In a stark indication of family turmoil, Grohl’s teenage daughters, Violet and Harper, have deleted their Instagram accounts, possibly as a form of self-protection or silent protest.

This backlash has been compounded by revelations of Grohl’s past infidelities, including those that led to the dissolution of his first marriage to Jennifer Youngblood in 1997. The controversy has cast a shadow over Grohl’s carefully cultivated image as the ‘nice man of rock,’ with some critics suggesting he had been ‘hiding in plain sight’.Despite the upheaval, Grohl has publicly committed to being a supportive parent to his new child while working to rebuild trust with his wife and three daughters. In his Instagram statement, he wrote, ‘I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness’.
