Ariel Pink dropped by record label after attending pro-Trump rally ahead of Capitol riots – Fox News

Ariel Pink has been let go by his music label just days after he attended a President Trump rally in Washington Wednesday when protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol building. "Due to recent events, Mexican Summer and its staff have decided to end our working relationship with Ariel Rosenberg AKA Ariel Pink moving forward," Mexican Summer tweeted on Friday night. The indie musician was called out on Twitter by fans this week after an Instagram post showed him, musician John Maus and filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer at a hotel in the city Wednesday. When Twitter followers criticized the 42-year-old artist, he admitted he was at the rally but was not among those who breached the Capitol, which led to riots and at least five people deaths.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit social media for good – Page Six

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “no plans” to return to social media almost a year after Megxit. A source close to the ex-royals told The Times of London that they’re “very unlikely” to have an online presence, mostly due to the “hate” they’ve received. Before the couple broke off from the royal family, social media was a large part of their lives. The couple announced their Megxit plan to the world through an Instagram post on their “Sussex Royal” profile. Though the profile is still up, it’s not active. They last posted a goodbye message in March 2020, saying “while you may not see us here, the work continues.” They also revealed the birth and name of their child Archie through the platform. Before her engagement to Harry, Meghan ran an...
