You Got To Behave – 7 Celebrites Who got Dealt Wit
This word called Gay or homophobia is becoming a real epidemic in entertainment pop culture. I keep hearing how someone got in trouble for making gay gestures or homophobic comments. Well, in the entertainment industry you better not misbehave, or someone will cut your pay check, You might get your balls off for being to masculine or to feminine. Speaking out against the gay community is becoming more and more of a problem for the heterosexual folks.
When you are in the industry you got to behave and do as daddy, or momma tells you to do, or you will not rise to be a popular figure in this culture. I was reading an article that Ms. Iyanla Vanzant was a relationship advisor on Oprah Winfrey show. She was offered her own show, but she approached Oprah and said she would only do the show if Harpo produced the show. Well, as the story goes she lost the show, lost book deals, and her publishing company dropped her, and is now suing her for advancement money on intellectual property which she does not own. When you get out of line and don’t behave inside this machine called entertainment you will catch a backlash from the powers that be.
Many celebrities have spoken out against the gay lifestyles, and have gotten reprimanded for there actions. Tracy Morgan, Tim Hardaway, Isaiah Washington, Eriq LaSalle, Janet Hubert,Iyanla Vanzant, and Cee lo green just to name a few.
