New Developments in Tim Lambesis Case
Tim Lambesis’ wife Dani has addressed the emergence of additional videos showcasing the As I Lay Dying singer’s unsettling behavior online.
Back in November, Lambesis reacted after videos depicting heated disputes with his wife began circulating.
The original clips, which were shared on social media, featured Lambesis and his wife Dani engaged in a confrontation.
In one of the videos, Lambesis flips over the table where his wife is seated. As she attempts to leave, he intervenes and repeatedly punches himself while she pleads with him to stop. Another video captures the couple arguing in a bedroom, but it lacks audio.
In his November response, he accused his wife of domestic violence, alleging that she strategically timed “these public attacks” to coincide with his delivery of divorce papers.
In a statement posted on Instagram, Lambesis stated: “Dani Norris (formerly Lambesis) is currently the subject of domestic violence proceedings. Everything she says now is intended to distract people from this so they will instead focus on my own inappropriate (but not illegal) reactions to these anxiety-inducing interactions.”
“This woman attacked me and abused me verbally and mentally for three years,” he continued. “Yesterday I took the much-needed and overdue step to leave her by delivering the divorce papers. It is for this reason that attempts have been made online today to retaliate against me, which pale in comparison to what will actually be the focus of the courts.”
Dani Lambesis Responds
Subsequently, another video surfaced showing Lambesis appearing to mistreat a dog. The 30-second clip captures multiple instances of Lambesis becoming agitated with the animal, including an apparent kick and a punch, as he threatens it with clenched fists.
NME attempted to reach out to Lambesis’ representatives for comment regarding the clip.
Now, Dani Lambesis has responded to the leaked videos, asserting that she is not responsible for their release and urging the leaker to cease their actions.
Previously, she called the rumors of abuse allegations against Lambesis “totally false,” but in her new Instagram statement, she claims that the original statement was crafted by “managers” aiming to safeguard Lambesis’ image.
The statement reads: “I have not published the videos filmed by Tim Lambesis. Neither those that came out in November, nor those that surfaced today. Out of respect for me, I ask those leaking the videos to stop.”
“I will no longer remain silent out of fear of Tim. The lies he is telling in his latest statement and in this recent podcast are deliberate attempts to hide the truth and play the victim using typical DARVO tactics,” she continued, referring to the acronym for “deny, attack, change victim and perpetrator,” a method often used by abusers to shift blame onto their victims.
“I have NEVER been investigated for domestic violence, nor have I ever had a restraining order filed against me. This is public information that anyone can access online.”
