No Love Muffins: B. Scott Feuds With BET!

Celebrity agitator B. Scott airs frustration with BET after they told him not to wear high heels and makeup. The entertainer Mariah Carey is supporting him and the public backlash is forcing BET to publicly apologize to him.

Are probably familiar with the term "love muffins?"

That's the trademark words of a celebrity agitator on YouTube who managed to become an internet sensation. He has a well known blog and YouTube page and has millions of followers.

Despite his huge success, the folks over at Black Entertainment Television (BET) treat him as a second class citizen. The network is getting some flack over its treatment of an openly gay celebrity agitator known as B. Scott.

The celebrity agitator was at the BET Awards Show doing a pre-award preview when the head honchos were telling the celebrity agitator not to put on high heels and makeup.

You already expect something stupid to happen at the BET Awards Show. I mean they're going to some hip-hop performer fighting with another one. It happened before with Rick Ross and Young Jeezy behind the scenes. That was big enough to draw attention to The Guy Who Throws Shit To The Wall.

You know in the conservative/white supremacist bubble, any Black award show (i.e. The Source, Vibe, Soul Train, BET or NAACP) is expected to be an all out NIGGER GATHERIN!

They already assume that since it's a Black-themed awards show, somehow the guns would be drawn and people are dying. Good ol' fashion Black entertainment.

B. Scott operates his official blog and YouTube page.
Now onto the B. Scott issue.

B. Scott (born Brandon Scott Sessoms on March 21, 1981) is an American television personality, radio show host and internet celebrity who is best known for his YouTube videoblogs and website lovebscott.com .

The Huffington Post reports that the feud started with a move by program directors.

The 2013 BET Awards aired live at the Nokia Theatre L.A in Los Angeles on June 30 but it wasn't anything that went down on stage that appears to have caused the most controversy.

Prior to the ceremony, the network aired coverage of the Ford Red Carpet featuring B. Scott and singer Adrienne Bailon, Clutch Magazine notes.

B. Scott, a contributing editor to The Glam Network and an Ebony Magazine advice columnist, is known for his witty words and style.

After the BET awards, Scott took to his Twitter account to address tweets about BET allegedly making him change his wardrobe and remove his heels and lipstick, as News One reports.










In the picture Scott is wearing dark lipstick, which he was without during the red carpet coverage. Prior to posting the picture of Scott and Carey on Instagram, the host posted a video where he says, "Let me just say this. I am so f*cking beat and I don't give a f*ck who don't like it!"

On his official blog:

“It’s not just about the fact that BET forced me to pull my hair back, asked me to take off my makeup, made me change my clothes and prevented me from wearing a heel,” he wrote. It’s more so that from the mentality and environment created by BET made me feel less than and that something was wrong with who I am as a person. “

Again the LGBT community has become more aggressive against bigotry in the media. They're fighting against people and companies who stand in their way of love and happiness. They've managed to win some major fights. One being the Defense of Marriage Act which was struck down in 2013.
Black exploitation television.
They gotten fast food company Chick-fil-A to tone down its harsh stance against gay employees. They've managed to push the narrative in favor of marriage equality.

They're calling out rappers, conservative agitators, entertainers who are allies saying offensive terms about gays (i.e. Alec Baldwin) and outing celebrities and politicos who stand in the way.

And they've managed to change the mind of the president, the Democrats and at least four Republican lawmakers when it comes to gay marriage.

You may have a friend, a family member, a co-worker or even child who may be a part of the LGBT community. I am accepting of the LGBT community and I'm straight.

Should I be ashamed of being in favor of them having equal rights like the rest of us?
