Controversy
editIn 2015, alongside his friend and business partner Adam Bravin, Patterson created the goth-oriented weekly club event Cloak & Dagger[16] in Los Angeles, California. In June 2020, the event folded amidst allegations of sexual misconduct,[17] sexual harassment[18] and discriminatory treatment against people of color.
