There's not a lot going on for the violinist here. It's all hearsay and easily could have been a mistaken room assignment.

It all sounds pretty weird. The hotel room mixup plausibly sounds like a mistake by staff during check in. But that begs the question for why the violinist was fired?

Idk. This whole story reads as a series of non-sequitors. There has to be more going on here.

The article made me wonder if Smith is homophobic. The line about having a replacement violinist ready to go when he was fired made it seem like this wasn't a snap dismissal, though
