![]() ![]() I felt I would rather be judged on my talent and not my looks. The look I chose, I chose on purpose at a time when my record company were encouraging me to do what you have done. You also said in Rolling Stone that your look is based on mine. The sooner a young lady gets to know that, the sooner she can be REALLY in control. It has always been that way and it will always be that way. They’re there for the money… we’re there for the music. Don’t think for a moment that any of them give a flying fuck about you. You shouldn’t let them make a fool of you either. I repeat, you have enough talent that you don’t need to let the music business make a prostitute of you. If you have an innocent heart you can’t recognise those who do not. ![]() The world of showbiz doesn’t see things that way, they like things to be seen the other way, whether they are magazines who want you on their cover, or whatever … Don’t be under any illusions … ALL of them want you because they’re making money off your youth and your beauty … which they could not do except for the fact your youth makes you blind to the evils of show business. You are worth more than your body or your sexual appeal. ![]() We don’t encourage our daughters to walk around naked in it because it makes them prey for animals and less than animals, a distressing majority of whom work in the music industry and its associated media. You ought be protected as a precious young lady by anyone in your employ and anyone around you, including you. Yes, I’m suggesting you don’t care for yourself. No one who cares about you could support your being pimped … and that includes you yourself. And when you employ people who give the impression they don’t give much of a f**k about you either. All the more true when you unwittingly give the impression you don’t give much of a f**k about yourself. If they want you sexually that doesn’t mean they give a f**k about you. None of the men ogling you give a s**t about you either, do not be fooled. They will prostitute you for all you are worth, and cleverly make you think its what YOU wanted … and when you end up in rehab as a result of being prostituted, ‘they’ will be sunning themselves on their yachts in Antigua, which they bought by selling your body and you will find yourself very alone. The music business doesn’t give a s**t about you, or any of us. I am happy to hear I am somewhat of a role model for you and I hope that because of that you will pay close attention to what I am telling you. ![]() Nothing but harm will come in the long run, from allowing yourself to be exploited, and it is absolutely NOT in ANY way an empowerment of yourself or any other young women, for you to send across the message that you are to be valued (even by you) more for your sexual appeal than your obvious talent. It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it’s the music business or yourself doing the pimping. I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way ‘cool’ to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos. I wasn’t going to write this letter, but today I’ve been dodging phone calls from various newspapers who wished me to remark upon your having said in Rolling Stone your Wrecking Ball video was designed to be similar to the one for Nothing Compares … So this is what I need to say … And it is said in the spirit of motherliness and with love. ![]()
