Co-Creator of Rick and Morty and founder of Squanch Games, developers of High on Life Justin Roiland has now shared a statement about the allegations of domestic abuse.
Earlier this year, Roiland was accused of domestic abuse and was charged with battery and false imprisonment, which was filed by his former partner. US network Adult Swim cut ties with him after that. Today, it was announced via Polygon that the charges have been dismissed. The District Attorney in California spokesperson has now revealed that this happened due to “insufficient evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt.”
Roiland has now shared a statement on his personal Twitter account.
“I have always known that these claims were false – and I never had any doubt that this day would come,” Roiland stated. “I’m thankful that this case has been dismissed but, at the same time, I’m still deeply shaken by the horrible lies that were reported about me during this process.
“Most of all, I’m disappointed that so many people were so quick to judge without knowing the facts, based on solely on the word of an embittered ex trying to bypass due process and have me ‘canceled’. That it may have succeeded, even partially, is shameful. However, now that the legal case has ended, I’m determined to move forward and focus both on my creative projects and restoring my good name.”
