Crews 
So if you remember last summer at the BET Awards, internet personality and blogger B. Scott was set to co-host the red carpet show. Fans watching the show saw a somber and obviously disgruntled B.Scott, as Scott referenced during the show to a few of his celeb interviewees that he wasn’t in the best spirits due to “people trying to bring him down”, however like a trooper the androgynous Scott continued his duties.
It was only later that we would find out that the people Scott was reffering to was BET execs themselves, as Scott called BET out for making him change from his initial women’s clothing which he is clearly known for wearing, into a more “masculine” outfit. Scott declared via social media to his fans that he was discriminated against and BET responded with an “It B.Scott felt he was discriminated against” apology. B. Scott did not accept their apology because he said it was not genuine and he proceeded with a discrimination lawsuit against the network claiming the they humiliated him by snatching him off the air because he was wearing women’s clothes
Well well well, today comes news courtesy of good ol’ TMZ that is sure to aid Scott in winning his case. Leaked emails and text from the BET execs have surfaced that clearly show them conversing about the B. Scott situation at the time of the red carpet fiasco, and plotting a cover up to avoid their now undeniable lawsuit. Peep the juicy details below, thanks TMZ!:
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 had a potential public relations disaster on its hands … because B. Scott went ballistic after being told to change clothes. 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.”
BET has said it “embraces global diversity” and regrets unintentionally offending anyone in the LGBT community.
But we got an email showing the network was far more cunning. It’s 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.”
In the various email and text exchanges … BET execs say Scott had been drinking, was unruly, had shown up late, and was wearing garments that were not pre-approved.
TMZ says they reached out to BET, but so far, there’s been no response.
