IIRC she was accused of rape but I don’t know what happened next. I haven´t heard anything about it since, but it was pretty shocking news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaKD Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) 20 minutes ago, Daillon said: Do you mean in terms of an actual criminal case? Nothing.  In the immediate aftermath, Melanie put out an incredibly poorly-worded statement. Her label ignored the situation and never said anything publicly, either pro or con, but they did not drop her.  Her sophomore album did OK, it’s hard to say whether she would have done better otherwise.  Her accuser/ex-friend gave up music and is currently a sex worker on OnlyFans.

roundtown Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 1 hour ago, Drew said: I don't know Morgan as a person and certainly CMT and other folks are within their rights to take what actions they see fit. That said, I think society has gone off the deep end and I'm not sure I belong in this era. Yes, it was a racial slur and probably not the first time, but that in and of itself is speculation on my part as I don't know him. We've gotten to a place where you're not allowed to make a mistake, otherwise you risk your entire career being ruined and that's pretty alarming.  This is a culmination of "mistakes" that Morgan has been making this past year+ followed by hollow apologies and pledges to work on himself and multiple second chances. At some point your second chances run out and you have to face the consequences for your stupid actions and words you choose to use. The way I see it, this was the straw that broke the camel's back. There have been several people speaking out that work within the country community that have said there's been other "mistakes" that have been swept under the rug with this dude. This guy isn't some 20 year old fresh faced naive kid, he's 27 with a kid that's only convenient to mention when he needs a fluff piece written about him to offset some other stupid thing he did.  His career isn't canceled, his rising mainstream almost a-list run is though. He'll still have a following, he'll still be able to release music, he'll still be able to play shows (like he has been), etc. I hope he seriously learns from this and grows as a person and gets help with any issues he has. And I really hope he has some good friends around him right now, and not the kind of friends that take pictures of you passed out drunk with vomit all around and post on social media, but real friends because this is something that could go south(er) very fast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The submit button glitched and it posted my post 5 times. I had to manually edit my posts and talk some random BS about S20 in order to cover my tracks.  A delete button on IDF would be really nice. Edited February 3, 2021 by disney1024 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry apparently doesn’t think it’s worth the risk to associate with him in any way right now. They may revisit it later, depending on how things go over a period of time. Edited February 3, 2021 by TeamAudra 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
