Dylla write on Facebook: "Spending the beautiful day on the lake with my boyfriend. Not answering messages or texts or emails, though I thank you all for the kind words and support. It's good to know the music industry never changes.

"For clarification I was told in January in a meeting that the band would be taking a year off and that they would not be using my character in the upcoming storyline, but that I would be invited back in the future if the gigs were right for the character. We both said that we would not say anything publicly about it which is why I never did.

"That is wholly different than finding out via metal news sites and random fan messages that they are indeed using your character and getting someone else to play it, and thus not inviting you back. Basic respect would have thought someone would have cared enough as a friend to let me know this personally before broadcasting it to the world.

"I'm strong but I'm still a girl with feelings. That's just beyond disrespectful and I am very disappointed in you all, no matter what reason you had for being dissatisfied with me you still have a responsibility to handle things in a professional manner and with respect for other people's legacy and feelings.

"I designed that character with Matt Maguire, came up with the name, worked on the costume, developed the entire character because Gwar told me just to make it up and try my best. I tried my best and people liked it. I think Brockie would have been proud.

"Yes, I drink beer. Almost every day. Find me a group of metal musicians who think that is weird. No, I don't perform incapacitated and never have. Yes, I can handle my sh*t. No, I don't do drugs. Yes, I broke my rib and kept singing through the rest of the set and the crowd never noticed. No, I didn't break it because I was drunk, I broke it because I elbow dropped the wrong part of the Mr. Perfect costume trying to put on a good show.

"Anyone who has ever worked in the ring with me knows I constantly injure myself because I am clumsy as f***. Yes, I called fan art "bad"- privately and to my friends on my private page, because it was technically bad, and amazingly so. Was that meant as an insult? No. Anyone who knows me knows I love bad art.
