    Jessica Mulroney Dropped From 'GMA' Following Allegations of Threat Against Black Influencer

    The celebrity stylist and close friend to Meghan Markle has been accused of using white privilege to silence lifestyle blogger Sasha Exeter following an argument over the Black Lives Matter movement.
    Jun 13, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Jessica Mulroney has lost another TV gig after being accused of threatening black influencer Sasha Exeter. Just one day after CTV pulled her “I Do, Redo” series off the air, “Good Morning America” followed suit by announcing that the celebrity stylist will no longer appear as contributor on the morning show.
    The ABC show made the announcement of Mulroney’s exit in a statement released via Twitter on Friday, June 12. “As Jessica Mulroney said last night, she is stepping away from her professional engagements and that includes Good Morning America. She will no longer appear on our show,” the tweet read.
    The close friend to Meghan Markle has worked as a style contributor on “GMA” since November 2018.
    Mulroney came under fire after Exeter alleged that she was using her white privilege to threaten her livelihood following an argument over her “very generic call to action” for the Black Lives Matter movement. In a 12-minute long video posted on Instagram, Exeter claimed that Mulroney’s behavior has left her “paralyzed with fear.”
    “Listen, I am by no means calling [Mulroney] a racist but what I will say is this, she is very well aware of her wealth, her perceived power and privilege because of the color of her skin. And that, my friends, gave her the momentary confidence to come for my livelihood in writing,” Exeter explained. “For her to threaten me – a single mom, a single black mom – during a racial pandemic blows my mind.”
    Mulroney responded to the allegations with a public apology. “I want to say from my heart that every word of my apologies to Sasha over the course of the last two weeks privately, and again both publicly and privately today is true,” she posted on Instagram. “I did not intend in any way to jeopardize her livelihood. We had a disagreement and it got out of hand. For that I am sorry.”
    Though so, the 40-year-old was met with a cutoff from CTV. “Because recent conduct by one of our shows hosts, Jessica Mulroney, conflicts with our commitment to diversity and equality, CTV has removed ‘I DO REDO’ from all Bell Media channels and platforms effective immediately,” the media company announced.
    The announcement prompted Mulroney to issue another apology. In an Instagram Story post, she also stated that she respected CTV’s decision, and announced that she will be stepping away from her professional engagement “to reflect, learn and focus on my family.” She further clarified, “I have no intention of pursuing any legal action. I was wrong, and for that I am truly sorry.”

      Christie Brinkley's Daughter Blames Tone Deaf 'GMA' Interview on 'Editing'

      by

      Instagram

      Sailor Brinkley Cook is disappointed by ‘Good Morning America’ for focusing on her story as a teen growing up with her model mother instead of highlighting ‘the inspirational things’ she said.
      May 31, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Model Sailor Brinkley Cook has apologised to fans and fellow body issue sufferers for the way her latest TV interview was presented.
      Christie Brinkley’s daughter agreed to appear on “Good Morning America” for a segment on Friday, May 29, 2020 to talk about her struggles with body dysmorphia and anorexia after she was told the piece would be part of a hopeful segment about mental health, but she was far from happy with what she saw.
      Sailor took to Instagram on Friday afternoon to distance herself from what she considered a “tone deaf” interview.
      “I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” she wrote. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and (correspondent) Deborah (Roberts), and have nothing negative to say about either one. But I wanted to set some things straight.”
      “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets, but when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational. I ONLY agreed to do it during this awful time in America, because I thought it would be a small beacon of positivity for people who have dealt with the same things as me.”
      “I want to sincerely apologize for the tone deafness of the interview… If I were in control of the editing, it would’ve been shown in a very different light and would’ve highlighted the inspirational things I said rather than the explanation of what I went through as a 15-year-old.”

      Ice Cube Too Upset Over George Floyd's Death to Appear on 'Good Morning America'

      46-year-old Floyd died at the hands of Minnesota police after a white cop kneeled on his neck during an arrest and ignored his plea that he was struggling to breathe.
      May 29, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rapper/actor Ice Cube cancelled a planned TV appearance on Thursday, May 28, because he was in “no mood” to chat following the death of an unarmed black man at the hands of Minnesota police.
      The “Friday” star is among a host of celebrities outraged about the death of George Floyd, who was caught on camera gasping for breath as a white cop kneeled on his neck during an arrest on Monday.
      Floyd, who repeatedly told the arresting officers he was struggling to breathe, lost consciousness at the scene and was pronounced dead at a nearby medical center.

      All four cops involved in the incident, which has sparked violent protests across the U.S., have been fired, and now activists are demanding authorities charge the men with Floyd’s murder.

      Ice Cube vented frustration over George Floyd’s death.
      Ice Cube vented about the latest act of police brutality against African-Americans on Twitter on Tuesday, writing, “How long will we go for Blue on Black Crime before we strike back???” and on Thursday, he revealed he was too angry to go through with his scheduled interview on U.S. breakfast show “Good Morning America” to promote his new film, “The High Note”.

      Ice Cube announced cancellation of his ‘GMA’ appearance.
      Explaining his absence to fans, he tweeted, “I apologize to everyone expecting to see me on Good Morning America today, but after the events in Minnesota with George Floyd, I’m in no mood to tell America, good morning.”

      ABC News Reporter on His Viral 'No Pants' 'GMA' Video: 'WFH Goes Wrong'

      ABC

      Will Reeve shocks viewers of ‘Good Morning America’ as he’s seen doing an interview about pharmacy while looking all proper for the top but hilariously missing his pants.
      Apr 30, 2020
      AceShowbiz – ABC News reporter Will Reeve found himself trending on Internet after he shocked viewers of “Good Morning America” as he appeared for an interview without wearing pants. It didn’t take long for the clip, which saw him and host Amy Robach discussing pharmacy, from the Tuesday, April 28 episode to go viral.
      For the interview, Reeve opted for a proper look for the top, donning a gray suit with a white shirt underneath. Everyone noticed the lack of the pants at the start of the segments, thanks to the unfortunate camera angle. Judging from her facial expression, it seemed like Robach also noticed that Reeve didn’t wear pants at that time.

      Reeve later took to his Twitter account to explain his side following the hilarious incident. “Trying to be efficient, I got ready for a post-GMA workout a little too soon this morning,” he said in a statement posted to Twitter. “The camera angle, along with friends, family and several hundred strangers on social media made me rethink my morning routine.”
      “Any sartorial tips from these people who are wearing a belt, trousers and shoes during their work video calls at home are most welcome,” he added, before joking, “Now, back to work. Wearing pants.”
      “When WFH goes wrong (or, your self-framed live shot goes too wide). Hope everyone got a much needed laugh,” so Reeve captioned his post.

      Will Reeve broke his silence on his hilarious ‘no pants’ incident.
      People did have some laugh because of him as one replied to him, “You made all of us, sitting around in underwear for the last two months, feel normal again. Thank you for that and for having an awesome sense of humor.” One other said, “I can guarantee that you will get more viewers with no shirt and no pants. Conformity is the death of free thinkers. Just roll with your new style. @TomCruise got nothin on you!”
      “Thanks. Great to hear you are owning it. Good for a laugh and now off the radar. Well played! Be well!” another comment read. One person dubbed Reeve’s blunder “a good break from all the serious news. A little levity during these depressing times is welcomed.”
