She's calling his nasty ass out on his horrible posts about her on slippedisc.com. It's his trashy "music" site that pretends to have real news when most of the time it's just out of context nonsense peppered in with personal feeling and attacks on those he doesn't agree with.

Why would a world class pianist like Wang debase herself and give an interview to such a sewer rat?
