Roiland’s former fans and dates described disturbing interactions with the animator, with many playing out over texts. One woman said the ‘Rick and Morty’ creator sexually assaulted her, another said she was left ‘traumatized.’ (Warning: This article contains expclicit language.)
At that time, Roiland released a“I have always known that these claims were false — and I never had any doubt that this day would come,” he wrote, adding that “horrible lies” were reported about him during the case.
Janna Waters, who is nonbinary, was one of the people who posted screenshots of their online conversations with Roilandsaid they started talking to Roiland in 2016 when he was 35. Waters said they were 16 and in high school at the time. Screenshots show the two chatted intermittently on Twitter direct messages over the years, and later exchanged numbers and texted back and forth.
The woman told Roiland she was 20 and couldn’t buy drinks herself but would be interested in meeting up.That night, the woman said Roiland took her to a restaurant near the site of the gaming convention and bought her mixed drinks. She took a video on Snapchat that showed the two of them together and the woman drinking a cocktail.
The woman said that she called a friend on the way home from Roiland’s hotel room and told her that Roiland had forced her to perform oral sex on him. The woman’s friend corroborated that phone call to NBC News. “I mean you said after that you thought it turned me on to be forced,” the woman wrote. “I told you that i wouldve preferred it didnt happen.”“I was like not consenting i was like saying no and other things,” the woman added in another text.The woman said in an interview that she remembered feeling scared when she texted Roiland to confront him, choosing to use phrases like “I know it was not black or white” to soften the blow.
A review of the messages showed Roiland would have similar conversations with various women at the same time, even using near-identical phrases. In response to one girl, who described her aspirations to stream herself playing video games, Roiland wrote, “I bet you’d do good,” followed by, “Then once you turn 18 you just start cam whoring,” a reference to women who do online sex work.
Some of the people were older, in their early to mid 20s, when Roiland started talking to them. Veronika Sweeney tweeted screenshots of direct messages Roiland sent her in 2014 when she was 22. Roiland asked if she had a boyfriend, and Sweeney responded that she wasn’t interested in men. Like most people who spoke to NBC News, Sweeney said she spoke out when she realized his conversation with her was part of a larger picture that included more serious allegations.
The last time Waters and Roiland talked was in May 2020. Waters said they used to view Roiland as a friend and mentor, but now they believe Roiland “groomed” them, having only reached out to begin a relationship that could one day turn sexual. The woman was shocked and thrilled. “I AM NOT OKAY RIGHT NOW THE CO CREATOR OF RICK AND MORTY SAID MY ART IS GOOD,” she said in a Facebook post with screenshots of the messages.
“Ahhhh I didn’t know your whole family was so concerned about this trip!” Roiland texted her after the call.“But like, are they concerned that it wasn’t actually me or are they concerned no matter what- ,” Roiland wrote.“I will make absolute 100% sure nothing bad happens to you,” Roiland wrote, adding in another message that the woman needed to keep her ringer on during the trip in case any family members called.
In the hot tub, Roiland began asking his female friend and her to perform sexual acts on each other, which she says they did, even though the acts were painful. Then, she said Roiland had sex with her while the other woman was still there. She said she has always felt uncomfortable with the idea of having group sex.
Roiland also used the iPhone’s sticker function to attach a pornographic image of a man with several penises in his mouth to several of the messages. He sent the image 14 times in total.
