Got it, yeah it seems that way it seems. I suppose my point is that there are SO MANY interviews that never ran because the entity that was being interview requested for it not to run, it's very common and part of the job.
I know Annie is super private and her relationships, she was really cagey about her sexuality and dating history, but also just let the interviewer know
Yeah I don’t really know what to make of this. I can understand feeling comfortable writing songs about something but not talking about it conversationally or in interviews but then the PR campaign has to have a different approach. I think the whole thing is a bummer
I think that I’m approaching this from a labor perspective, almost. If that request is mutually agreed upon, then i don’t have quite as much of an issue with it. If it’s just forced to be shut down due to the power and force of the interviewee.... i have a harder time stomaching that. Again, I’d feel different if it posed a safety/privacy breach i guess, but that doesn’t appear to have occurred in this interview.
i don’t think there’s any problem with asking questions about annie’s dad. like others have said, you have to kind of expect that. the weird part is some of the leaps taken in the questions and the reactions to annie’s answers.
How about a rule where you pay a journalist extra to not publish a piece. Not bribery, just a last minute late fee lol
If you’re going to build your whole release and style around something and then get cagey and kill interviews when people ask questions about it, don’t fucking do interviews?
There’s also plenty to talk about without getting into the situation with her dad. If it was just said upfront that she didn’t feel comfortable talking about it there’d be no issue
Definitely a strangely tense interview, but in the end it’s not the interviewers job to be their PR person
interview has been killed, again, journalist has gone private on Twitter no doubt because of unjustified blowback. fuck this.
