I've only seen this from one source so not sure if its 100% verified. The blackface comments were idiotic. NBC will be forced to pay her all of the $69 million contract. How can that be? What a stupid deal NBC made. What a joke. I mean, she's getting the last laugh here. Why does she give a shit about being canned when she'll get every penny of her contact guaranteed? Her ratings were shit before this anyway.
TheseTV networks are rolling in $$$$
"What is racist?" she asked. "You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween, or a black person who puts on whiteface for Halloween. Back when I was a kid, that was OK just as long as you were dressing as a character."
That is what she said and is being fired for. My guess is she is etting paid so she doesnt sue NBC for more. This is purely a result of our poilitical correctness society. If this is what she is being fired for then Robert Downey Jr. should never work in another movie because he painted his face blackand palyed a black guy in Tropical Thunder and the Wayon Brothers should never work again because they painted their faces white and played white chicks. I really don’t think they should never work again, but the hypocricy is obvious. There is more to this story than a comment saying she beleived its ok as long as its just in costume. Her ratings may be low or NBC bosses don’t like her or something else is contributing to her firing. That is why she is getting paid just to go away. If she is truley being fired for that comment, then God help us as a society.
