📢 THREAD Roxen's stories after I cancelled the gig in London for conflict of interest

Decided to post these as I'm tired of artists hiding behind freedom of speech. Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from public's opinions.

@prodbyH3RM35 Hehe, a cheeky promo there hey? 👀 😂. Will look into some of your stuff :)

I will raise my hand up and say that I should've found about her beliefs sooner. In light of this cancellation, will be more dilligent when researching artists to ensure their values align with our commitments.

[Platform '96 - Platforming the Future! @_platform96]

@Avas_corner_ofx @toutlucyvers I do. had a feeling she would delete them after all the insults, despite never insulting her or her beliefs once. All of this started just because I didn't align with hers and yes, I should've known sooner of all of her principles than I did, better due diligence will be made.

@toutlucyvers Called fascist and communist for not agreeing and aligning with her beliefs. 😅 Public figures are responsible for what they say online and their community. People can either agree and disagree with it and that's fine 🤷 Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence

[Platform '96 - Platforming the Future! @_platform96]

@HouricanKatrina Coward for choosing my integrity when I don't align with an artist's beliefs? Coward for caring about human rights and wanting a safe environment and welcoming space for all, sticking to my beliefs and values rather than choose short term gain?

Sure then.

🚨 A few days ago, a Roxen gig in London was cancelled after the organiser became aware of her non-inclusive views.

Roxen took to her insta story in a tirade of now-deleted videos and posts to share her thoughts on the situation, and things escalated QUICKLY- heres the summary:
