'He was trying to leverage his role as an editor at a massive magazine, to get himself off that night,' Nik Thakkar told BuzzFeed News. 'It’s manipulation. It’s orchestrated.”
It was supposed to be a professional conversation between an editor at Billboard, America’s oldest, most totemic music publication, and an emerging queer artist.
Crowley did not respond when approached for a response to the allegations, but a spokesperson for Billboard said the company has investigated the “very serious allegations” and “determined there had been violations of the company’s ethical and professional standards.” The spokesperson added,"As a result, we have terminated Patrick Crowley’s employment, effective immediately".
A famous, and at the time drunk, photographer once put his “hand down my pants”, says Thakkar, but the incident with Crowley, despite no physical act occurring, was worse. “The level of manipulation,” he says was key. “I’ve never [before] had my career dangled in front of my face.”Billboard had written about him previously, hailing his “genre-bending” music.
It was, he said, affecting his wellbeing and then complained that he will now only get three hours sleep, and had left his Klonopin, a sedative, at work. When this did not work, Crowley re-introduced humour and his low self-esteem, that he was “thinking about how worthless and ugly” he is – ending the line with “lol”, and that, “I’m a potato with bad stubble”, and, “I’m not even fuckable”.
“I don’t want this,” he said this week. “It’s bullshit manipulation that is systemic in the music industry and it just needs to stop.”
