BET Apologizes to B. Scott

Clash over style correspondent's attire was miscommunication.

Fashion blogger B. Scott, a style correspondent for this year's BET Awards, expressed disappointment on Monday over a request from show producers to change his look before going on-camera at the Style Stage for the 2013 BET Awards. BET Networks has released the following statement regarding the matter:

“BET Networks embraces global diversity in all its forms and seeks to maintain an inclusive workforce and a culture that values all perspectives and backgrounds,” the statement read. “The incident with B. Scott was a singular one with a series of unfortunate miscommunications from both parties. We regret any unintentional offense to B. Scott and anyone within the LGBT community and we seek to continue embracing all gender expressions.”
