Ellefson wrote in the lengthy caption, "As you may or not know, some private and personal conversations and interactions have surfaced online, released with ill intention by a third party who was not authorized to have them or share them. While certainly embarrassing, I want to address it as openly and honestly as possible."

"The other party involved has made a statement which you can see below. I thank her for doing so and hope that this clarifies that the situation was not at all as presented," Ellefson concluded.

Ellefson accompanied his denial with an alleged screenshot of a statement from the woman with whom he was supposedly involved at the time.In it, the woman admitted to recording the alleged intimate communications she had with Ellefson and called herself "naive" for sharing them with a friend without the musician`s permission. 
 
"Yes, those video calls did happen, but I was the one to initiate it and never was I underage, I was always a consenting adult. Nothing inappropriate ever happened before that. It was all consensual, I`m not a victim and I have not been groomed in the slightest as I was the one to initiate it," the woman allegedly stated. 
 
As per Fox News Ellefson has been married to his wife, Julie, for 27 years. The couple shares two children, son Roman, and daughter Athena.&nbsp;
