Vulvodynia’s Zion Bittenbender Exits Current Tour Following Sexual Assault Allegations

As previously reported, Vulvodynia’s new singer Zion Bittenbender was recently accused of sexual assault by a former partner. As such, the vocalist, who recently denied the claims, will now be heading home early from the band’s tour.

Vulvodynia commented:

“Official Statement from Vulvodynia:

Following the recent allegations circulating online involving our vocalist, Zion Bittenbender, we want to provide an update regarding our touring plans.

After careful discussion, Zion will be returning home from our current tour in Asia to focus on addressing these matters through the appropriate legal channels. Handling this responsibly would be extremely difficult while continuing to tour internationally, so this decision has been made in everyone’s best interests.

Lwandile Prusent, who originally fronted Vulvodynia and has since been performing on guitar, will resume vocal duties for the remainder of 2025 to ensure our commitments are fulfilled.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support while this situation is handled properly and respectfully.”
