The Flaming Lips recently fired their longtime drummer Kliph Scurlock under mysterious circumstances, after which allegations surfaced that Scurlock was booted for criticizing Christina Fallin–daughter of Oklahoma governor Mary Fallin and good friend of Lips frontman Wayne Coyne–for posting photos of herself wearing a Native American headdress. Now, Scurlock has spoken up in a statement sent in to Pitchfork that paints a very uncomfortable image of Coyne and the band.

According to Scurlock, tension between him and Coyne started after Fallin issued a “non-apology” for her photo, which Scurlock criticized. This allegedly led to Coyne harassing him with text messages calling him a “punk coward” and telling Scurlock to “go stick up for your Indian friends if it’s so important to you.”

Among other things, Scurlock also accused Coyne of trying to censor him on his personal social media accounts, and he also claims that Coyne wanted him to start a fight with the Black Keys over a quote in a Rolling Stone interview. He further alleges that Coyne threw out a finished song recorded with Deerhoof for the band’s Heady Fwendz album because he wanted to redo the song with Kesha.

Scurlock’s full statement is available on Pitchfork‘s website. So far, no one associated with the Flaming Lips has responded to Scurlock’s allegations.
