It was not just a one-time event that the former CEO of Spire Entertainment assaulted members of Omega X during the act's recent global tour. It was a yearlong nightmare of assault - both physical and verbal - and sexual harassment, the bandmates say, and they are now taking legal action against the ex-CEO and the agency.

Omega X on Wednesday afternoon held a press conference where the group announced the termination of its exclusive contract with Spire Entertainment.
