[quote name='MrBadExample']Considering what she actually said onstage, both the crowd and management overreacted in a big way.
But for those who want to stick up for the Aladdin, yes, they have a right to fire her (this was her only performance there anyway) but what right do they have to bar her from going back to her room?[/quote]
After she was fired, she became a customer [a non-paying customer at that, since I'm assuming the hotel room was included in her performance contract.]
Either the hotel room was for performers, since she's no longer a performer and not eligible for it; or the hotel fell back on those magic words:
'We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.'
I wouldn't think the audience was particularly older/country, and conservatives do like Las Vegas as well, but I would assume she's not stupid, and she's seen the current state of 'debate' today, and had to know saying something like that, or even saying *anything* political, would piss off somebody in the audience. Just her luck, she pissed off about 1/4 of the audience. I wonder how many of those walkouts disagreed with her, and how many simply were of the opinion that 'This isn't the place for that.'
It's like going to a funeral. I don't like Michael Moore, for instance, but if I were speaking at his funeral, I wouldn't say 'Michael Moore was a pompous blowhard.' I'd respect the event, if not the person, and act/speak appropriately for the event. If' I'm called upon to give a presentation at work, my presentation focuses on the topic at hand, and not extraneous, irrelevant political commentary.
