  "account": "Neil Perry, a member of the country band Band Perry, has made a public statement claiming that his sister, Kimberly Perry, pushed him out of the group in June 2024. Perry, who announced the launch of his new project WOLVESofJUNE, alleges that his sister's decision to bring her husband, Johnny Costello, into the band was the catalyst for his departure. Perry stated that the situation had become more than just a lineup change, as it involved instability and broken trust that affected his ability to move forward. He expressed his disappointment that his financial interests and access to the band's platforms and resources were also lost. Perry claims he had asked his sister not to misrepresent his support for the current version of the band, but the situation became irreparable by May 2024, with Reid Perry stopping engagement in both personal and business matters. Ultimately, Perry was forced out of the band due to the 2/3 partnership agreement and his inability to continue touring under those circumstances.",
