Alice Glass has said that she used to “romanticise” the idea of quitting Crystal Castles to work at Burger King during her final years in the band.
Glass announced her departure from Crystal Castles in 2014, accusing her former bandmate Ethan Kath of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse in a statement issued during October 2017.
Kath denied the claims at the time and responded by suing Glass for defamation. Glass recently revealed that the lawsuit had been dismissed.
Now, speaking to Pitchfork, Glass claims that when she’d threaten to leave Crystal Castles during their final years together, Kath would respond by calling her a high-school drop-out and asking if she would prefer to work at Burger King instead.
“I started to romanticise working at Burger King,” Glass told Pitchfork, with the report describing how “quitting Crystal Castles to flip burgers would mean that she could at least hang out with her friends and have her own phone”.
“Is this how I want to spend the rest of my life? Is this what I want to be doing?” Glass says she would think at the time.
