A post shared by Timothy Heller (@timothyheller) on
Melanie’s friend, Timothy Heller (a woman, pictured in the Instagram above), also an aspiring musician according to Billboard, took to Twitter to describe in detail the alleged sexual assault that Martinez committed on her.
When I wrote this story about my assault, I initially wasn’t going to make the abuser. But I think it’s important for you all to know this is about Melanie Martinez pic.twitter.com/4PQ5oNI2s9

While this account is INCREDIBLY specific, Melanie has a…different perspective.
Flip the page to read her response…

As you might imagine, this…oddly succinct response to rape allegations set off a firestorm of vitriol toward Melanie.
Keep flipping for the reactions.
The fact that Timothy Heller gave a full statement in DETAIL describing the events that took place and Melanie Martinez responds with “she didn’t say no” and “sending good vibes” literally says it all https://t.co/WbQvUE2kdR

Lol @ the women defending Melanie Martinez right now….. y’all would be the first to attack a man accused of sexual assault but now that it’s a woman you like, suddenly there’s a chance the victim is lying?

FYI Melanie Martinez deserves the exact same treatment and backlash as any man who sexually assaults someone. She does not get to be excused because she is a woman. She’s just as guilty.

It’s funny to me how all fans of Melanie Martinez, especially the female ones, cancelled her the minute she was outed as a rapist but men still defend their homeboys who have done the same

Obviously there are a lot of intersectional elements to this case.
Just because Melanie Martinez sexually assaulted someone doesn't mean you can't enjoy her music anymore. Separate the artist from the music they create

What’s sad is that Melanie has STANS who don’t give a good cotdamn about rape and sexual assault allegations. In many cases these Stans are women, but they sound a lot like toxically skeptical men…
melanie martinez IS NOT A RAPIST. people do this for fame and money. there is no proof and why would you wait “ years “ to come out and say this. when mel is at the height of her career everyone needs to ruin it. #melaniemartinez

Look if she really wanted something done she should have went to the police not throw accusations on social medias for attention. That's it. End of story #melaniemartinez #timothyheller
