>This is WRONG.

Is that the message? Is it not the case that this is the result of a legally binding contract?

Right. Is this just celebrity with a huge audience privilege whereby they get to skirt contracts they signed by leveraging their fan base to exert pressure on the other party?

Contracts she only signed because the music industry had all the leverage. A music industry that is filthy rich, and notorious for their exploitative contracts, so I wouldn't rush to their defense.

How ever much of a dick move it may or may not be from the other party, she’s absolutely guaranteed to drum up more public support for her grievance by framing it as though there was some sort of sexism involved, than she would be otherwise.

Companies on HN exert pressure all the time. She's being savvy.
