Dean accused of abuse from wife

Jeff earlier this year: "I love life, I'm singing for one of my favorite living legend bands!"

Jeff now: "fuck."

All I know for sure is that STP must have one of the worst PR representatives as they are always way behind on responding to anything and even when they do come out, some statements are tone deaf like when Scott died and they released a one sentence confirmation late in the day.


Who knows when we will get a response from Dean. But silence is deafening and public opinion will be swayed against his favor if he doesn't refute or at least apologize and announce that he is getting treatment.

After everything this band has been through, this is the first time in my life I've been embarrassed to be an STP fan.

I reached out for comment about 24 ago now especially knowing I'd be posting something with more details, along with other outlets like Loudwire. I'm surprised there's no comment at all.

This is some shit news.


He's gonna get it for this.

For some reason I thought Dean had been clean and sober for a long time.

Only activity on STP camp is last night Robert retweeted a Bass Player Magazine article about him.Jenn DeLeo's facebook/instagram pages mention getting help for domestic abuse.  She also appears to already be in another relationship, so she is quick to find another person or they have already been separated for quite a bit of time before this came to light.

I didn't put two and two together right away, but a friend just pointed out to me that Aaron Perry IS JOE PERRY'S SON!

Dammit. Now everyone will be like “ohhh... you support that” good day to wear my STP gear too...


My favorite band. Our favorite band. There really are some dark emotions which have created this beautiful art we have all loved. This is heartbreaking to think of his family suffering IF indeed they have through his deals.


Dean always gave me some feeling he had an edge to him. But this is at another sad level.

Wow! And Robert and Dean were both playing at Joe's album release party/show only a few months ago.

I saw the article mention Aaron, but where does he fit in?

From Brett’s article - “He recently had a physical altercation with Robert DeLeo of which I have proof and photos. They are two grown men creating physical injuries on one another.”

Even his own brother isn’t safe from the wrath of Dean... It just leaves Kretzel now and then he’s had a fist fight with all of the original members of STP.

A physical altercation doesn't mean Dean was the aggressor in this specific case.

Exactly. Plus, they are brothers. Which brothers havn't had a few scuffles here and there?

Can we have dean fired?

Can we have dean fired?

"We"?


Yea, sure.  I just fired him.

I don't have a lot of hope for this blowing over, or any of this being a lie, but I am done with this band if this is all true and Dean leaves.  No Scott and no Dean.  I think Rob was also a big part of this band, but it's just not enough left.

I mean all that’s needed is a guitarist search...
