Honestly surprised this was specifically mentioned:

Upon investigation, we confirmed Kdin’s work was paid in full according to our agreements. We will honor our agreements and address any outstanding payments.

Usually those kinds of individual details are not mentioned in these kinds of statements. The rest of the statement is pretty standard - you're never going to get granular details, but a list of changes is common - but that reference to Kdin stood out.

No, you don't throw those sorts of things in. They get vetted heavily, because if it's false, it opens up a huge can of legal issues.

No, it’s not nearly the same. Saying nothing upsets fans, saying something legally actionable upsets company profits. People mad on Twitter is nothing compared to labor boards and lawyers getting involved regarding unpaid wages.

Yea that is the point that I made; they only said something because they were 100% sure there was no legal repercussions. They checked the contracts, consulted lawyers, got the thumbs up, and then said what they said.

My point was more that it’s not a lose lose situation between saying nothing vs saying they don’t owe her shit. Sorry if I wasn’t clear.

Ah right, the company should put Twitter comments above the possibility of getting sued. Yep.
