B.Scott Accompanies Laverne Cox to BET Awards

*Celebrity blogger B.Scott sued BET and its parent company Viacom for millions after accusing them of gender discrimination. He vowed to continue fighting the network, as well as gender inequality, after a dismissed lawsuit in April of 2014. However, earlier this year Scott and the network quietly settled and the details of the settlement remain on lock.

While we’re happy Scott was able to close that unfortunate chapter of his life, we experienced a WTF moment when we saw Scott sitting front row at the 2015 BET Awards on Sunday. They back cool like that?

Hmm, so it seems.

The network and the blogger have  apparently kissed and all has been forgiven. “Orange Is the New Black” star Laverne Cox took Scott as her date to the event. Still, fans had questions, so they hit up Scott’s social media inquiring about his appearance on the show, and on Tuesday, Scott responded with the following statement:

Dear love muffins,

Since I started my career, it’s always been important for me to give each opportunity my best — which includes presenting myself in a manner that I feel is true for me.

Now that BET and I have reached a settlement that I am more than pleased with, it was truly wonderful to be able to attend the BET Awards, walk the red carpet, and sit front row in the manner I originally intended.

Since my dust-up with BET, I’m sure you love muffins have seen an increase in LGBT representation on the network. It makes my heart smile to know that I was a part of that change.

This is much bigger than being transgender; this is about everyone having the equal right to express themselves however they choose.

I would like to thank all my love muffins, BET, Debra Lee and Stephen Hill.

I would also like to send a special thank you to my sister, Laverne Cox, for being the legendary lady that she is and for being such a great gal pal!

We SLAYED! Point. Blank. Period.

Double Kisses xoxo!
