Short answers, pulled from the story.
Blood on the Dance Floor is an American crunkcore and electronic group from Orlando, Florida, known for their scene-subculture fanbase, multiple Billboard-charting albums, and a long-running series of sexual abuse and child sexual abuse allegations against founder Dahvie Vanity. Their fifth album, Evolution (2012), reached the Billboard 200, and their song "Bewitched" became their best-known track.
The band's longest-running lineup consisted of Dahvie Vanity (Jesus David Torres) and Jayy Von Monroe, who performed together from 2009 to 2016. Earlier members included Garrett Ecstasy, Matty Malaret, Christopher Mongillo, and Rebecca Fugate. After Monroe's departure, Fallon Vendetta briefly joined in 2017 before Torres became the sole member.
Spotify and Google Play removed Blood on the Dance Floor's music in April 2019 for violating their guidelines on prohibited content. The removal followed at least 21 sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and rape allegations against founder Dahvie Vanity, along with investigative reporting by outlets including HuffPost and MetalSucks.
Damien Leonhardt, formerly known as Jessi Slaughter, became a viral cyberbullying target in 2010 after their father's video went viral. Dahvie Vanity and Jayy Von Monroe released a parody video and a song titled "You Done Goofed" mocking Leonhardt; Vanity deliberately released the song on Leonhardt's 12th birthday, and Leonhardt subsequently attempted suicide by overdose. Years later, Leonhardt publicly stated that Vanity had begun grooming and sexually abusing them in 2009 when they were 10 years old.
Blood on the Dance Floor released eleven studio albums before their initial breakup in 2016, including Let's Start a Riot (2008), Epic (2010), All the Rage!! (2011), Evolution (2012), and Scissors (2016). After reforming, Torres released additional albums including Kawaii Monster (2017), Hollywood Death Star (2019), and Epidemic (2025).
The band took its name directly from the Michael Jackson song "Blood on the Dance Floor," which appeared on Jackson's 1997 remix album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix. Founder Dahvie Vanity chose the name when the group transitioned from their original name, Love the Fashion, in the summer of 2007.
