UPDATE: BET didn't want B.Scott "Looking Like a Woman", B.Scott responds


BET may be in some hot water with this foolishness.

TMZ has obtained some info over the B. Scott drama at the BET Awards Pre-Show. A quick recap, BET made B. Scott change his clothes because he looked too femme.

Okay, so TMZ found some emails from executives who ordered B. Scott to change, see here:

BET Music Programming Prez Stephen Hill wrote a pointed email before the show ... "I don't want 'looking like a woman B Scott.' I want tempered B Scott."

Network VP Rhonda Cowan offered help, "I can speak to him about being less 'womanly.'"

BET producer Stephanie Hodges wrote an email shortly after the broadcast, confessing, "He got upset and said he was going to blow this s**t up and call GLAAD."

From BET honcho Monique Ware:
"The spin should be he was late for a live show and subsequently replaced and it would have been awkward in a live show to have the person assuming his role removed and him inserted." It seems she's saying it would be weird for him to come back on the air as a man.

Ware goes on ... "Unless we can make public the reason we didn't want him dressed the way he normally does, I would stay away from suits, suit selections, etc."


This is so ridic and yet, I'm not surprised. I hope B.Scott sues the Hell out of them. Seriously, how dare they do this? Really, in this day and age?

These execs better get their resumes together.

This is an effect you see with high level management. They don't have any real work to do, so they nitpick on little stupid issues until they blow up out of proportion. A lot of companies are retarded from the neck up.

Did they not know who they were hiring?

Yeah management is stupid...so stupid they did not realize B. Scott is fem. I'm not I to fem guys but I have to admit he is talented and looks amazing. I hope he sues BET back to the Stone Age. There is so much evidence BET should just settle and be done.

Foolishness. Like Bob said, did they not know who they hired? You hire B. Scott, you get B. Scott.
