Addressing the Allegations Against My Former Creative Partner, Jay Christopher King

I recently received an email from an individual who said that they wanted to share a concerning

series of online interactions that they had with my former creative partner, Jay Christopher King.

This person shared that they are an experiencer who started a correspondence with Jay on Instagram

after seeing him on Cosmosis. They allege that in the course of this conversation where they

also shared vulnerable details of their history, the Jay crossed sexual boundaries and sent an

explicit photo. Screenshots were shared with me in support of these claims. They said they were

reaching out because they said they were concerned by the brazenness of this behavior, particularly

given that Jay is a public figure, and given his role working with vulnerable people in the

experiencer group, they were concerned that others might be at risk. I initially didn't believe it.

Jay is someone that I have worked with very closely over the last three years. He's been my

business partner and my closest friend. We've spoken extensively about his work as the director

of the experiencer group and had many conversations often initiated by him about how vulnerable people

can be when processing anomalous experiences and how important it is to maintain clear boundaries

and ethical standards. It is only because we had these conversations at length that I was ever

comfortable recommending that people join the experiencer group. I didn't think that it was

possible that the person I knew could have done something like this. But as someone who has been

the victim of sexual assault that went unpunished, and as a woman in this community who was publicly

endorsed Jay as someone's safe, this wasn't something that I could ignore. From the moment I first

allowed for the possibility that this might be true, to the time that I was on the phone with a

woman sharing another deeply distressing account involving Jay was just a few hours. I have since

heard from multiple women who have described concerning behavior. These stories are not mine to

tell, but I want to be clear about the nature of what has been reported to me. I have heard from

multiple individuals who have described concerning experiences, including allegations of inappropriate

sexual behavior involving Jay. Some of these accounts come from individuals who describe having

approached him while seeking support for their anomalous experiences. I cannot independently

verify these accounts, but given their seriousness, I felt that it was important to take immediate action.

I am currently taking the necessary steps to permanently sever all ties with Jay. The Cosmosis

podcast inquire anomalous presents content and any content featuring Jay has been permanently

removed from all of my public feeds. Production of season two of Cosmosis has been permanently

suspended, and at the time of this posting, while I'm still not sure what's going on with season

one of the show, I will not be promoting it moving forward. I am devastated and mortified to have

to come to the community that has inspired, held, uplifted, supported, and at times truly saved me

and tell you this. This is my greatest nightmare, and I'm sitting with the heartbreak and complexity

of having given my endorsement to Jay over these past few years. For that, I want to apologize

to the entire community and to the experiencer community in particular. I want to thank the

individual who reached out to me with the initial allegations. Your bravery and intuition broke

a spell and helped a lot of people, including me, and thank you to the other brave women who have

shared your stories with me and the interest of helping others. You all have my eternal gratitude,

and here for you, and you have my full support. The podcast is on a temporary hiatus while I deal

with these matters. I'll be back soon with new episodes.
