13399818, Tavis Smiley Ordered to Pay PBS $2.6 Million for Workplace Affairs
Posted by bigkarma, Mon Aug-17-20 09:45 PM
Does Tavis even HAVE $2.6 milli?

Man, his reputation at BET must have been shit, to where PBS felt the need to sign him to a morals contract. I pretty sure Jim Lehrer, Rick Steves, or Yan Can Cook didn't have to sign a morals clause.

I thought he was going to ask her on a date right there on air, the way he was acting.
13400141, I mean, I'd have been tempted to ask Michael Michelle out...

But I wouldn't have made it so obvious.

Shame she was on 2 of my favorite NBC dramas when they were on the decline (Homicide: LOTS and ER).

And to be clear, screw Tavis...

America has imported more warlord theocracy from Afghanistan than it has exported democracy.

And I wasn't mad at him about the Obama stuff. But, you on tv and 'rich' and you can gtd without preying on women who work for you?
