Statement on SKVLK Fest 2026: There Was No Stabbing

Issued by PR STARPOWER, publicist for SKVLK Fest.

Reports that a guest was stabbed at SKVLK Fest 2026 are false. No one was stabbed. There was no “bloodbath” and no “bloody chaos.”

During the festival on Saturday, November 7, two teenagers had a brief scuffle and one received a minor scratch. Deputies from the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office responded.

SKVLK Fest 2026 celebrated Anelise’s 18th birthday with family, friends, community members, artists and creators, and it was a wonderful night.

The sensationalized reports that followed are false and unfair to the family, to the young people involved, and to everyone who attended. Publishing them without confirming the facts was reckless. PR STARPOWER, on behalf of the family, has demanded that every outlet that published the stabbing claim correct or retract it immediately.
