Country star Jason Aldean, who is a five-time Grammy Award nominee, has been dropped by his public relations firm in Nashville called “GreenRoom.”
This announcement came following comments by Aldean’s wife, Brittany, who opposes gender transition surgeries for children.
GreenRoom co-owner Tyne Parrish said, “Music has always been and remains The GreenRoom’s core focus, so we had to make the 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.”
Critics have slammed GreenRoom over its decision.
Brittany Aldean has refused to back down from her position against the genital mutilation of children despite GreenRoom’s efforts to normalize the gender transitioning for children.
Aldean said, “Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender-affirming care is one of the worst evils.”
‘I will always support my children and do what I can to protect their innocence,” she added.
Liberal country music artist Cassadee Pope responded to Aldean by saying, “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.”
Aldean said that her young son Memphis recently wanted to become a dinosaur and that her baby daughter Navy may want to be a cat in the future.
“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,” Aldean declared.
“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 tomboy phase without changing my gender.”
In a post shared on Aug. 31, Aldean added, “Per usual, my words have been taken out of context over the last week.”
Aldean also used the post to promote her “Barbie-inspired” collection of conservative-themed merchandise. The clothing line features T-shirts and sweatshirts emblazoned with the words: “Don’t Tread On Our Kids.”
