It’s been a particularly messy past few months for Cradle Of Filth. In August, spouses Marek “Ashok” Šmerda and Zoe Federoff announced they were leaving the extreme metal band over “foolish clown antics” from frontman Dani Filth, “unprofessional behavior” from manager Dez Fafara, a “toxic” work environment, and “psychopathic” session contracts. Filth denied those allegations shortly thereafter with a lengthy statement where he divulged a lot of personal details about his ex-bandmates; he later followed that up with another statement apologizing for airing out that dirty laundry, but insisted again that the accusations of “theft” and “exploitation” were “false and damaging.” Now, Cradle Of Filth are heading to court.
