I don’t think I know anyone in my life who has even heard of her tbh

why can't artists hire and pay for their own mental health services instead of expecting the label to? i only make 55k a year and i am expected to pay for my therapy. if you're making hundreds of thousands (or more) you can surely invest some of that back into your mental health, right?

[gloeden2]

Only a tiny percentage of recording artists or creative workers in the recording industry make that kind of money. BUT Iggy talking about herself or Lizzo or others at their level getting free care is a fucking joke and insult.

[cleanofslate]

in general it absolutely should be more affordable. mental health is incredibly important and tends to be sidelined.

[puramierda]

why is the take always 'if i don't get it no one should!!!'. every job should include mental health services...

Everyone has a right to Healthcare, but I wouldn't trust a record company to approach this ethically AT ALL

Mte if the labels are in charge of hiring the MHPs, I wouldn’t be surprised to see an unprecedented amount of artists in conservatorship-type situations or being blackmailed to work for fear of having their mental health issues or even just confided thoughts exposed to the public. Even tho it’s illegal, nothing is truly stricken from the record in the court of public opinion. I don’t think I’d ever fully trust that MHP with my secrets/fears/dreams/etc. knowing they were, in effect, another employee primarily there protecting the interests of the label.

Agreed. If anything, they should get a yearly stipend to pay for it or better yet give them comprehensive medical insurance lolol.

Exactly. That could possibly become another HR type of scenario wherein the HR is always on the side of the company and not you. Latest example is the Blizzard issue. It’s sickening.

I don’t think it’s a bad at all but I also could see labels bending morale to make sure that music gets released regardless 👀🗣👥

I'm just thinking about all the doctors and nurses I see on tik tok spilling tea

They should be reported for violating a bunch of privacy and ethic codes.
