CeeLo Green is in a world of trouble after his stupid, insensitive tweets about rape. Though he deleted his tweets, he can’t delete peoples’ memories, and it’s causing him gigs. TMZ is reporting that the Gretna festival is dropping his ass:
A Louisiana music festival says CeeLo Green no longer fits the concert’s “wholesome family environment” … so he’s been axed from headlining the event.
Organizers for the Gretna Heritage Festival released a statement saying Joan Jett and the Blackhearts will replace him in Sunday night’s lineup. There was no further explanation about why CeeLo was dropped.
I don’t think we need further explanation, I think it’s clear why he was dropped. And that’s not the only gig he’s lost. From Seattle Pi:
TBS announced Wednesday it had decided earlier this summer against renewing Green’s reality show, “The Good Life,” for a second season. The Navy also canceled a Green performance.
I guess they saw him drivin’ ’round town and shouted, “FUCK YOUUUUUUUU.”
I say, good riddance. He should be held accountable for his tweets, and I think it’s great people are taking action.
Bums me out. I used to be a fan. To the extent that anyone can really be a fan of CeeLo Green — I’ve never met a diehard CeeLo fan.
Ain’t that some shit?
You mean being a little bit “rape-y” is bad for your career ?
THANK GAWD !
I love that not only is he getting dropped but he is being replaced by rock legend and hardcore feminist Joan Jett, yaaaaas.
