says he was the victim of sexual, psychological and verbal abuse at the hands of a former manager during his ascent to worldwide fame.― also known as the frontman of Treble Charger, a Canadian rock band ― of “grooming” and pressuring him to be in a sexual relationship.According to Whibley’s book, the alleged abuse began when Whibley was 16 and Nori was 34. The pair met backstage at a Treble Charger concert, with Nori moving on to become Whibley’s songwriting mentor and, later, Sum 41 ’s manager.
Whibley details one specific incident that took place when he was 18, during which Nori “passionately” kissed him in a bathroom stall after the two men had taken ecstasy. From that point on, the rock musician claims that Nori told him to pursue the relationship because “so many of my rock star idols were queer. … Most people are bisexual; they’re just too afraid to admit it.
“He would always be like, ‘You can’t have a relationship with your parents and be in a rock band. It’s not cool. It’s going to hurt your career,’” he said.
