Sea I don’t understand what that blog is saying. Genuine... what does she mean?
What they’re saying is that Jeff Azoff is genuinely working to benefit Harry, and Harry is genuinely benefiting from his partnership with Jeff Azoff. And to criticize this relationship in a way that implies that either Jeff or Harry are doing it because of “greed,” just because Harry’s focus on is in bringing the maximal profit by doing residencies in big USA cities instead of taking concerts to different fans in different cities (through Ticketmaster-enabled dynamic pricing and in Azoff-owned venues, at least one of which Harry has ownership in), is “antisemitic,” somehow, even though the accusation is leveled mainly at Harry.
They argue that Harry’s methods are the only reasonable path to a legendary rock n roll status for a born legend like Harry. Therefore, because no criticism of Harry Styles is ever valid, any criticism must come from a fascist motivation.
To be fair, Larries really painted themselves into this pickle by insisting that Harry wasn’t the one who was greedy: he had no agency, they argued. Harry was being “forced” like a slave. This sets up the Azoffs and Sony as the “bad guys,” because if this was all Harry’s choice, then Harry really is a greedy, ruthless, ambitious, backstabbing fucker, isn’t he?
