In a New York Times story, several women, including Mandy Moore, have come forward and accused 44-year-old singer Ryan Adams of being controlling and obsessive. According to the report, a 20-year-old woman named Ava also claimed that Adams had 'sexual conversations' with her when she was just a teenager.

Adams' lawyer Andrew B. Brettler denied the claims against his client to the Times, stating that the singer never engaged in inappropriate online sexual communications with someone he knew was underage. Brettler also said that the allegations come from disgruntled individuals who blamed his client for personal or professional disappointments.
