Jem Aswad Senior Music EditorWhile she wasn’t asked about it directly, Fiona Apple, who is up for two Grammy Awards, used her interview with The Guardian to slam the organization for its treatment of ousted president/CEO Deborah Dugan and its nomination of hitmaker Dr. Luke, who has been embroiled in lawsuit with singer Kesha over unproven sexual assault allegations for year.Dugan brought legal action against the Recording Academy after her sudden ouster just days before the 2020 awards, which is ongoing.“I’m waiting to hear more about what Deborah Dugan has to say because that all reeks to me,” Apple said.
