Country music star Jason Aldean was dropped by his public relations firm on Friday amid continued fallout from his wife’s comments condemning transgender surgery for children, which the establishment news media have construed as “transphobic.”
Nashville’s The GreenRoom, which represents many top country music artists, cut ties with Jason Aldean on Friday but didn’t mention the media storm around Brittany Aldean.
“Music 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,” company co-founder Tyne Parrish said in a statement to Billboard. “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.”
Brittany Aldean found herself in hot water this month following a series of Instagram posts which she condemned transgender surgery for minors.
“Advocating for the genital mutilation of children under the disguise of love and calling it ‘gender affirming care’ is one of the worst evils,” she wrote in an Instagram Stories post. In a separate post, she said she was glad her parents didn’t “change her gender” during her “tomboy phase.”
Jason Aldean commented to his wife’s post: “Lmao!! I’m glad they didn’t too, cause you and I wouldn’t have worked out.”
On Thursday, Brittany Aldean explained her position during an appearance on Fox News’ Tucker Carlson Tonight.
“I’m advocating for children,” she said. “I think that children should not be allowed to make these life-changing decisions at such a young age. They are not mature enough. They should have parents that love them and advocate for them regardless. We have ages on everything, right? We have it for cigarettes, we have it for driving, we have it for military, voting.”

Good for her. People afraid to take a stand are worthless.
When do C&W “stars” start pushing back….so, that a country boy can survive?
@jasonaldean
We should make sure we all follow him to show support.
Heck, even early 2000s was not this bad.
Agreed. I am going to travel 200 miles to see the Trump rally tomorrow night in Wilkes-Barre, PA. We are traveling with another patriot couple that lives in our neighborhood.
We need to stand up to this nonsense and support MAGA.
For those not familiar with the song, check it out.
Even if you are not a country fan, I believe you will all like the song and appreciate the lyrical sentiments.
I’ll support him and his wife by attending a concert if they are in the area.
Because COUNTRY music as we’ve always known it is dead. Listen to “Murder On Music Row”......I don’t particularly care for Aldean but the music industry has gone woke. I’m just glad to be old enough to see country music from the 50’s to the early 2000’s. I couldn’t tell you 2 musicians from today in country music.....(eyes rolling)
No, it certainly wasn’t. But I’d rather listen to Prince, Michael Jackson, and watch Miami Vice & Magnum PI. Instead of Limp Bizkit, Korn, and watch CSI & Gilmore Girls...
Thank you, will do.
Would you like to spit some Beechnut in their eyes?...
Being cancelled by lunatic leftists is to a country music star what having gunshot wounds and a rap sheet is to a hip hop act.
Instant popularity.
She was right. Jason married a good person.
She is talented...
Terrible self-inflicted PR for a PR firm.
They are forcing their other clients to align with their extremist position or leave.
The smart thing would be for the agents to quit, then the clients can follow the agents somewhere else without making any political statement.
Thumbs up to Brittany Aldean and her husband, what’s-his-name.
Big deal. PR firms are a dime a dozen. Some schmucks take themselves too seriously.
Both of them.😁
SAG black list good.
Box office poison list bad.
Can you spell hypocrite?
