Re: Erick Morillo

Not taking into account the accusations against him, this is really sad. It's only in the last 6 months I've been regularly listening to his sets.

Re: Erick Morillo

I'll never forget him droping Sweet child o' mine by Guns n Roses when I saw him at Cream in Liverpool. Eveyone lost their shit for about 4 minutes. It was magical.

Re: Erick Morillo

He'd done well for property. An 8 bedroom house in Miami, villa in ibiza and this place in LA :

His ibiza IMS interview was very revealing, seemed like he'd got his head together ... but mentioned women as an addiction - which based on the allegation his demons led him way too far.

Very sad for all concerned.

Sounds like the victim was Roger Sanchez GF, but there are some serious holes in this story.

TBH. I did question why she stayed at his house. In the statement, she said she found a room on her own to go to sleep in, normal people would have got an Uber and left.

Re: Erick Morillo

Mr C posted about rumours in the industry of Morillo raping in New York and ibiza - also that, for a girl to stay at his Ibizan villa there were house rules attached i.e. they had to sleep with him.

I'm sure enough women will have thrown themselves freely at Morillo as he was famous etc. But it also seems, along with taking advantage of his position to pray on the weak, he acted as a predator - hunting down women, finding ways to make them sleep with him, coercing and forcing himself .. and when they refused, drugging and raping them.

Makes you wonder how many other stories will come out and other DJs named. The sad thing is that people must have known about this or seen him hassling women and making them (at the very least) extremely uncomfortable - yet no-one challenged him or did anything to say what he was doing was wrong, or shame him - so he will have continued on his path ... you'd assume getting progressively worse and more aggressive in his approach. A shameful side of nightlife industry.

I saw May last year at 51st State. There were only 6 people in the tent. No rape that night, I think.

Re: Erick Morillo

I'm not defending Morrilo, but this Krysten could have managed the situation differently. You would have thought that with all of the rumours in the industry Sanchez, would have been more switched on.

Nice bit of victim blaming there.

No, I am not. Krysten, comes across as someone that likes attention. I've been in some states in my time, but I have always been able to order a cab. Uber make that even easier, yet she decides to go back into the house. To label her as the Ashley Judd of dance music is a bit rich.

Re: Erick Morillo

^^^ That is what you said before and I would give you the same answer. To judge her behaviour against yours doesn't pass the pub test as we say here in Australia .

#1804281Post 34 of 53

Re: Erick Morillo

“naked known rapist follows you outside crying for you to come back to his mansion in Sobe.” and instead of using your smart phone you go back into the house.

hindsight is always 20/20 but what did she stand to gain for staying vs leaving? i’m just wondering what possible thought processes were?

im not blaming her for his depraved acts

Re: Erick Morillo

Morillo must have had a reputation already and I'd have hoped any female with any knowledge would have avoided him like the plague. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but based on those warning signs Kristen should have walked. He'd made a pass at her, ran out after her naked and then instead of getting her friend and them both leaving she started DJ'd again at his house with him.

Was it Kristen's fault she was raped ? 1000000% not - Morillo sounds like an absolute predator that just couldn't stop himself - the Bill Cosby of dance music and then some. Sickening and makes you wonder if there's others out there, although not on anywhere near his level.

Should she have seen warning signs and left ? Absolutely.

#1804328Post 37 of 53

Re: Erick Morillo

I was waiting for you to turn up. :) As soon as you say "She should have", and you did, it becomes victim blaming.

#1804336Post 38 of 53

Re: Erick Morillo

If I walk through an area that people have said to me is notorious for muggings and then have a close run in with a pickpocket but persist in walking through there, only to be mugged and am told that with hindsight "I should have" turned back then I'd say that in some way I had been careless and put myself in a bad situation I could have avoided.

Are you saying Kristen did the right thing in deciding to DJ with a guy that has just come on to her, then chased after her naked when she has a partner because the victim can never be blamed?

She should have left with the other girl, and retreated away from the situation as soon as she could. She wasn't to blame, but crikey ... she seems to be lacking common sense and was careless - something she will now regret for the rest of her life.

#1804337Post 39 of 53

Re: Erick Morillo

Also - the womans boyfriend should have told her not to go over to his house.... 27 years of that behavior is certainly enough time for Morrillo to have had a reputation, at least among those who were close to him. I'm sure there is more to the story, there always is, but as it reads in that article, the woman must have been under the influence of drugs and or alcohol to have gone back into Morrillo's South Beach mansion after he pleaded for her to do so without any clothes on. Because the naked crying should have been enough to confirm the rumors the man is not right in his mind.

Re: Erick Morillo

. He raped her that is all that needs to be said. I'm shocked that you all keep trying to justify his behaviour. As I said you guys just don't get it.:(
