“Maybe the reason Michael Tait got away with it for so long is because a whole lot of other people in his industry are also getting away with it and this results in a culture where exposing anyone is seen as a threat to everyone,” said Winger.
On June 5, Newsboys claimed that the band was unaware of Tait’s “double life.”
Tait’s former bandmates said that they were “horrified, heartbroken, and angry at this report and in many ways. We feel as if we and our families have been deceived for the last fifteen years.”
