Cee Lo Green's Show is cancelled after Rape Tweets
Quote:
TBS doesn't want any part of Cee Lo Green's The Good Life.
The Turner-owned cable network has canceled the unscripted series after one season, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The unscripted series bowed in June and has already completed its six-episode freshman run. The reality show featured Green as he juggled his schedule of producing, recording and performing.
The series averaged 677,000 viewers when factoring in seven days of delayed viewing, with 403,000 among adults 18-49.
TBS' decision to cancel The Good Life comes as the former The Voice coach is mired in controversy following tweets over the weekend about the nature of rape.
The musician/TV personality has since deleted the tweets in which he implied that women can only be raped if they are conscious. He also compared rape to a home invasion. "If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! So WITH implies consent," Green wrote. "People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!" he added.
The tweets are not even the worst of it. Holding his views about rape/consent is one thing but his actual actions are much more concerning.
He went on a date with a woman and gave her Ecstacy. She says she blacked out and woke up naked bed with him. Cee Lo says it was consensual sex. The fact that rape charges were brought by the woman would indicate that Cee Lo spiked her drink with the drug without her knowledge. He admits to giving her the drug and then having sex with her. She disputes giving her consent. Sounds like date rape to me.

How have I heard NOTHING about it
I think people were misunderstood what he was trying to say.
