It appears that America’s Got Talent host, Terry Crews, has finally decided to make a statement about the ALLEGED racial and sexist goings on at the show; the ALLEGATIONS were that judge Gabrielle was fired from the show because her hairstyles were, ahem, “too black,” and because she complained about Jay Leno telling a joke about Koreans eating dogs.
And now Terry, after being called out by Gabrielle and others for saying nothing for months has burped up some rubbish about diversity on the show:
“That was never my experience on America’s Got Talent. In fact, it was the most diverse place I have ever been in my 20 years of entertainment. The top 10 acts were Asian, women, older, younger, Black, White. It was everything in the gamut … I can’t speak for sexism because I am not a woman, but I can speak on behalf of any racism comments.”
I guess Terry Crews forgot how Gabrielle Union came to his defense when people mocked him over his ALLEGATIONS of sexual assault; but Gabrielle remembers, and she’s dragging Crews because none of the ALLEGATIONS she made has ever been disputed by NBC:
“Why anyone would gleefully get up on TV and tell lies that NO ONE disputed [the story] … Can someone please ask [about] what happens to all that diversity folks are talking about BEHIND THE SCENES. Like ... where the hell is all that diversity in the production though … ? In the decision-making ranks who control the fate of the diversity in front of the camera? The policing, criticism, and all other forms of bullshit ass commentary about our hair... KEEP FIGHTING!!! They truly believe if you stay quiet, they've won. Don't be quiet. Do not let this stand.”
After getting called out as a liar, one might think Crews would close his mouth, but instead he spewed some real nonsense:
“I’m a hog.
You’re a chicken.
Just ‘cuz you gave me eggs—
Don’t mean I owe you bacon.”
- Ancient Flint Michigan proverb”
And when People were all WTF, Crews said he meant Gabrielle Union and every single woman who tries to educate him on facts over bull shiz. And, in doing so, Crews said his mom, sister, and daughters can also eff off because the only woman he has to please is his wife, who may, or may not be, a can of Red Bull:
“There is only one woman one earth I have to please. Her name is Rebecca. Not my mother, my sister, my daughters or co-workers. I will let their husbands/ boyfriends/ partners take care of them. Rebecca gives me WINGS.”
So, basically Terry Crews is saying that any woman who faces some kind of workplace discrimination or sexual harassment can just pound sand because he doesn’t care and it’s not his business.

scuse me....but wasn't the musical Cats about singing cats? I don't know about your crew but my crew definitely DON'T sing (and if they did no-one would want to hear them), so there would be no point in having real live cats take the parts of the characters in the film. Or is it just me not understanding how things work nowadays?

ReplyDeleteI think PETA felt awful because a movie about cats bombed so they created this ridiculousness.
Ick! If a blog post ever needed a palate cleanser this is the one! Where's a hot man in a kilt sitting side saddle on a horse when you need one? Get on it (the horse) Bob!
ReplyDeleteDaughter went to see Cats and
ReplyDeleteliked it! Abby was appalled.
xoxo :-)
"Make a movie about Kanye West's life"????? Seriously? I'd rather watch paint dry!
ReplyDeleteI second deedles. we need some hawt menz to clean away the ick factor of this garbage.
ReplyDeleteI never go to award shows either unless I'm going to win.
ReplyDelete@Deedles
ReplyDeleteI'd post a hot man but Carlos doesn't want his picture taken today!
@TDM
Even I'm avoiding Cats.
@Treaders
I'd go with you!
@AM
I'll find someone ...
@Debra
Hey, maybe THAT'S why I never go .....
I'm going to cut Terry and Michael some slack, (especially Michael) I'm sure it's not easy to be a ship navigating through a sea of snow. Terry is probably just trying to survive and doesn't want to get caught up in this. Michael I am also going to believe, I also wonder if this was Seacrest or Anderson Cooper jumping around to better job offers would it even be discussed?
ReplyDeleteThe BIG house joke was classic.. good one lol! ;)
Swift, I seriously can't tell one song from the other.. but I recently heard the gay positive lyrics in her Calm down song so I can't make fun of her. I tend to have issues with unnamed gossip sources.
Good old PETA corporation, nice to see them using the donations to maybe one day rub elbows with the rich and famous.
@Steven
ReplyDeleteTerry Crews had his own issues with being sexually harassed and was mocked because, as a man, is that really a thing? I mean, that's what some thought; I did not. But Gabrielle Union stood up for him and when it comes time to stand for her he takes a seat,
As for Strahan, all he had to do was say to Kelly, I got a better offer. Instead he said nothing; and it has nothing to do with color; at least not from me. It has to do with common decency.
I hope they get a Big House stay!
I will make fun of Swifty because I felt, and still feel, that she was using the LGBTQ+ community as props to sell some music, and I don't like that.
PETA is kinda try hard.
Bob, I meant to ask, how is the prodigal cat doing now?
ReplyDeleteIf Cats had actual cats it might be a better movie! It certainly could not be any worse.

ReplyDeleteShe's utterly completely back to normal, though sh does like to stare out the window at the deck she lived under for a week.
