Dixie Chicks new song - Gaslighter

[Anonymous]

Woo its all about Natalie Maines ex-husband and boy is it SPICY. I wonder if he ever got that $60,000/month in child and spousal support he was seeking?

I think it's great! So excited to hear new music from them!

I admire how they stuck together all these years. Lots of groups dissolve or have infighting. Not these ladies and they were in the midst of a heck of a firestorm.

Natalie Maines' ex seems like a total pr*ck.

Why? Because he asked for support? If he'd been a woman and they'd been married 17 years (like they were), ya'll would be saying he's owed that and more.

When I saw the title I thought this was going to be about Trump.

For the first 1 minute of the song I was convinced it was! Then she started singing about Hollywood accepting him and all that...so I realized it was the husband.

So glad they are coming back! Miss those DC harmonies! Great song.

I really admire how they stuck to their principles. What courage (and talent!) Great role models for my DDs.

Not if he'd been a woman that signed a prenup saying otherwise. It's not like he was at home managing the house and children behind the scenes. He had his own career, she was just better at hers.

Women try to get around prenups ALL the time. He just used the same tactic. You support outrageous child support and maintainence ence levels for one type of spouse - you have to do it for both.

Child support is one thing--the kids should have the same lifestyle they had before. But he wanted $45k extra in spousal support, which he did not get because he signed a valid prenup. I dont support "outrageous" maintenance levels for anybody in a divorce.

He may be a jerk, or she is but you don't do a song against your ex and hurt your kids with it. If she made all the money he may be entitled to it.

Sounds like he did exactly what you said a SAHM does. He raised the children, saw them off to school, made sure their meals were made, and put them to bed while Natalie was making music, touring, and fighting the establishment.

At the time, he claimed he sacrificed his professional career to focus on the former couple's children while Maines toured and made music.

I love the Dixie chicks but not keen on this song. Don't air your dirty marriage laundry when you have young kids.

I don't believe Maines claims that her net worth is 4M. It may not be the 50M that he is claiming but she has to be worth more than 4M. She has a 23K/month mortgage. You don't do that on a network of 4M.

He likely doesn't deserve 40K in spousal support but he should get some alimony and child support just the same as if genders were reversed.
