A recent event has left me stunned. I’m not referring to a video I created criticizing a certain individual for inserting themselves into a controversy surrounding a popular singer. Instead, I’m talking about the astonishing chain of events that unfolded afterwards.
Before I share the details, let me provide some context. I hadn’t planned on watching a documentary about the singer’s music rights; it seemed like a money grab. However, after receiving a surprising message, I decided to watch it. I must say, without exaggeration, that it was a complete waste of my time.
The documentary attempts to present both sides of the story, but it’s clear that it’s biased towards the individual involved. Speaking objectively, neither the singer nor her fans come out looking good. The individual, however, doesn’t fare well either, especially in the beginning. But it soon becomes apparent that the documentary is a thinly veiled attempt at redemption.
What’s lacking in this documentary, as in many stories told with an agenda, is nuance. Nuance is the most critical factor in any narrative. It’s what makes a story believable and allows for interpretation. When a story is presented in black-and-white terms, with no room for interpretation, it’s often a sign that the truth is being manipulated or hidden.
Knowing all this, I created my video. After watching the documentary, my opinions remain unchanged. A “friend” sent the video to the individual, who instead of ignoring it, decided to respond. This response is what I find astonishing.
In essence, the individual tried to pull off a massive business deal that benefited themselves, but the singer outsmarted them. That’s why this incident still bothers them. They’d rather the singer look crazy than admit their own failures.
I received a message from the individual, claiming that if we ever met, I would be treated with kindness. This is rich coming from someone who’s been trying to manipulate the narrative and spin a web of deceit. Just because something is legal doesn’t make it admirable or fair.
The real fact is that this individual is a master manipulator who got caught trying to take advantage of the singer. They underestimated her and got crushed. Instead of admitting their mistakes, they’re trying to spin the story and make the singer look bad.
It’s sad that if they had taken a slice of humble pie and admitted their wrongdoing, things might not be so bad. But instead, we have a documentary that exposes just enough of the “wrongs” on both sides to make the singer look like the villain.
The main problem is that I know the individual wanted this message out there. They’re not stupid enough to think that I, or someone like me, would keep it to themselves. It’s insulting to think that we wouldn’t recognize the PR stunt for what it is.
The pathetic part is that the individual thinks this is a clever move. They’re trying to market their own hatred and manipulate public opinion. It’s desperate and lowly.
Instead of soul-searching, they’re sending condescending messages from their ivory tower. It’s disappointing to see such a lack of growth in so much time.
There are only a few celebrities who have openly spoken ill of the singer, and they all did something scummy to her first. On the other hand, countless others have praised her kindness, generosity, and talent.
For once, I sincerely hope the singer sees this and has a good laugh. I hope she can see through the individual’s bull and recognize their desperation.
