Michael Franti has parted ways with his management company following sexual abuse allegations made by singer Victoria Canal, which he denies, though he admits to a consensual affair. The allegations led to the cancellation of his upcoming Soulshine at Sea cruise, and several supporting acts withdrew from the event.
Several artists, including Idina Menzel, Demi Lovato, and Ariana Grande, have left their manager Scooter Braun's roster, citing feeling undervalued and underappreciated. The split comes after Braun took on a new role as the CEO of HYBE America. Braun's Ithaca Holdings merged with HYBE in 2021, and since then, artists have reportedly felt that Braun hasn't been present. Justin Bieber, however, is still working with Braun.
Justin Bieber and his longtime manager Scooter Braun have reportedly not spoken in months, indicating a potential split. Bieber is said to be seeking a new agency or manager, while Braun recently sold his company to South Korean giant HYBE. The singer's recent health issues and canceled tour have prompted a larger house-cleaning, including firing his agency CAA and replacing his lawyer. Disney has downgraded its September analyst conference, focusing only on theme parks, possibly due to strikes and unfavorable news impacting CEO Bob Iger's share price.
