Sargent House owner steps down following abuse allegations
A post shared by Henry Kohen (@myletsband)He continued: “I witnessed routine extreme degradation and verbal abuse of employees and artists, intentional belittling and manipulation leading to rivalries and insecurities within the artist-base, blatant and even proudly misogynistic language surrounding the ‘acquisition’ of emotionally-vulnerable female artists, purposeful withholding of financial information except when making vague allusions to how indebted the artists were to her, open disdain for the fan bases of bands, forceful and targeted breaking of artists and employee’s personal boundaries, and an all-encompassing process of ‘othering’ that instilled a constant feeling of paranoia.”Since Kohen posted his statement, Pellow has responded to the allegations and apologised, adding that she would be “stepping away from Sargent House”. In a statement posted on the Sargent House Instagram, she said: “To Henry, I sincerely apologize and had no idea how much my words and actions hurt you.
