Nikolas is suing Milosh for sexual violence because, she and her attorneys allege, “Milosh made advances, solicitations, solicitations and sexual demands intentionally, recklessly and unpretentiously for sexual compliance of a hostile nature based en [Nikolas’] unwanted, widespread and severe gender ”.

Nikolas also states that while he was a minor, Milosh made “sexually inappropriate comments [her]”He asked her to expose herself to him.” [him]”She asked” her to send explicit photos of herself, “she asked” to meet [her] to satisfy her sexual desires, “and she shared” nude photographs of other women in [her]”.

Pitchfork has contacted representatives of Michael Milosh.


In her lawsuit, obtained by Pitchfork, Alexa Nikolas alleges that Michael Milosh “took advantage of the innocence of a minor fan to manipulate her and force her to succumb to her repeated sexual assaults.” She and her lawyers also write, “Milosh used his power of authority and antiquity [Nikolas], as well as years of sexual preparation [Nikolas] when he was a minor, to manipulate her and trust him. Gaining his trust, defendant Milosh terrorized, sodomized, and mistreated [Nikolas] as part of their ongoing conduct aimed at satisfying their purifying and economic desires. “

The allegations in the lawsuit largely coincide with the allegations Nikolas made in an open letter called “Groomed by the Groom.” In the letter, Nikolas stated that he started talking to Milosh when he was 16 and he was 33, a statement he made earlier in a 2018 interview with Vers.

The lawsuit reiterates the allegation that Nikolas and Milosh first contacted her when she was 16 and he was 33. At that age, in 2008, Nikolas allegedly “contacted Milosh through his Myspace page, complementing his music and commenting that she would like to see him perform the next time he is in Los Angeles ”. Milosh responded and the two ended up talking on the phone for more than an hour, according to the lawsuit.

“For almost two years, Nikolas and Milosh talked on the phone, text messages and video chat via Skype,” the lawsuit says. During this time, while Nikolas was a minor, Milosh “repeatedly [asked] I’ll see [Nikolas] in person, take pictures of him and [requested] she sends him explicit photographs of herself, “according to the lawsuit.” Nikolas agreed, “the lawsuit says,” undressing and revealing her naked body several times. “

According to the lawsuit, Nikolas and Milosh met in person when Nikolas was 18 and then “Milosh prepared and forced Nikolas to believe that she was in love, that he loved her, and that they had a real connection and a consensual relationship.” He states that, in his first meeting, “Milosh began to put pressure [her] to take off the clothes “and also” supplied [her] with excess alcohol to manipulate her easily and continued to encourage her [her] undress “.

The lawsuit also describes an incident of alleged sexual abuse:

After Nikolas took off his clothes, Milosh immediately began digitally penetrating Nikolas into the anus. Nikolas asked Milosh to stop, but he refused. Nikolas told Milosh that the penetration hurt, but he ignored it. The pain was so intense that it caused Nikolas to burst into tears. Milosh deliberately ignored Nikolas’ explicit non-consent and simply assured him that he would eventually enjoy the experience.
