What I'm talking about is very simple, she's free to say whatever she wants
to whomever she wants. Any company that has contracted with her to
represent them is equally free to terminate that agreement. Therefore, she
is not guaranteed a paycheck from any entity that no longer wishes to
associate with her. Whether she still gets paid by her former contractor is
determinate on the details of the prior contract they signed.

As far as payment for performances and and ability to secure venues for
same, yes that's a separate issue, also not guaranteed by anyone at any
time.

What part of this is so hard to understand?
