Blue grass music star Jason Aldean’s better half is multiplying down on her transphobic position and the extremely open quarrel that came after it.
Brittany Aldean has been at the focal point of a serious big name spat that worked out via virtual entertainment throughout the course of recent days. As we’ve been detailing, everything began when the mother of two took to Instagram to say thanks to her folks “for not changing my orientation when I went through my spitfire stage.” Typically (and accurately), country singer Maren Morris didn’t respond well to the apparent enemy of trans𝓈ℯ𝓍ual call-out. From that point, the firestorm was on, with Maren’s accomplice Ryan Hurd making a splash to show up, as well.
Now, Brittany has returned to IG for more. The Charlotte native took to her Stories twice on Monday with somewhat different takes on the tense social media dust-up. In the first, she quoted conservative political pundit, Robby Starbuck, with a commentary on sticking to one’s beliefs and riding out the controversy and criticism that may come from sharing them:
“If you are silent about your beliefs because you are worried someone will be offended, then your beliefs are not that important to you, but rather what people think about you is. When you stand up for what’s right and true, you will receive both hate and love, but everyone will know what you are fighting for.”
But in the second slide, posted later on Monday evening, the blonde appeared to take a more mature and conciliatory strategy with the controversy. Quoting brain health coach Kayla Barnes in her second slide, Brittany wrote:
“Having compassion not only benefits others but benefits you. We’re living in a world of unparalleled outrage; everyone is mad about everything. If they don’t have a reason to be mad, they will find one. Don’t be that person.”
Huh. That’s definitely a different attitude than the first post. And Brittany wasn’t done, either. She continued with the rest of this quote:
“Try to find common ground, show grace, and know that most of the time, when someone is projecting their anger onto you, it is simply a reflection of unhappiness and brokenness inside. Be good. Even when you don’t want to. Over time it will become your natural reaction. Your mood and overall happiness will reap the benefits.”
Maren hasn’t weighed in specifically on Brittany’s latest posts. However, the Chasing After You singer did share a link in her IG Stories to information on gender-affirming care from the Scientific American on Monday, as well. So that’s good!! Still not as good as her “Insurrection Barbie” comment to Brittany at the start of this feud, but we digress…
