As previously reported, Bad Wolves recently parted ways with Tommy Vext. Now, the frontman has issued a new statement saying that he has “no animosity toward the boys.”

Vext said the following on his Instagram stories:

“Guys please listen:

you can support me without bashing my former band mates in @badwolvesofficial. I understand emotions are high and there’s a lot of speculation but just chill. I will make a statement when legal documents are finalized. I have no animosity toward the boys, the media once again ran with rumors and forced my ex bandmates to make an ill timed response.

I am grateful for your support & reassurance and it’s actually moved me to tears. But we don’t need to spread negativity to the other guys.

We have very different political and spiritual beliefs but they are good human beings & the way I see it is we will have a healthy competition to create awesome music. So everyone wins.

I Love John, Doc, Chris & Kyle. Please Don’t bully my homies.”

Guitarist Doc Coyle and the band have also issued new statements as well:
