Teletubby 150,044 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Rita Ora says it's "critical" that women in the music industry support one another. The 31-year-old pop star - who was locked in a fierce legal battle with Jay-Z's record label RocNation in 2015, which prevented her from releasing music for several years - has opened up about the ageism female artists face in the music business and how important it is that women work together to "change the narrative". Speaking about supporting fellow pop star and friend Bebe Rexha who was told she was "too big" to be dressed for the Grammy Awards, Rita Ora said: "Being told what's appropriate and what's not is something most women in the music industry have experienced, myself included. Time and experience have taught me how critical it is for women to support each other in fighting issues like ageism. Our voices matter more than ever and we have the power to change the narrative." source "You b*tch!" ~ Rat Boy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah 26,972 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 It's wild to me how she has to talk about ageism at 31. That's young. The industry needs to change and treat female Popstars better or else there will be barely anyone left because they're all 'too old' ⟡ ⋆ ˚｡⋆🦢⋆ ˚｡⋆⟡ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KORG 4,756 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 It's the Britney Spears effect. There were stars before her who were young but since Britney smashed at a young age, the industry has been trying to find more and more young manipulatable girls to make money from, and the side effect of that is less interest in women. The most successful women in the industry are over 25, though, so the tide is changing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gets young women to experience sexism, slim or just curvy women to deal with fatphobia, pretty women to be told to alter their physic even if I know "pretty" is often subjective... Etc etc... It's super specific rules/ high standards/ discriminations driving many of them nuts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
