While Alison expressed empathy for disappointed fans, she also shared her surprise at the level of online harassment she’s endured. “I was really surprised by the amount of hate and harassment I have gotten since,” she wrote, referring to constant criticism across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok.

Acknowledging the rave community’s core values of peace, love, unity, and respect (PLUR), Alison made a heartfelt plea for understanding. “What I am dealing with in my private life right now is painful enough,” she wrote. She also hinted at sharing more about her surgery in the future but admitted she’s still processing it herself. For now, her focus remains on healing and her music.

Here’s hoping Alison takes all the time she needs to recover and continues to bless us with her incredible music. 💙
