In a TwitLonger statement<\/a> released by Aimee Southern on the 29th of April 2021, GiG was accused of multiple accounts of physical assault, verbal abuse and attempted rape, citing that GiG would “pressure [her] into sleeping with him” and “shout at [her] for not engaging in any sexual activity [with him]”. <\/p>\n

She further added that GiG “physically dragged [her] to the floor by [her] wrists in an attempt to stop [her] from leaving him”, adding that he tried to “force [her] to have sex with him after [he] repeatedly yelled at [her]”, saying demeaning things that would make her feel “worthless and crap about [herself]”. <\/p>\n
