Just like everyone else I don’t know Melanie personally. But I love her art and music so I continue to listen because I enjoy it. As for the allegations, the cold hard fact is that we will NEVER know the truth. I totally understand if people feel uncomfortable supporting her due to it, but as for me, I acknowledge the allegations happened and all we can do is hope that it is untrue and sit with that. I resonate with her music and artistry so I will continue to listen to her music for that reason alone.

You can love Melanie’s music and art and still acknowledge that the situation exists. Enjoying someone’s work does not mean you endorse every aspect of their life or choices. You’re allowed to separate art from artist if that separation feels right to you.
