\n

\tJason Aldean’s publicity firm of 17 years, Nashville-based outfit the GreenRoom, has resigned following comments posted by Aldean’s wife, Brittany, that many have considered to be transphobic.<\/p>\n

\n

\tAccording to a report in Billboard, GreenRoom co-owner Tyne Parrish did not say Brittany Aldean’s comments were the reason for the split, the timing does not seem coincidental.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cMusic 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,\u201d Parrish said in a statement to the publication. \u201cWe are n’t the best people for the gig anymore, but will always be big fans of his music \u2014 he is one of the greatest live entertainers in country music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn an Instagram post on Aug. 23, Brittany Aldean \u2014 who has 2.2 million followers \u2014 posted a before-and-after makeup video with the caption, \u201cI’d really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase. I love this girly life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tJason Aldean responded in the comments with a laughing emoji and wrote, \u201cLmao!! Im glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tThree days later, Brittany wrote, \u201cAdvocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care’ is one of the worst evils\u2026Love is protecting your child until they are mature enough as an adult to make their own life decisions.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n

\tThe comment drew negative responses from many people, including country singer Maren Morris, who wrote, \u201cIt’s so easy to, like, not be a scumbag human? Sell \u200b\u200byour clip-ins and zip it, Insurrection Barbie.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tBrittany Aldean responded, saying her comments had been \u201ctaken out of context,\u201d and also flogged a \u201cBarbie-inspired\u201d set of new conservative merchandise items. She and Jason have been outspoken in their opposition to President Joe Biden and support for right-leaning causes and opinions.<\/p>\n

\n

\tParish and a rep for Aldean did not immediately respond to Variety’s requests for comment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
