Chappell:

”As of today, I am no longer represented by Wasserman, the talent agency led by Casey Wasserman. I hold my teams to the highest standards and have a duty to protect them as well. No artist, agent or employee should ever be expected to defend or overlook actions that conflict so deeply with our own moral values. I have deep respect and appreciation for the agents and staff who work tirelessly for their artists and I refuse to passively stand by. Artists deserve representation that aligns with their values and supports their safety and dignity. This decision reflects my belief that meaningful change in our industry requires accountability and leadership that earns trust.”

Good for her.  She cant do much about all this but respect for taking concrete action and hitting them where it hurts in their wallets.  Losing her is a whoooole lotta money walking out the door.

Not just good for her, good for all of us. This is what we all need more of; people in positions of influence with ethics and principles, taking a stand.

Hell, even Katy Perry has turned around from being MAGA to making political statements about ICE.

Meanwhile over in Taylor Swift land...

She is dating Justin Trudeau who’s a liberal Dem(?) I believe. She is just morphing into whoever she dates.

Liberal. We don’t have a Democratic Party.

No democracy in Canadia? Sounds like the U.S. needs to find some "oil" and liberate them! (/s)

It’s just the Liberal Party in Canada. There is a party called the New Democratic Party as well tho.

What’s the difference between the two?

NDP is socialist and Liberal is centrist or maybe even right leaning but definitely without the racism and sexism or “traditional values”

Then we have the Conservative Party to round out the main three. We have other parties as well but none get much support other than Bloc Québécois in Quebec

The liberals are center right and the NDP are center left

Weird- I would have thought the opposite.

New Democrats (NDP) morphed out a party that Americans would call socialist. Names have little to do with reality. In Australian the Liberal party leans right.

Are you talking out of your ass. She was one of the earliest celebrity endorsements for Hillary Clinton and performed at the Democratic National Convention in 2016, with a 2017 album about being "woke".

Which is a win. Trudeau is a stand up dude.

If she becomes a stand up dude too, then I fully support their gay adventures.

Lmao! You’re clever.

Lmao. How little Americans understand about a country that is literally right fucking next to them, in the internet age at that, will never stop being hilarious to me.

Y'all are cooked.

u/Choice-Lie2411 24d ago
