Nashville publicity firm The Green Room represented Jason Aldean for 17 years. Tyne Parrish, co-owner of the firm, made the following statement to Billboard regarding the split:
“Music has always been and remains The GreenRoom’s core focus, so we had to make the difficult decision after 17 years to step away from representing Jason. We aren’t the best people for the gig anymore but will always be big fans of his music — he is one of the greatest live entertainers in country music.”
Publicist The Green Room Split Comes Right After Aldean’s Transphobic Comments
While The Green Room has not specifically said that the reason for the split is because of Brittany Aldean’s transphobia, the timing seems clear. Brittany initially ruffled feathers when she posted a before and after makeup video on Instagram on August 23. She captioned the video:
“I’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life.”
Aldean followed up her post with an Instagram story, in which she clarified her thoughts on gender and transgender youth.
“Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care’ is one of the worst evils,” Brittany Aldean wrote. “I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence. The other day Memphis wanted to be a dinosaur and tomorrow Navy will want to be a cat. They’re children. Some parents want to be accepted by society so badly that they’re willing to make life-altering decisions for their children who aren’t old enough to fully comprehend the consequences of those actions. Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions. Thankful my parents allowed me to go through my tom boy phase without changing my gender.”
The Public Has Mixed Reactions, Many Offended on Behalf of LGBTQ+ Community
Singer-songwriter Cassadee Pope referred to Brittany Aldean’s statements in a Twitter post.
“You’d think celebs with beauty brands would see the positives in including LGBTQ+ people in their messaging. But instead here we are, hearing someone compare their “tomboy phase” to someone wanting to transition. Real nice.”
This led to a discussion about Brittany’s apparent transphobia, with some people siding with Pope and others with Aldean. Aldean was referred to as “Insurrection Barbie” (partly because of other political statements and inferences made in the past) and others called Pope out for being irrelevant.
Jason Aldean and his wife have always been outspoken about their political beliefs, which are staunchly Republican. However, it should be noted that it is possible to have any political identity and still support the LGBTQ+ community. Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that we as a society are still learning and evolving.
Anything to make news I agree totally with her all she said is that the child should be mature person before they make those life decisions if my child when they are more mature wants agender change that’s fine with me but not a decision a child should be allowed to make the change their minds on who and what they want on regular basis
hey pat if ya took time to research instead of blindly swallowing the rederic posted on line you would learn that the only thing done to trans children is they are given medicine to temporarily pause puberty. No surgery is done and that medicine given once stopped puberty will take place.And that child will become the woman or man they were ment to be it gives that child the chance to figure out their self and their body no one is forcing that child to undergo grs. Leagaly no dr worth his license would touch a child to change gender untill they are legal age. So go put your paranoia in a box and bury it in the local dump cause you are drinking some bad koolaid. My dad allways told me if you want to judge some one first live their life and learn what its like before you assume you know what their life is like. Then you might actually learn something
GOD DOES NOT MAKE MISTAKES.
GOD MAKES YOU FEMALE THEN YOU ARE A FEMALE SAME AS MALE. GOD KNEW 1000 yrs Ago
Your GENDER. From what o have read, brittney and Jason are Christians so we don’t believe that God makes mistakes
She is not transphobic, rather, she is truth telling
momma gump said it best stupid is as stupid does just because you have a tiny bit of power does not give you the right to act like a knowit all jerk. The best think you can do is keep your opinions to your self no one asked this woman about her beliefs but she did it any way with a snoide remark that deserves to be addressed as rusde crude and ill mannered if shes like this how is she raiseing hewr children to think?
some of these responses are so ridiculous it’s beyond anything. bad spelling, bad grammar and yes it’s “only medicine” however it blocks the growth, and the boys who take this “altering med” stop the growth of their testicles, penis and hormones. Yes it begins puberty when it’s stopped however the destruction of the growth does not begin over again
temporarly stops once the meds are gone puberty happens as its ment to the medicines simply put a pause on the [puberty it does not erase it does not eradicate it just says whooooooooooooo horsey all of you that are acting out raged need to stop step back and listen to the children that want this you are so sure you know whats best but none of you i say none of you have a freacking clue as to how these children are living their life the struggles they have you havent 1 iota of a clue as to what its like to be them but you are automaticly 100% sure you know that you know the answer is what you want it to be even though it is not
New research from the Trevor Project’s 2022 National Survey on LGBTQ Youth Mental Health underlines a consistent trend: Lesbian, gay, bi, and transgender teens are at increased risk of suicide. One of the most diverse surveys of LGBTQ youth ever conducted, the research examined LGBTQ teen suicide rates and protective factors. The respondents included a high percentage (45 percent) of LGBTQ youth of color, and 48 percent were transgender or nonbinary youth.
One of the most startling statistics: 50 percent of LGBTQ teens (ages 13–17) seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. And 18 percent actually made a suicide attempt. That’s more than twice the rate of suicide attempts among all US teens, which is 9 percent. The new research sheds light on the critical importance of suicide prevention in LGBTQ youth. Parents, teachers, mentors, and policymakers must help ensure that LGBTQ teens receive ongoing support and access to mental healthcare resources. do you understand how wrong you are yet??????????????????????? all of you socalled adults who think you know everything are actually clueless and want the world to think you know it all only way you will know what a transgender child is going thru is to be that child litteraly only then can you know what its truely like to be that child
It’s amazing how ignorant insurrection Barbie really is. Her homeschool education really showing
I just bought Cassadee Popes t-shirt. Proceeds go to help transgender kids.
Just think . . . had I decided to change my gender post puberty, I might have never had a chance at being your father! Doesn’t matter anyway, I suppose, since some Neanderthal looking fellow done went and beat me across the fence!
It doesn’t need to be forced on people either… If your gay good for you if your straight good for you.. People need to shut up and move on. I’m glad Brittany is for the children to make up their minds when they decide it’s not about having another number for one or the other it’s what the child decides when they are ready. Get over it…
How can one be so ignorant? No parent would ever consider changing their child’s sexual identity just for being more feminine or masculine. Not a clue.
I see nothing wrong in her making her feelings known. Why can some people say what they want to say and it’s okay, but others can’t voice their opinions?
I do not like her husband or her at all. It has nothing to do with her uneducated remarks, I have hated both of them since they were caught cheating while he had a wife and kids at home. We already know that Jason and slut barbie are horrible people, why are we shocked about this? Let his music and fame die, I hope, and she will leave him before he hangs up the phone. She is only there for the better, the health, and the single most important thing to her, the wealth.
