Country Star Jason Aldean has just become another victim of cancel culture.
Days after Jason Aldean’s wife Brittney made comments about gender-affirming care for transgender children, The Dirt Road Anthem singer’s PR firm then served their ties with him.
Brittney’s comments were in no way hateful either, the country star’s wife was just quoted saying “really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase.”
Unlike other artists in the music industry, Jason and his wife Britney have stood up to woke culture and have publicly shown their support for Trump on several occasions.
His wife doesn't believe CHILDREN can decide if they are going to be a different gender than the one Nature assigned them and for that, her HUSBAND is being 'canceled' by some ridiculous PR firm.

The Hill had more details to add:
Country singer Jason Aldean has been dropped by his longtime PR firm days after his wife, Brittany Aldean, made critical comments about gender-affirming care for trans children.
“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,” said Tyne Parrish, the co-owner of The Green Room, in a statement first shared with Billboard. Parrish also confirmed the news to Variety.
“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,” Parrish told Billboard.
The Green Room, based in Nashville, declined to specify why Aldean was dropped. A representative for the firm did not respond on Friday to request for more information.
News of the Green Room’s decision followed backlash against Aldean’s wife, Brittany Aldean, who wrote last week in an Instagram post that she would “really like to thank my parents for not changing my gender when I went through my tomboy phase.”
Singer and songwriter Cassadee Pope responded to Brittany Aldean’s post on Twitter, saying that Brittany Aldean’s alleged “tomboy phase” in no way compares “to someone wanting to transition.”

From PageSix:
Just one week after igniting backlash online, the “You Make It Easy” hitmaker, 45, is suffering the blowback from his wife’s remarks.
“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,” Tyne Parrish, co-owner of Nashville-based The GreenRoom, told Billboard on Thursday.
“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.”
The GreenRoom’s clients include fellow country stars Dierks Bentley, Rascal Flatts, Thomas Rhett, Lady A and Brett Young.
The firm’s decision to part ways with the singer comes just days after Brittany claimed her transphobic Instagram Reel was “taken out of context.”
“Per usual, my words have been taken out of context over the last week. Instead of getting twisted about the twisting of my words, I’ve chosen to bring some good out of it,” she captioned the Instagram post.
