A female friend of mine just got this email. I don't know how everybody feels, but I ain't cool with that rape shit. They went after Rick Ross for just saying some shit, but they didn't go after Robin Thicke. It was the fans that did that. People need to learn that once you hit "sent", it's sent!
Grammy-winning performer CeeLo Green just let loose a series of tweets claiming that rape isn't rape if the victim is unconscious. He even tweeted "women who have really been raped remember!!!" WHAT???
What's worse is that his tweets aren't out of the blue--he recently pled no contest to drugging a woman who later woke up naked in his bed, with no memory of what happened. Yet despite this criminal act, and these incredibly dangerous tweets, major network TBS and its parent company Time Warner are still giving him a huge public platform in a reality TV show that recently premiered. They've got to drop him, now.
Tell TBS and Time Warner: Rapists and rape-apologists should have no place in your line-up. Cancel CeeLo Green's reality show The Good Life immediately.

Shortly after being charged with a felony for drugging the woman, he left NBC's The Voice. But that didn't stop TBS from signing him for a reality show called CeeLo Green's The Good Life.2 The show premiered in June. Opening credits feature CeeLo saying "Now that I'm on top of the world, we can do whatever we want."3
No. Absolutely not. CeeLo Green should not be rewarded for drugging a woman and then bragging about it.
TBS and its parent company Time Warner Cable never should have signed him in the first place. Now that he has been sentenced for the attack, and doubled down on his outrageous statements about rape, it's time to drop him and his show permanently.
Add your name.
Thanks for taking action.
