《THR》周三晚发布了一篇由前音乐行业高管Jeff Rabhan撰写的专栏文章，题为《Chappell Groan：一位瞬间成为行业内行者的误导性言论》（标题把Roan改成了Groan——抱怨呻吟）。随后，Halsey在她的IG story上发表了一篇长文，抨击了《THR》和Jeff Rabhan，站出来为Chappell Roan辩护。
Jeff Rabhan——曾任大西洋唱片和Elektra唱片的A&R高管——在文章中猛烈抨击了Roan的指控。他称整个事件为“陈词滥调且抄袭的剧本”。Jeff Rabhan对Chappell Roan的格莱美获奖感言进行了剖析，Chappell Roan在感言中公开批评了音乐唱片公司，认为新人艺术家应该获得可以支持生活的薪资和医疗保险。
“看起来Chappell Roan想把唱片公司变成房东、老板和保险提供商？你曾经尝试过向大型唱片公司申请报销费用吗？你竟然还想让他们负责医疗保险理赔？难道唱片公司希望明年的获奖者在6000万观众面前大声斥责他们是“贫民窟房东”吗？这种制度的设计者，Motown的开创者Berry Gordy，因Hitsville的前所未有的成功收到了不少批评，但艺术家们对他们的版税和信用感到满意，对吧？没错。
Roan获得了尊重和对其艺术才能与勇气的真正认可，但她现在还太年轻，信息也太有限，无法成为她所渴望的变革推动者。她可能会迅速成长，或许会建立一个拥有权力的关键人物网络，甚至将领导权传递给另一个有潜力的领袖，但她的格莱美致辞却像是一个老套且抄袭的剧本，体现了一个沐浴在行业宠爱中的艺术家展现了天真，还把炮火瞄准了将她推向成功的行业。如果唱片公司要负责艺术家的薪水、医疗保险和整体福祉，那么责任的界限在哪里，个人责任又从何而来？难道Chris Blackwell也要在她的枕头上放颗薄荷糖，并且晚上把她哄上床吗？按照任何标准，唱片公司并没有道德或伦理上的义务，去分配超过预付款和版税之外的额外资金。
Roan呼吁唱片公司为艺人提供足以维持生活的薪酬和医疗保险，这一初衷是高尚的——但同时也充满了误解。她的成名之路得益于网络爆红、大唱片公司的支持，以及整个行业对下一位另类流行新星的渴求，这一切都证明她已不再是一位苦苦挣扎的艺人。她应该为此采取实际行动，而不仅仅是空谈。变革需要有人去推动，而不仅仅是宣布。”
对此，Halsey发长文抨击发表了这篇客座专栏的《THR》。
“我希望你们为这篇伪装成批判性新闻的个人攻击文章感到羞愧。这远远低于你们作为一家出版物应秉持的标准。
Jeff Rabhan的咆哮和愤怒充满了假设和指责，他将每位艺术家的经历一概而论为最成功者的经历。我们的行业由成千上万的声音组成，顶层的精英并不能代表所有艺术家的单一经历。预付款（advances）——如今已很少像过去那样发放——是为了维持生存，因为你致力于创作艺术（而唱片公司随后会销售这些作品，有时甚至拿走绝大部分收益），这使你无法从事一份日常工作。这的确是一个投资游戏，但投资的方向是生产创作材料，而生产这些材料的人——即创作该作品的人——也需要像医疗保险这样的基本保障。听起来很让人震惊，是吧？
如果你想从别人的艺术中获利，那么这位艺术家应该拥有基本的生活保障，以便其能够安心创作才对。
像Chappell这样已经努力了十多年的艺术家并不是“瞬间爆火成为行业内部人士”，而将她的努力成果与像Taylor Swift这样拥有巨大权力和财务杠杆的行业巨头进行比较，是不负责任的，特别是Chappell甚至还没能够从她辛苦获得但突然爆发的成功中看到收益，这样的比较对于一个拥有丰富行业经验的人来说实在是不应该。真该为你自己感到羞耻。这是一种舔靴子（指对上位者的谄媚）的行为。”

Halsey came to Chappell Roan’s defense following The Hollywood Reporter’s viral op-ed calling out the artists Grammys speech.
THR published a column late Wednesday by former former music industry executive Jeff Rabhan called “Chappell Groan: The Misguided Rhetoric of an Instant Industry Insider” where he picked apart Roan’s Grammy win speech that included her calling out music labels. Halsey slammed both the publication and Rabhan in a long post on her Instagram Stories.
“I hope you’re embarrassed of the absolute personal attack that you’ve ran and disguised as critical journalism,” she wrote. “This is so far beneath the standard you should uphold as a publication.”
The singer went on to call Rabhan’s article a “ranting, seething tantrum” that attacked Roan’s Best New Artist acceptance speech calling out labels and holding them to task offering artists better healthcare benefits and a livable wage.
““It’s a game of investment but the investment is towards producing the materials, the person *the ORGANIC MATERIAL* that is producing that product needs access to things like health care. Shocking, I know,” she continued. “If you want to profit off of someone else’s art; that artist should have the basic living means to feel safe enough to create that art.”
In the now viral column, Rabhan – a former A&R executive at Atlantic and Elektra Records – railed against Roan’s accusations during the speech. He called the whole thing “a hackneyed and plagiarized script.”
“If labels are responsible for artists’ wages, health care and overall well-being, where does it end and personal responsibility begin? Should Chris Blackwell put a mint on her pillow and tuck her in at night, too? There is no moral or ethical obligation by any standard that hold labels responsible for the allocation of additional funds beyond advances and royalties,” Rabhan wrote.
Following Roan’s win, the hit artist used her time onstage to again say she felt discouraged coming up pursuing a dream and feeling taken advantage of or not supported by the labels working with her.
“It was so devastating to feel so committed to my art and to feel so betrayed by the system and to be so dehumanized to not have healthcare,” she said onstage. “If my label would have prioritized artists’ health, I could have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to.”

不过也从插排身上能看出来那些资本家里有多恨泰勒斯为艺人争取的权利了
