Pink Shuts Down Separation Rumors With Carey Hart: ‘Do Better’

Pink, a three-time Grammy-winning artist and one of the boldest voices of the 21st century, has a list of topics the press can mull over that don’t involve her marital status.

On Thursday, Feb. 26, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to address rumors that she had split from her husband, former motocross racer Carey Hart. “So I was just alerted to the fact that I’m separated from my husband,” said Pink. “I didn’t know. Thank you People magazine, thank you Us Weekly. Thank you for letting me know. I was wondering if you’d also like to tell our children. My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware.”

As an alternative to the fuss over her personal life, Pink pointed to more pressing matters: “Or do you want to talk about some real news? Do you want to talk about the Epstein files? Do you want to talk about systemic racism or misogyny in sports or how classy the women’s hockey team is or how eight of the 12 medals won in the Olympics this year for the U.S. were won by women?”

Pink, who has been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2026, also proposed, “Or do you maybe want to talk about the fact that I got nominated the first year I was eligible for the Rock and Roll motherfucking Hall of Fame?” She continued, “Do you want to talk about my accomplishments? Or do you only want to talk about my supposed demise?” After shutting down the relationship rumors as “fake news,” she added, “Trash news you can do better.”
