Among the most jarring claims came from a woman named \u201cAva,\u201d who said that after striking up an online dialogue with Adams when she was 14, the two of them engaged in phone sex and had Skype calls where Adams exposed himself (the FBI has since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/fbi-ryan-adams-sexting-minor-795133\/\">opened an investigation<\/a> into the claim).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In his statement, Wisenbaker said he previously urged Adams to get help, and that he believed in \u201cforgiveness, redemption and recovery.\u201d However he added: \u201c[M]y life has become a complete shitstorm of someone else\u2019s utter delusion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Wisenbaker also admitted he was anxious about addressing the accusations out of concern for the safety of his family.
