The Christian music icon Michael Tait, known for hits like “God’s Not Dead,” is facing serious allegations of sexual assault from multiple men. These accusations, revealed after Tait’s Instagram confession, detail incidents of drug use, unwanted touching, and sexual advances dating back to the early 2000s. Despite his public image as a devout Christian artist, sources claim his alleged behavior was an open secret in the industry.
Young men, who grew up listening to Tait’s music, shared disturbing encounters where they felt manipulated and targeted by the star. Stories of drugging, molestation, and inappropriate advances paint a troubling picture of Tait’s private life contrasting with his public persona. Victims describe feeling starstruck and then betrayed by the man they once idolized.
Tait’s career, spanning decades in Contemporary Christian Music, took a dramatic turn when allegations surfaced earlier this year. A viral TikTok video outing Tait as gay preceded his departure from Newsboys, with band members acknowledging his admission of a double life. The revelations have shaken the faith of fans and raised questions about the true nature of a man once hailed as a role model in the Christian music industry.
As victims come forward with their stories, Tait’s fall from grace serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of idolizing public figures and the complexities of maintaining a public image while living a hidden reality. The impact of these allegations on both the industry and Tait’s legacy remains to be seen, as the truth behind the facade continues to unravel.
