So it was really unfortunate that the show had to be cancelled so close to the launch. I know the artist would have put a lot of work into it, and that really sucks, but had we known about it sooner, there could have been a different outcome,” she said.
“I am deeply sorry to learn that Raygun has faced negative backlash as a result of the media attention,” she said. “The last thing I wanted was for anyone to experience hate or distress from this situation.”
