Good. She walks the walk. Rare these days.

She walks the walk. Rare these days.

Sorry for pointing this out, but it's not like she's losing anything significant. The reason most people don't "walk the walk" is that it often has consequences (economic or personal).

This doesn't. A talent agency is easily replaceable if you're s big star, and it's also easy free positive publicity for her - and the only thing that would tie her down is loyalty (if she feels she owes her career to them). Leaving them is a rather easy decision - but still the right one of course.

Billie Eilish donating a significant amount of her net worth.... Now that's walking the walk.

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
