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, when you ask one household specifically, there was certainly a hitch.
In accordance with a TMZ report, the household of Nicole Brown, the lady O.J. Simpson was acquitted of murdering, has spoken out in opposition to BET for together with the Corridor of Fame footballer of their “in memoriam” tribute final night time. Ron Goldman, Nicole’s father, known as the tribute “a slap within the face” and mentioned that BET ought to problem he and his household a proper apology, although he doesn’t count on to obtain one.
“I believe they shouldn’t embody 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 mentioned, “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 hold it a buck with y’all, we have 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 “obtained 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 clarification on why that felt that Simpson wanted to be included.
