I will say this, whether or not Ike, Vox or Elira volunteered to do this or were made to do this by management, it was one of the dumbest moves a company or the individual talents could make.
You have single handedly sullied your reputation more than it needed to be and could have walked away from all of this holding a W.
In the court of public appeal you just lost a lot of trust and ruined it for your current talents to a certain degree, all the ones uninvolved.
