The Juno Awards nomination follows accusations of sexual misconduct against Win Butler, who co-founded Arcade Fire with his wife Régine Chassagne.
, the Canadian Academy Of Recording Arts And Sciences rationalized the decision to nominate Arcade Fire. “We look at Arcade Fire’s nomination for group of the year as one for the entire band,” the statement read. “While we take the allegations very seriously, in this situation, we are also honouring the rest of the band for their success. We hope the allegations against Butler will not detract from the achievements of the other group members.
Three women have come forward and accused Butler of using his fame to pressure them into sexual encounters; a fourth said Butler sexually assaulted them on two occasions, including once sticking his hand into their pants without consent. Butler, who has been married Chassagne since 2003, admitted to the extramarital relationships but said all of the sexual encounters were “consensual.”
