The writer Dolly Samson, the wife of David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and who was a partner in writing songs for a band, made harsh accusations against the founder of the band, Roger Waters and, among other things, attacked him with the words "You are anti-Semitic to the core" and "Putin supporter".
Waters and Gilmour have had a strained relationship for decades.
The confrontation this time was created after Waters attacked the "Israeli lobby" on the grounds that it tried to "silence" him in light of his upcoming performances in Germany.
A number of local politicians and religious leaders called for the cancellation of the performances due to his statements against Israel in the past.
In a recent interview with Waters for a German newspaper, Waters said that he thought it was "very sad" that his former bandmates released their first single in 30 years in support of Ukraine, called "Hey Hey Rise Up".
Samson tweeted yesterday: "Roger Waters, unfortunately you are anti-Semitic to the core. Also a Putin supporter and liar, thief, hypocrite, tax raiser, lipsync, misogynist, jealous, megalomaniac. Enough with your nonsense."
Her husband David Gilmour, who since Waters left Pink Floyd in the mid-1980s serves as the leader of the band, shared the tweet and wrote: "Every word is true without a doubt."

Waters responded on his Twitter account with a message according to which he is "aware of the inflammatory and inaccurate comments made about him on Twitter by Polly Samson, which he completely refutes", and added that "he is currently consulting on his position".
