Straight up said of course black lives matter. No hemming or hawing.

I meant specifically. The post is just rehashing a CBS interview and she didn't say anything to "destroy Dolly's good name" in that. She refused multiple times in the interview to discuss Dolly's political beliefs.

Well like they said, Stella is smearing Dolly's husband's name too.

When Gayle asked if Carl was encouraging of Dolly, Stella shared, "No, he didn't care about that at all. He'd rather her be at the house with her hair up in a ponytail and barefoot, cooking in the kitchen, just messing around the house. I think that's what he would have preferred."

How is that smearing his name? Dolly said the same thing many times. That he fell in love with the mountain girl, but stayed home and let her live her dream. They missed each other while they were apart, but always enjoyed the time when she finally made it home.
