrote that she "woke up with the feeling of being penetrated without my consent during a deep slumber" on two occasions that evening.
"I wondered [to myself] why I didn't leave after the first time," she wrote. "But I was drunk, dead tired, in shock, and this was right before I ever heard of anything like Uber/lyft ... but none of that should matter because no one deserves to be raped/touched/licked/fucked without CONSENT."
Boyd admitted that she did not press charges or come forward with the allegations until now. "I never reported it," she wrote. "I never expressed my pain publicly. I harbored this ache now for almost 6 years... for many reasons. I felt no one would believe me, I felt I had been irresponsible for trusting him just because he was in a band I loved and I respected him as an artist."
While Dýrason has yet to address the accusations publicly, Boyd followed her first post with another today, showing screenshots of an email she had allegedly received from the drummer following her first post. She also included her subsequent responses.
The email reads, "I cannot understand why you would want to publicly accuse me of something I did not do." The writer offers his own recollection of the evening, saying that they "had a good time together" before writing, "I did not assault you."
Boyd writes in the caption of her second post, "I think he believes his own lies or maybe he's just delusional.. his side of the story is completely untrue and fabricated."
You can find both of Boyd's posts below. Dýrason has not been charged for any of the crimes alleged by Boyd.
