Janelle Monae (below) has revealed that Kim Burrell has been denied access to ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show‘ after she launched a Bible-based assault on gay men and women.
Burrell was enlisted to support Monae‘s new movie ‘Hidden Figures’ by performing on its soundtrack.
Alas, after leaked footage saw her condemn “the spirit of homosexuality”, she learned that she scheduled promotional appearance on ‘Ellen’ had been axed.
Monae broke the news.
I came to tell you about sin. That sin nature… That perverted homosexual spirit, and the spirit of delusion and confusion, it has deceived many men and women… You as a man, you open your mouth and take a man’s penis in your face, you are perverted. You are a woman and will shake your face in another woman’s breast, you are perverted.
Why did Kim Burrell apologize for her public opinion about homosexuality do we not have the right of freedom of speech anymore

Do you, like many in the religious community, feel Burrell is being unfairly punished?

Bit*h bye. This is what’s not going to happen in 2017. Big ole hypocrite. Glad Ellen did the right thing. Stop spreading hate especially when you need gays to help put food in your mouth.
Media: It’s ok to give platforms to the alt right /white supremacists. Freedom of speech. Media: How dare she express her opinion.” Who gets to decide what is and isn’t covered by freedom of speech? Who decides that it’s ok to bash Mexicans but not ok to bash gay people?
Girl, pick yourself up, and deal with the damn issue at hand. If the issue is with the media, take it up with them. Start your own damn campaign.
In this case, y’all should know – freedom of speech is NOT unlimited. For example, there are LIBEL laws and HATE SPEECH laws. While Kim bordered on the latter, she didn’t commit this crime – but she DOES need to face the consequences of what she said.
Sure she has the freedom to say whatever she pleases but she better be prepared to deal with any consequences also allowed under the law and constitution. She’s free to speak and Ellen is free to pull her from her lineup and the public is free to respond as they see fit.
I don’t agree with Kim but didn’t we have an entire year of white supremacists justifying their racism on the same platforms people want Kim banned by?
What does that have to do with this? Two wrongs don’t make a right. I hate when people change the subject and use one example of hate to try to minimize, justify, or divert from another one.
I wanted her to go on the show so she and Ellen could discuss what she said. To be honest, people need to see that God and the man made establishment that is the Church aren’t the same thing. Go straight to the source.
She can go on another platform to discuss her feelings. Maybe the Wendy Williams show or something, NOT Ellen. 1st of all Ellen is gay and has a huge gay following, she doesn’t need to jeopardize her success for an interview with a nobody. Kim didn’t think before she went and act completely reckless, now she can take that mess somewhere else and figure it out. it would be very uncomfortable for Ellen to interview someone who has pure hatred to her kind.
Wendy is not going to Kim come on her show either out of respect to her gay fans
Ellen is too classy for this s***. Auntie Wendy would come for this b****’s scalp.
Oh yes, then go to the source and speak to god. Oh wait…no one has ever, cause god is an invention by the men who created church. When will people understand that god and religion itself is just the oldest business model as well as power model to suppress others…
I agree. If you go straight to “God” you will hear nothing but crickets unless you have a really good imagination.
I wished that she could go on, because the problem will not be resolved until we sit down and speak together on the issues.
I can dig that, but ELLEN is NOT the forum. TD Jakes’ show, the Breakfast Club, the Donnie McClurkin show – perhaps one of those forums would be more appropriate.
Well, clearly, Kim thought the issue was resolved when she did that apology! #BOOP
I support Kim Burrell!
You have some mighty strong shoulders.
Back, spinal cord, legs, knees, thighs, feet, and floor.
Bhahahahahahahahaha??
It’s one thing to disagree with the gay lifestyle. I get it, all religions do. But what Mrs Burrell did was spew HATE! Her sermon/rant didn’t have an ounce of love in it. How dare she disrespect her core following. Then her words about Bishop Long were just as evil. Mrs Burrell, you just missed out on any chance at going mainstream. You’ll forever be performing in storefront churches. I never liked her anyway. ?
My exact feelings. Spot on!
Kim has the freedom of speech for her hate….and so do the rest of us that live without judgement and are more focused on the loving aspect of God. And we say, f*** you. She probably made some gay Christian kids that worshipped her feel even more desperate, unloved and pushed deeper into the closet. Really not here for it Kim. GURL BYE.
Good point! She spoke from a place of hate and not love. I wonder if she feels as strongly about dead beat dads and priests who steal from their congregations and call it “tithes”
GO ELLEN! Kick that h** ass out. TV and all media should be platforms to spread only positivity and conceal, and that starts with the people that get the spotlight on them. Bye for good Kim Boorel, I used to like your music but all of the sudden I erased from everywhere.
F*** Burrell, f*** her music and f*** her stupid film. She gets not a dime from me.
WAIT….It is NOT Kim Burrell’s film. She doesn’t even appear in the movie but simply sings on one song on the soundtrack. Let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water (as the saying goes). I will SUPPORT Janelle, Taraji, and Octavia…
I’m glad she got the boot although it would have been cool for Ellen to ask her her reasonings and watching the bish squirm out of it
The reality is, she wouldn’t have squirmed she would have been as slippery as people like her usually are. Professing love thy neighbour and all that ‘I accept gays I just don’t agree with it’ BS that people with straight privilege get to spew when they need a donkey to kick.
I agree with you I also think nothing will be learned from this she will still have those opinions but maybe she will be less vocal about them. I believe in free speech but as a gay man it doesn’t feel good when someone tells me the way I live my life is perverted. To me her views are perverted
Would Ellen be so quick to boot her from her show if she was a racist? While I don’t agree with Kim it’s her opinion.
would you dare say the same and ask the same retarded ass question if this was a racism issue and a black presenter booted her from their show?
Yes f*****.
Did you watch the video? Her “opinion” was nasty & hate filled! I’ve heard several pastors speak out against homosexuality but none were as hateful and graphic as she was.
Chile, you know this country isn’t outraged by racism. We’ll gladly accommodate you if you hate black people. Who cares? But once you start going after other people, hell is raised. I don’t agree with Kim’s comments either, but the way I see it, This is no different from the publicity Tomi Lahren got on the daily show. Not only did she get the press, she also got pink fluffy cupcakes delivered with care. ☺️
Okaaaaaaay! That’s what I was saying.
Where’s the lie? Not only did Trevor Noah send her cupcakes but you also had that self-hating negro, Charlamagne caping for her left and right. Look at the treatment she received. Her “hate filled and nasty” opinions were directed towards the black community, and yet they were entertained. I wonder why. You have to be blind, deaf, and dumb if you don’t see the way that racism is tolerated here, as opposed to everything else. We need to do better.
I have to agree. I’ve seen at least a handful of people loose their jobs because of reckless racist comments towards black and Michelle Obama. So no, blatant racism doesn’t get a pass either. The key word is BLATANT.
Nope it be said we need to hear Why they feel this way,or Maybe they need Counseling Blacks better wake up !!! You get a pass for your rants againts Blacks
Nope!!/It would be
Janelle is NOT here for the negativity whether it’s against LGBT or against Burrell’s sad ass even tho she had it coming. love it!
Good call Ellen. Oprah had a show about racism and these racist skin heads were guest on her show and they called her a M*****. After that she said that was a big learning lesson for her and she would NEVER allow people use her show as a platform for ignorance or her.
GOOD! That b**** is so arrogant and nasty. She acts as if she’s gods gift when artists like Yolanda Adams and Tamala Mann have surpassed her in every way. I remember watching her on FB Live and she told a fan that she won’t sing for free. Fantasia gets on FB live and sings all the time. Humble yourself b****!
FANTASIA DONT KNOW ANY BETTER SHE JUST AS DUMB AS A DOORKNOB, AND FANTASIA TRYING TO GET MAINSTREAM ATTENTION WHICH SHE NEVER WILL, KIM BURRELL WILL MAKE FANTASIA EAT HER DUST SINGING
Too bad Kim Burrell’s fat ashy voiced Ass is unknown outside of Mt Calvary Baptist Church. Fantasia is a multi platinum, Grammy award winning artist….something Kim ASPIRES to be. Not even Whitney could make her relevant. Hahahahaha!
Christians need to stop relying on the world’s platform to get their ministry and message across; as you can clearly see it’s not reliable. They also must stop collaborating with a bunch of artists who don’t share their beliefs.
Kim was ungracious in her words but her beliefs matched Christian doctrine; homosexuality, in practice, is sin. Some countries execute people for this, in America you’re free to love almost anyway you want. Let’s focus in the major issues and not just the USA.
Thank YOU !!!
She was talking s*** about gay ppl. Ellen gay unless I’ve been misinformed. Why would I invite someone to my house who dogs me when they think I’m not listening. She can go on straight talk show host shows tho just not the perverts.
What you all don’t realize is that “freedom” isn’t free. There is always a price to pay. Kim has the “right” to say whatever she wants and have her opinions, but people also have the “right” to react to her opinions. You think gay people are sinners? Great, but people are entitled to their reactions due to your opinions, such as not supporting you, or giving their opinions on your opinions. Think before you speak, especially if you are a celebrity or public figure that counts on support and consumers to get them coins.
Im glad! No one on this earth has the right to judge anyone. It says this in the Bible. Even if u don’t approve of someone’s lifestyle it’s not your place to jude. You r supposed to love everyone and God will handle the rest. I don’t feel bad for her at all, she seems mean spirited just my observation not a judgement I just get that vibe from her
To the girl in the Twitter post:
“Freedom Speech” still has exist and you’re more then welcome to say how you feel but just know that there is a consequence to what you say.
Well, Honestly Ive never liked Kims attitude and demeanor.
However, I wont let my dislike for her character cloud my judgement of this situation.
–
Im glad she will not be allowed to perform on Ellen. And somebody with Kims platform has got to be more wise about their words, There are consequences for your actions. She was ignorant in thinking she could get away with what she said, she is in a business where there are LGBT people all around! So to straddle the fence and play both sides by working with gays, and then talking so hatefully about them is disgusting. and she deserves these consequences. Maybe her song should be removed from the soundtrack as well.
–
And people need to stop with this attacking “The church” because majority cant tell the difference from Religion & Church! People group it together. Religion has dont the most harm, and people take their hate and anger out on God because of people twisted views brought up in a religious world view.
Christian should take their money and boycott anything with Jonae what ever her name is don’t go see the movie she in but buy Kim’s sound track ummm
Tomi Lahren spews racism and gets invited into talk shows. Kim is homophobic and gets booted from talk shows. Is the message here that America prioritises the former over the latter?
I’m ok with this just as long as we accept that the media is ok with racism but not ok with homophobia. You say it’s good for her to be banned because she doesn’t deserve the platform.Ok. But do you think the families of Mike Brown and Trayvon wanted to see Tomi rationalise their murders on live Tv every night. Don’t be fooled by any of this talk about equality. Some minorities are more valued than others.
Also. How many people who are happy about Kim’s blackballing signed the petition to have Tomi taken off the air? If you didn’t ask yourself why one is more important to you than the other.
I think this will all work out in Kim’s favor. Many people that think like her did not know who she is and now they do. She does not need Ellen’s platform. She can book another gig to talk about this issue. Ellen keeps her show light so I doubt Ellen would want to interview her about this. Ellen would just keep it light with a couple jokes and questions about the soundtrack / movie.
The problem is not her being against homosexuality. The problem is her spreading hate message through her role as as pastor.
She talks about gay people should die in 2017 but cash some checks on the backs of gay artists??
wow, what a great way of living !
Freedom of speech is not a one-way street. Your speech elicits responses. Whatever your are free to say, the listeners have a right to say whatever they like in response. Just because you’re at liberty to flaunt your bigotry, prejudice, hatred and intolerance that doesn’t mean such behavior will be suffered or left unpunished. That’s why that racist basketball team owner was banned from the NBA. Its supremely stupid to expect LGBTI members to just take it from religious imbeciles and not do anything, its not the Victorian Era. When people show you who they really are, you must believe them. I didn’t say that Maya Angelou did. Kim is a disgusting, unrepentant bigot who was born bred and marinated to believe that LGBTI are worthless half-breeds and nothing can be done to change that. NOTHING is immune to criticism ESPECIALLY religion. Last time I checked, America was secular NOT theocratic.
I don’t believe in God, I do believe that something created this world and that something is probably a woman not a man. I like both men and women but as I believe in evolution, for as people to perpetuate our species’s we need to procreate…And this is possible only between a men and a woman. For animals procreation is important, no bebies = death of the species. for as people is simple. We have technology! So, only from this point of view I bilive being gay is not natural. Sorry for my English 🙁
She should have think before she speak
