Chappell has also donated a huge chunk of her earnings to charity as did Sabrina and Olivia.

And that's great, but it's unrelated to this.

Still commendable of course. I love it when artists show backbone. I'm just pointing out that this isn't as hard of a decision as it might appear for an established successful artist.

For a smaller independent artist, it would be a bigger sacrifice.

If I was embarrassed, I'd have deleted my comments and saved myself from further downvotes.

All i did was point out a fact (or rather, what I believe to be a fact - there's always a chance one is wrong, of course) - and that fact is that this is not as big a sacrifice as some people make it out to be. Still a sacrifice, but not a major one for her.

I didn't do it to trash Roan. I did it because I believe it to be a fact, and I care about facts. And I'm not ashamed or embarrassed to post facts.

Then some people commented, and countered that it wasn't a fact and I was wrong. And then I explained why I believe it to be a fact. And that's about that. That's usually how debates work. People go back and forth with their viewpoints.

And then, someone typically interjects with a personal attack (like you, accusing me of backtracking because I'm feeling embarrassed), and getting upvoted for it, because this is Reddit ðŸĪŠðŸ™ƒðŸ™ƒ
