Deryck Whibley has responded to Greig Nori's sexual abuse denials in a new video shared to social media.

Speaking to the camera, Whibley re-affirms the allegations detailed in his new book that Nori pressured him into a sexual relationship when Whibley was a teenager and Nori was in his 30s. He also invites Nori to go under oath and address the allegations in a court of law.


Following Whibley's allegations last week, Nori issued a statement denying that he coerced Whibley, though he didn't deny they had a sexual relationship. “The accusation that I initiated the relationship is false. I did not initiate it. Whibley initiated it, aggressively,” Nori said. “The accusation that I pressured Whibley to continue the relationship is false.”

Whibley's new video says he stands behind "every word" in his book, Walking Disaster, "100 percent."

"I take no pleasure in coming out with the truth about what happened between me and my ex manager," Whibley adds. "I had to let it out."

"There's only one way to settle this: under oath, in front of a judge, in front of a jury," he continues, speaking directly to Nori and reiterating a previous statement where he invited Nori to sue him.

He concludes by thanking his band and family for love and support, and telling fans he'll see them soon. "We'll get through this, like we get through everything else."

Sum 41's final tour resumes October 21 in the Netherlands.
