New footage has surfaced online allegedly showing AS I LAY DYING vocalist Tim Lambesis abusing a dog, The PRP reports. This follows the release of disturbing private videos involving Lambesis late last November.
In 2013, Lambesis was arrested and convicted of soliciting a hitman to murder his estranged wife. After serving time in prison, he was released and reunited with his former bandmates to revive AS I LAY DYING.
However, the band has faced numerous lineup changes and internal turmoil. In 2022, several members departed, citing concerns about personal morals and integrity.
Lambesis, determined to keep the band alive, recruited new members and began booking shows for 2025. But that wouldn’t last, as just two month ago all members of AS I LAY DYING, including longtime guitarist Phil Sgrosso, parted ways with the band. Their statements made it evident that frontman TIM LAMBESIS was the central reason behind their exits.
This past November, disturbing videos surfaced online showing Lambesis in a highly agitated state. He has since issued a statement claiming that his wife, Dany, had abused him and that his reactions in the videos were a result of her actions. Lambesis also stated that he had filed a restraining order against her.
Following the controversy surrounding his band’s dissolution and his personal life, Tim Lambesis has recently given his first interview to Justin Wenzel, a personal branding expert and fitness coach, on Wenzel‘s podcast.
Lambesis admitted that his personal struggles, including anxiety, had significantly impacted his relationships with his bandmates, creating an insurmountable rift within the band. He said: “I chose to make it that way, but that was my own fault. It doesn’t have to be that way… living with a person in a bus and all that, I’m responsible for making sure that there is health in my own life and personal concern between the people I’m working with and I didn’t prioritize that enough.”
Lambesis further revealed that his marital dissatisfaction with Dany had been evident for at least a year.
“I think it just really comes down to the amount of anxiety I had on a relationship level, that I just carried on a regular basis, of like, not understanding,” Tim said. “I just don’t understand how you could be with a person and not be kind to them, and, like, really mess with my head to the point where I just would wake up with anxiety. I’d go to sleep with anxiety. And to me, being that version of myself, it was inevitable I was going to push everybody else away, right? Because how do you how do you connect with a person that’s drowning in anxiety constantly, but won’t talk to you about it?”
