The daughters of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Violet, 18, and Harper, 15, have recently deactivated their social media accounts amid the fallout from their father’s scandal. This decision comes after Grohl’s shocking revelation that he fathered a child with another woman while married to his wife of 21 years, Jordyn Blum.
Sydtomarket.net has confirmed that Violet and Harper deleted their Instagram profiles on Tuesday, following intense backlash from fans directed at Grohl. The rocker’s admission, which came as a surprise to many, has led to a wave of criticism and disappointment among his once-loyal followers.
Grohl, who has long been celebrated for his image as a dedicated family man and one of the music industry’s “good guys,” took to Instagram to announce the news. He wrote: “I’ve recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage. I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.” He continued by expressing his love for his wife and children and his commitment to regaining their trust: “I love my wife and children and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness.”
Despite Grohl’s attempt to make amends, the reaction from the public has been harsh. Fans took to social media to voice their disillusionment, with many expressing shock and disappointment. Comments like, “There goes my hero,” and “Ahh, so disappointing. Always thought he was the last ‘good guy-good role model’ musician,” reflect the sentiment that Grohl’s actions have tainted his previously unblemished reputation.
Grohl, 55, and Blum, 48, have been a prominent couple in the public eye, often praised for their stable family life. Grohl’s recent actions have starkly contradicted the image he had cultivated over the years. In his post, Grohl acknowledged the impact of his actions and the difficulty of regaining trust: “We’re grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.”
This controversy comes after Grohl had previously spoken about how fatherhood had changed his life and career. In a 2009 interview with TIME Magazine, he shared how his priorities had shifted significantly since becoming a father, noting a change in how he approached his work and personal life. He had previously expressed that the life he envisioned for himself after his band’s career would start once he had children, emphasizing his dedication to being present for them.
The scandal has not only affected his personal life but has also led to criticism of his professional persona. Fans and commentators have been vocal about their disappointment, with many feeling that Grohl’s public image as a wholesome and reliable figure has been severely damaged. The affair and the birth of his love child have become major talking points, with some fans expressing disbelief that such a respected figure in rock music could be involved in such controversy.
In addition to his personal turmoil, Grohl’s announcement has led to intense scrutiny and speculation about his future, both as a musician and as a public figure. His efforts to address the situation and repair his reputation are ongoing, as he faces the challenge of rebuilding trust with his family and fans.
