That's the internet in general, once a narrative catches steam it's pretty much impossible to stop it. Sergio just timed it right, he saw Chino's offhand comment and laid out his side of the story knowing they wouldn't respond. He was also lucky that most of the redditors and internet commenters have no clue what "outta pocket" means lol. But, fortunately for Chino, he is so beloved by this community that it won't ultimately leave a scratch. He's the face of Deftones and Crosses and his other bands and it's hard to defeat pure star power. Shit, "outta pocket" is pretty much a meme in the Deftones fandom now and something Chino could use to his advantage as stage banter for future shows or something.
Shaun is obviously going to be on Chino and Deftones' side because Chino is his boy but one thing I think he is absolutely right about is Sergio bringing Chi into the whole situation. That was really lame of him and I thought he was a little classier than that but I guess I was wrong.
