Kris "Rain Man" Trindl, founding member of EDM superstars Krewella, is suing the remaining members of his former band, saying the Yousaf sisters strategically forced him out of the band in part due to his newfound sobriety.
"The Yousaf sisters didn't like the new, sober Kris, who took care of business but did not party or drink anymore," claims the lawsuit. Yousaf said they mistook his demeanor for depression, "although he explained it was just part of the recovery process."
"At this time, Udell, the Yousaf sisters and others conspired to remove Kris from the group altogether. Now that the band was successful, they figured they could always hire outside people to write and produce music for far less money than it would cost to continue splitting their income equally with Kris, as they have done (one-third to each member)."
The Yousaf sisters responded responded in a Facebook post, saying, "there are two sides to every story," and asking fans to reserve judgement "until we are able to respond to the lawsuit with the truth.
