More than two years after filing a libel lawsuit over anonymous allegations of sexual misconduct, Jack Barakat and his band All Time Low are still working to unmask the accuser who went online in 2021 and claimed to be a former fan abused by Barakat as an underage girl, the group’s lawyer says.
At a Wednesday morning hearing, the judge overseeing the lawsuit asked for an update on the civil case first filed back in 2022. “It’s getting kind of old,” Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy said from the bench.

When All Time Low filed a libel lawsuit last February denying anonymous claims of alleged sex abuse, the pop-punk band said it planned to use the court’s subpoena power in an aggressive bid to unmask its accusers.
This week, a Los Angeles judge sided with the band members and gave Twitter 10 days to hand over “identifying information” for Jane Doe 2, the person behind the account that posted the lengthy statement in October 2021 — the most detailed first-person account of alleged abuse referenced in the lawsuit.

The four founding members of pop-punk band All Time Low filed a libel lawsuit Thursday against at least three people who claimed in recent social media posts that the group sexually harassed or assaulted teen fans.
The bold move escalates the legal stakes for the embattled emo rockers and will undoubtedly generate even more scrutiny after the Maryland-bred quartet issued an all-caps statement last October denying the online claims.

All Time Low has issued a statement about the "unequivocally false" allegations made against its bandmates. On Monday, Oct. 25, the band posted a statement to their social media channels addressing accusations of unspecified "inappropriate behavior" that they describe as "absolutely and unequivocally false."

All Time Low is gearing up to release their new album, Future Hearts, on April 7th – and the first single off the album, “Something’s Gotta Give” is already proving to be a monster hit.
The music video for the uber-catchy new punk/pop-rock tune has already amassed over 1.5 million views on YouTube and features lead singer Alex Gaskarth roaming about in a French fry costume as he attempts to hit on a model, befriend his band-mates and cuddle a cat. Unfortunately, none of them want anything to do with the 27-year-old, but it’s not until he glances at his reflection that he understands why: He’s A Zombie. Gaskarth then goes on to infect Jack Barakat, Rian Dawson, and Zack Merrick with his zombie-bite – and in the end, he’s put out of his own misery. Yikes?

"I think everyone expected me to feel one way, they expected me to be really jealous. But it's not how I feel. We've been apart for two years. I just want him to be happy," she said. "I'm more protective than anything else. I just wanted to make sure he's making the right choice."
