Gabrielle Union made headlines today when news of her lawsuit against BET hit the wire.

The timing of filing (and indeed the filing itself) shocked many, given that season 4 of her hit series ‘Being Mary Jane’ launches in January on…BET.

Per reports, Union is unhappy due to strategic plays she feels are being made to get more out of her – for less money.

As reported, her suit read:

“BET represented and assured Ms. Union before she agreed to perform in Being Mary Jane that it would never produce more than thirteen (13) episodes per season of the series. BET now wants to shoot twenty (20) episodes of the series back-to-back and cram all of the episodes into a single season in order to fraudulently extend the term of Ms. Union’s contract, with no additional consideration, and to deprive Ms. Union of her agreed-upon compensation for the next two seasons of ‘Being Mary Jane.’

Wasting no time, BET have clapped-back. Read their response below…

Her epic reach on CNN has left her reaching for wig glue after a certain fan group got wind of her ill-fated comments.

That’s right, just as we reported here, Trump surrogate/economic advisor Betsy McCaughey is undoubtedly in need of some advising of her own after she unsuccessfully attempted to discredit Hillary Clinton by suggesting the former Secretary of State’s love for pop superstar Beyonce is just as bad as Trump’s misogynistic rant from 2005.

Even going as far as quoting NSFW-lyrics from Bey’s 2016 hit ‘Formation’ to support her argument, McCaughey delivered some seriously cringe-worthy TV – a feat that earned her a swarm of Beyhive stings.  Now, just days after the infraction, Betsy’s gone bye bye.

Get updated below if you missed any of this action from earlier this week:
