Q: can a business blacklist, deny service to, and/or discriminate against a person, on account of their politics
i am a professional entertainer who was falsely accused in the press of having took part in the events at the capital on 1/6 2021- this instantly led to my being dropped from my label, blacklisted from the industry, music venues, restaurants, concert and ticket services, record stores, music distributors, online vendors and more. 2.5 years on, and despite a general acknowledgement of my innocence in the press, my industry-wide ban remains in place, and i have no means of addressing it.
A:
Consult with legal counsel to assess the specific circumstances and determine the appropriate course of action to address the industry ban.
