Meaghan Garvey, known most for her contributions to the Chicago based publication Pitchfork, has followed the footsteps of Dirty Projectors’ Amber Coffman tonight by exposing a music executive with some huge allegations. First taking to Twitter, to speak on Amber Coffman’s allegations that publicist Heathcliff Berru sexually assaulted here (which has since led to other women coming forward), Garvey told her followers a story in which she was victimized by an A&R rep.

Naming Gustavo Guerro of Distrolord (the marketing and distribution team who represents AraabMuzik, Young Chop and others), Garvey claims that Guerro invited her to interview rapper Chief Keef. After some partying, Garvey recounts waking up naked with little memory, with Guerro explaining “you wanted to fuck me.” According to Garvey, before she blacked out she had previously pushed Guerro (who knew Garvey was married) off of her. She also accused the A&R rep of blackmailing her with the implication that if she told others, that her husband would find out and “be so pissed.”

Of course while only two people know the exact details of what happened in this case, if what Garvey, Coffman and others say is true about some select men in the music industry, then hopefully they get everything thats coming to them in one way or another. Sexual assault is nothing to take lightly.
