To say that the lead-up to the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards was marred by controversy would be a gross understatement. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The annual awards ceremony, which is organized by the Recording Academy, was in many ways overshadowed by a series of very serious\u2014and very public\u2014actions and accusations. One bombshell after another made headlines, and in the end, the excitement that typically precedes the Grammys was supplanted by multifaceted uncertainty\u2014uncertainty over a misconduct complaint filed against ousted CEO Deborah Dugan, over a rape accusation made against former CEO Neil Portnow, over a possibly rigged voting system, and much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a day-by-day breakdown of all the drama and controversy that unfolded ahead of the 2020 Grammy Awards. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

 January 16th\u2014Deborah Dugan is Ousted from the Recording Academy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ten days before the 2020 Grammys, Deborah Dugan, who became the Recording Academy\u2019s CEO on August 1st, 2019, was placed on administrative leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dugan\u2019s professional career began with a stint as a Wall Street attorney. She then transitioned to an executive role at EMI\/Capitol Records, led Disney Publishing, and, until accepting the Recording Academy\u2019s offer, served as the CEO of HIV\/AIDS awareness and treatment charity (RED).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dugan was the first woman to head the Recording Academy, which was founded in 1957, though her tenure was far shorter than those of her two predecessors. The previous tenures spanned 14 years (Michael Greene, 1988-2002) and 17 years (Neil Portnow, 2002-2019).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An internally circulated memo said that Dugan was placed on administrative leave<\/a> \u201cin light of serious concerns raised to the Recording Academy Board of Trustees, which includes a formal allegation of misconduct by a senior female member of the Recording Academy.\u201d The statement went on to say that the ouster was necessary \u201cto restore the confidence of the Recording Academy\u2019s Membership.\u201d Board chairperson Harvey Mason Jr. was installed as interim CEO and was tasked with filling in for Dugan at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neither the \u201cserious concerns\u201d nor the \u201cformal allegation of misconduct\u201d were specified by the Recording Academy. However, The New York Times reported<\/a> that the allegation against Dugan was made by an assistant who had previously worked under Neil Portnow; this individual (later identified as Claudine Little) claimed that Dugan had instituted a \u201cbullying management style\u201d over Grammys staffers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, it came to light that three weeks before Dugan was given the boot, she sent the HR department a memo of her own<\/a>. The no-holds-barred document reportedly called out Recording Academy higher-ups for a number of offenses, including rigging the Grammy-nomination process and concealing sexual crimes among them. The same anonymous source who revealed Dugan\u2019s memo said that it\u2014not the allegation made by Neil Portnow\u2019s former assistant\u2014was probably the real reason for her dismissal. Later, Dugan also cited the memo as the probable cause for her being, in essence, let go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dugan promptly retained the legal services of Bryan Freedman<\/a>, a prominent Hollywood lawyer, before going public with her claims, which immediately drew fan and media attention to the Recording Academy\u2019s practices and operations. Ensuing headlines and conversations focused less on the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards and more on Dugan\u2019s allegations and, just as importantly, her ouster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 20th\u2014Harvey Mason Jr. Refutes Dugan\u2019s Allegations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a January 20th open letter<\/a>, Recording Academy interim CEO Harvey Mason Jr. pushed back against Dugan\u2019s claims. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, Mason Jr. stated that Dugan\u2019s allegations were contrived after the allegedly bullied employee involved his or her lawyer, causing the Recording Academy\u2019s Executive Committee to launch an internal investigation. According to Mason Jr., Dugan\u2019s attorney then informed the Executive Committee that \u201cif Ms. Dugan was paid millions of dollars, she would \u2018withdraw\u2019 her allegations and resign from her role as CEO.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, Mason Jr. implored music fans to \u201cseek the truth\u201d and reiterated that a third-party investigation into Dugan\u2019s behavior was underway. (Details of the investigation, including the names of the hired individuals and\/or companies, weren\u2019t provided.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By attributing Dugan\u2019s actions to what can only be described as an extortion plot, Mason Jr. placed the ball squarely in her court. She responded emphatically. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 21st\u2014Dugan Files a Lawsuit, Targets Former CEO Neil Portnow; Portnow Defends Himself<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On Tuesday, January 21st, Dugan initiated a lawsuit against the Recording Academy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the suit alleges all manner of misconduct on behalf of the Recording Academy, including sexual harassment, unequal pay, gender discrimination, comprehensive corruption in the nomination process, and, perhaps most significantly, a deliberate effort to conceal sexual crimes committed by former CEO Neil Portnow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portnow preceded Dugan as the Recording Academy\u2019s CEO. The Jive Records veteran previously came under fire after it was revealed that money set aside for MusiCares, the Recording Academy\u2019s main charity and outreach organization, had been used to fund the 60th Annual Grammy Awards, which took place at New York City\u2019s famous Madison Square Garden. (It reportedly costs about $200,000<\/a> to host an \u201caverage arena concert\u201d at MSG.) Also, in response to criticism over the number of female Grammy nominees, Portnow said that women artists needed to \u201cstep up.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had been widely believed that these controversies were the chief contributors to Portnow not receiving a new Recording Academy contract\u2014until Dugan, in her lawsuit, alleged that his raping a foreign recording artist was the true reason for the split. \u2018Alleged\u2019 must be emphasized; Dugan did not claim to have firsthand evidence of the assault. Similarly, the alleged victim has not come forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portnow released a widely published statement, which acknowledged that some sort of complaint had been made against him but insisted that it was \u201cludicrous and untrue.\u201d He went on to say that a third-party investigation had \u201cexonerated\u201d him of the allegation, and that Dugan\u2019s claims of being pressured to approve a $750,000 payment were also false; \u201cAt no time did I ever demand a $750,000 consulting fee.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a follow-up to Portnow\u2019s response, Dugan\u2019s legal team doubled down on their client\u2019s assertions of widespread and ongoing wrongdoing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

January 23rd\u2014Dugan Makes Morning-Show Rounds, Emphasizes Nomination Corruption<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Three days before the 2020 Grammys, Dugan appeared on Good Morning America and CBS This Morning (and filmed the former interview alongside her lawyer) to discuss the allegations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the alleged consulting-fee pressure, sexual harassment, and rape were briefly discussed, the \u201crigged\u201d voting system, which Dugan said resulted from special interests and behind-the-scenes influence, was the focal point of the interviews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specifically, Dugan said that Ariana Grande and Ed Sheeran were snubbed for 2020 \u2018Song of the Year\u2019 nominations because of another artist\u2019s below-board tactics, and that Taylor Swift had been unfairly denied a nomination for \u2018Album of the Year\u2019 in 2018 (before Dugan joined the Recording Academy). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictably, the idea that Grammy nominations and awards are issued based on influence, not the talent of the artist and the quality of the work, didn\u2019t sit well with fans, members of the media, or artists. Taylor Swift, who was meant to give a \u201csecret\u201d performance and who received three nominations, reportedly decided not to attend the Grammys at all. Another massively popular artist (and nominee), Beyonce, as well as her husband, Jay-Z, were also rumored to be bailing Grammys gala, and for the first time in a long time, talk of the Grammys centered on who wouldn\u2019t be attending.
<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Comes Next at the Grammys<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Only time will tell what comes next with regard to the far-reaching claims made before the 2020 Grammys, but it can be stated with confidence that a complete picture hasn\u2019t yet been painted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The allegations made by Dugan against the Recording Academy and Portnow are serious, and if they\u2019re proven true, fundamental internal changes will need to be administered. If, however, Portnow is telling the truth, and an investigation (not a police report, which presumably wasn\u2019t filed) proved his innocence, it\u2019s unclear which crimes the Recording Academy would have covered up. The sexual harassment episode, though also significant if true, pertains to a single Recording Academy exec and is not necessarily indicative of a cover-up or even a widespread issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the same token, if pervasive behaviors and influences are compromising the integrity of the nomination process, the stage would be set for a full-scale, ethics-minded overhaul. However, direct, irrefutable evidence must first be established. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, Dugan\u2019s claims would be put into question if the complaint filed against her was found to be valid by legitimately neutral investigators. Aside from the Recording Academy\u2019s stating that Dugan came forward only after an assistant reported a toxic, bullying work environment, every workplace allegation of misconduct must be seriously studied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopefully, any and all crimes will be punished, any and all corruption will be rooted out, and next year\u2019s Grammy Awards will be ushered in not with troubling headlines, but with headlines that emphasize the talent and accomplishments of artists. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
