Last week, Lemonheads frontman Evan Dando was accused of sending unsolicited explicit videos to a fan. Tony Ortega, the last editor-in-chief for the Village Voice during my time at the paper, did the reporting in his newsletter Underground Bunker, a newsletter otherwise dedicated to exposing Scientology. The unnamed woman and her husband reported that Dando sent her video files of himself masturbating after an otherwise innocuous Twitter conversation, and Ortega verified those video files. Since then, Dando has reportedly been hospitalized, and his wife claims that he was in the midst of a mental health episode characterized by drug-fueled self-sabotage.
