Posted December 15, 200618 yr I'm not sure why she's saying it but there you go. And yes it's her. She's been a poster in another Ev forum for a long time. 1) I've known Amy and Ben for many years. YES, they were engaged. 2) YES he abused her - Physically, and Emotional. 3)He will never admit to doing it because he is in denial about it. 4) the rest of the band did not know about the abuse because Amy was embarressed and never told anyone. I know why Ben left the band. I was there!! He made the right decision to leave otherwise he would have been killed by the rest of the guy's in the band!!! 5)Amy and Ben broke up right before going into the studio. Ben always wanted her back. She was over that relationship and had moved on. I know these things because I was there for all of it. I was on the road with them. It is your choice if you want to believe me or not. I will not argue about this. I know the truth. Just remember, the band has forgiven Ben and still talk to him. Amy will never repair that relationship. She has moved on. Can we all stop fighting about this? Renee I'm so happy Amy dumped him and gave us an amazing song like "The Last Song I'm Wasting On You". I hope she's fine now. :wub: Edited December 15, 200618 yr by Filthy or Gorgeous
December 15, 200618 yr That's an ancient post, it should stay in the past. Everyone was fighting over what happened between Amy and Ben and there were all sorts of accusations and Renee kind of had no choice but to post to quieten everyone down. It wasn't nice... I'm happy Amy got out of such a relationship (although subsequently ended up in 2 more situations where the same happened) but I'm more sad that she had to go through it in the first place. I'm not really glad the song 'The Last Song I'm Wasting On You' was made because had she never have gone through such hate she wouldn't have ever had to be in such pain. It's really heartbreaking. :( She might not ever be 'fine' but atleast now that Ben is gone she has the chance to try and grow and try and let the memory fade...

What do you mean about the other 2 situations? I don't follow Amy's life and relatinships closely. I know she's dating her therapist now but that's about it... She also had that relationship with Sean but I don't know what happened. Of course TLSIWOT didn't make it worth it. I just love that song. It's one of the saddest Evanescence songs and now that I know when it's about... Edited December 15, 200618 yr by Filthy or Gorgeous
December 15, 200618 yr Well Sean had alcohol problems, he didn't always treat Amy the way he should have been. December 7th last year Amy also filed a case against her former manager, Denis Rider, for sexual assault and battery among other things.

I noticed something was weird about her during the Fallen era. She probably got fed up one day, broke up with her lame boyfriend and fired her manager. Amy :wub:
December 17, 200618 yr Author So Ben wrote "Understanding"? "The pain that grips you The fear that binds you Releases life in me" "Tell me you will live through this And I will die for you..." I'm Probably completely off but I like it. :) Edited December 17, 200618 yr by Filthy or Gorgeous
