CeeLo Green Dropped From U.S. Navy-Sponsored Concert Due To Rape Comments
CeeLo's comments show a "lack of sensitivity towards an issue that is one of the great challenges facing our Navy," Freedom LIVE says.
CeeLo Green has been dropped from the upcoming United States Navy-sponsored event that is scheduled to take place September 20 in Washington, D.C.
"Unfortunately, one of the performers we signed for the JBAB Freedom Live show on 20 September recently posted comments on social media that we consider to completely inconsistent with Navy core values," Freedom LIVE says via Facebook, as per Billboard. "Regardless of intent or context, the lack of sensitivity towards an issue that is one of the great challenges facing our Navy is unacceptable."
CeeLo made and deleted a series of comments on Twitter regarding rape recently. One of them is as follows:
"If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously! so WITH Implies consent."
After deleting various comments, he apologized and said, "I'd never condone the harm of any women."
Green made a no contest plea recently after being accused of furnishing ecstasy to a woman. He was sentenced to probation and community service.
