"Tavis Smiley Ordered to Pay PBS $2.6 Million for Workplace Affairs"


  

          

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.

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...

He should've been worried about running his show with some professionalism.

not sure about anyone else but CBS paid as well.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

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?
