Domestic abuse allegations

On March 12, 2024, Beard's former girlfriend of five years took to the subreddit r/TeamSESH on Reddit to accuse him of sexual assault, animal abuse and domestic violence. Beard's ex, going by "Gianyasami" on the platform, claimed that the two of them had a serious relationship for five years starting in September 2018, which took a turn for the worse in December 2018. One of his former friends and designers, going by the username "Anglicfilths", later came forward to back up her claims. As a result of this he was removed from many concert rosters.
