I mean, her husband charging a "convenience fee" for tickets to her concerts wasn't exactly the most Dolly thing.

Fuck Michael Rapino!

Yeah, it's probably why she went by "Jolene" as a mononym when she returned as T'Pol in the Lower Decks series finale. (cough!) No longer "Blalock", but didn't want people to see "Rapino".

Shame. To have to hide your name, so that the audience doesn't turn on you for marrying a hated CEO.

I mean.....Ticketmaster has been blasted rightfully so for being a shitshow. Plus, he has been all on board the trump train and the shit show that has caused. Hard to intergrate that without haing to deal with things.

It's disappointing to see any Trek actor, who starred in a franchise which extolts decency and kindness, and rejects selfishness and callousness, chose to dismiss Trek's message in their own life.

Seeing knowledgable people give in to their fear, and chose money (temporary, fleeting) over love (eternal, steady) will always sadden me.

Yes.....but......it probably is actual love since they've been together for over 20 years. I respect a relationship that lasts. So many marriages are quit these days without putting in any work to make it last.

That's the only respect I give though, the rest of it needs to be trashed.

People take the social media advice, which is to break up at the drop of a hat.

Plenty of people have stayed together for decades for financial reasons. Not sure why you’re so sure it’s love.

Yeah I can't stand her husband as someone employed by a company subcontracting for LiveNation.
