Jessie Reyez Names Producer Detail As The 'Gatekeeper' Who Sexually Harassed Her
Today (May 10), Jessie Reyez shared that music producer Detail is the man she sang about on "
Gatekeeper." On the 2017 song, Reyez describes the horrific story of a music industry insider who tempted the young star with cash, fame, and connections in return for sexual favors. Recently, two females came forward to accuse Detail of physical and sexual abuse,
TMZ reports. Reyez shared her support for the two females on Twitter and briefly instructed her story.
"One night, over 6 years back Noel ‘Detail’ Fisher tried this on me," Jessie wrote. "I was lucky and I got out before it got to this. I didn’t know what to mention or who to tell. I was scared. Fear is a real thing. The females that came out are brave as hell."
Kristina Buch and Peyton Ackley are accusing Detail of rape, assault, and turning them into his sex slaves, according to TMZ. Both Buch and Ackley were aspiring musicians. Detail is best known for his work on songs like Beyoncé's "
Drunk In Love," Wiz Khalifa's "
We Dem Boyz," and Drake's "
305 To My City."
soon as a fan asked Reyez if "Gatekeeper" was specifically about Detail, she replied "Yes." Immediately after, fellow musician
Bebe Rexha took to Instagram to back Reyez and
share a similar experience she had with Detail as soon as she was 19.
"He tried the same thing with me," Rexha wrote in part. "I was just 19. I ran out of the studio crying."
In a March interview with MTV News, Jessie described what it feels like to have people
resonate with "Gatekeeper" so intensely.
"It wasn’t premeditated, there wasn’t a blueprint," Reyez mentioned. "It’s crazy. There’s two sides of the coin, and it’s dope that people resonated with it, although it’s also shitty that people resonated with it, you know? It’s shitty that it needs to be so much of a conversation right now. It shouldn’t be. It should already be customary that that’s not OK."
Reyez continued by first up about what she hopes "Gatekeeper" will accomplish.
"All I can hope for," she mentioned, "is positivity and that more people speak up and that there really are more gentlemen talking about it as well."
Thankfully, Reyez's wish usually be coming true.
