“She sang and danced all night, and wronged all the right outta meeeeee...”
In her recently-released memoir, Like Me, country singer Chely Wright comes out — and takes a harsh stand against old colleague John Rich (of Big & Rich). The two performed together in a long-ago Opryland show, and, according to Wright, it was a comment from Rich about sexuality that pushed her over the edge. As she told Access Hollywood, “[John] said, ‘You’re not gay are you?!’ I said, ‘No, John, I’m not.’ He said, ‘Good, thank God.’ And that began a spiral for me. I had a meltdown shortly after that.”
Now, Access Hollywood has posted the following statement from Rich on their website: “I would never pass judgment on any friend of mine. I feel awful that, at this time in Chely’s life, my decade old comment — ‘Good, thank God’ — was taken the wrong way. I was clumsily trying to express my relief that even a country boy like me had a one-in-a-million chance of having a beer with a woman as talented and attractive as Chely. For years after that conversation, Chely invited me to perform at charity events. In all that time, I wish she would have said something directly to me before the book’s publicity tour, especially since some of the comments attributed to me in the book are not mine. But I am happy for her and only wish her the best in her personal and professional life.”

Well, she’s right. She probably just sunk her career. Country music fans won’t be very supportive of the ‘gay thing’. Brad Paisley is a favorite among Country music fans too so hurting him was a very bad career move.
Is her band called Dick Chicks?
I got ditched by a dishonest muff diver that I made the mistake of falling in love with once upon a time . Like this twit , I didn’t have a clue .
She sounds like a huge asshole. Epic, in fact. Let the women have her. Men dont need her crap
QUEER AIN’T COUNTRY... screw this deviate.
LLS
Country poser homo. Another reason why George STRAIGHT is king.
Another lost soul that needs prayer.
“She sang and danced all night, and wronged all the right outta meeeeee...”
“In her book she recalls taking a long bath with the music blaring from her sound system so she couldn’t hear Paisley outside her home begging her to take him back.”
She just “wronged him” again.

I haven’t read the book but it sounds like so far she has thrown, Brad Paisely, Vince Gill, John Rich, country music, and Nashville “under the bus”?
For crying out loud, who cares!
Self destructive people are never happy.. she won’t be happy with a woman either.
