The 2024 BET Awards went down final night time with out a lot of a hitch, the heavy censoring of Usher Raymond’s profanity-laden Lifetime Achievement Award speech however. Nevertheless, should you ask one household particularly, there was certainly a hitch.
In keeping with a TMZ report, the household of Nicole Brown, the lady O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering, has spoken out towards BET for together with the Corridor of Fame footballer of their “in memoriam” tribute final night time. Ron Goldman, Nicole’s father, referred to as the tribute “a slap within the face” and stated that BET ought to concern he and his household a proper apology, although he doesn’t anticipate to obtain one.
“I feel they shouldn’t embrace anybody of that caliber — a spouse beater, assassin … can’t think about why they would come with somebody like that.”
Nicole’s sister Tanya was much more direct about her displeasure and what penalties ought to ensue:
“It’s inappropriate to present an abuser and assassin recognition.”
Tanya stated, “Whoever considered doing that owes each home violence sufferer an apology…and that’s together with our household. And, they need to be fired.”
We’ll maintain it a buck with y’all, we had been stunned to see O.J. pop up on the display screen too. Certain, he was by no means convicted of homicide however there’s loads of controversy about whether or not or not he “acquired away with it” or not. Past the precise homicide, O.J. was additionally an accused home abuser. Not an incredible look.
We’d love to listen to BET’s rationalization on why that felt that Simpson wanted to be included.
