      From my understanding though they weren’t in a position of power and came from not the greatest backgrounds. I’d consider what happened to them exploitation and while they should be shamed a bit and not seen as artists the real assholes aren’t them

      When they signed their contract with Farian, they had no idea at all that they would be lip syncing. When they found out, Rob was pissed and confronted Farian, who threatened legal action against them if they didn’t complete the contract. They weren’t “in on it”, they were coerced into going along with it.
