LMAO Kids, buy the ticket insurance! |
Chappell Roan should look to Madonna to learn about professional concert behavior. |
How would that have helped? The festival wasn’t canceled. |
Oops I thought the PP was complaining about travel costs of flights and hotels not just ticket prices because she said “ some people bought airline tickets to fly in from places where she isn’t performing.” So yeah travel insurance would have helped! |
I don’t think travel insurance covers nearly as much as you think. It doesn’t repay you if you just change your mind. It’s for illness and acts of god. |
depends on the insurance- what you buy and what percentage they cover etc. |
Dunno, but common sense would say that if you have a parasocial relationship with someone, you know how to spell their name. I honestly don’t ;). Seriously though, it is more the underlying disrespect to people with mental health disorders and those who treat them in your response that set me off. She has problems and a known disorder, why pick on her? She clearly does need help and claiming that she is ‘garnering negative attention, playing the victim, and has middle child syndrome” is just unkind. Why be unkind to those who are struggling? |
Her actions aren’t commanding a lot of respect right now. You don’t get to demand respect, blame your mental health for your behavior, and then be rude, disrespectful, and lash out at others. |
I assume this is a joke since Madonna makes her audience wait two hours before she goes on stage at 10 pm. |
Ok but why be rude to the people who diagnosed her and say she is suffering from playing the victim rather than understanding that people with diagnosed bipolar disorders can sometimes be rude and lash out at others particularly during times of change? Mental health disorders are often not pretty. There can be some gnarly behaviors that go along with it. She is displaying some of those behaviors right now. She does need help and seems to know it, but why attribute her struggles to personality traits, lack of personal responsibility or birth order rather than her diagnosed condition? It is like your understanding of mental health disorders is stuck in the 1960s. |
Travel insurance doesn’t generally cover “the performer I wanted to see cancelled”. Anyway. I’m not the person that bought the tickets, but I know young people that saved up for them, and for similar tickets. I think performers can get a pass for true emergencies and mental health or other health collapses — if her mom died, or she was hospitalized with exhaustion, I think everyone would understand. But this is coming off more like her feelings got hurt because people were mean, and she feels like she didn’t sign up for that. Which is guess is fine. But your fans should know that when they purchase tickets it’s contingent on your feeling the vibe to perform, and they should discount the value of the tickets accordingly. I think that’s true for any service provider — part of what you pay for is reliability so if they aren’t going to be reliable, you probably pay less. |
Why the assumption that the fans don’t have their own challenges? She’s accusing her fans of being creepy, crazy stalkers. Shouldn’t she also show some empathy and understanding? Calling them creepy and weird seems to be the opposite of what you’re saying people should do. Does she know their struggles? |
I guess her fans will know that from now on, but I also think this is part of the problem with mental and chronic illnesses. We as a society just blame the person rather than understanding that people who are suffering from mental health issues may not fit the mold of the USA puritanical work ethic. Wouldn’t it be better for everyone if we understood that some people need a little more leeway in life so they can contribute some to our society. Right now it is very much: be a top performer or we don’t need you. When really everyone could use the in between acceptance of: I’m doing the best I can right now at some point in their professional lives. |
Does travel insurance cover a performer saying they can’t perform? |
No. That poster is just grasping at straws. |
