"Thank you Rev. Sharpton. In response to your statement questioning TMZ’s use of the term “roboho,” first and foremost, please note that we called Beyonce’s performance outfit “roboho” not Ms. Knowles herself. There is a difference. One need not know a celebrity personally to have an opinion on their wardrobe. Joan Rivers created an entire industry based on this fact.
As to accusations that our comment was racially motivated, TMZ has humorously called
into question many celebs for wearing racy outfits — regardless of their race.
In the past, TMZ referred to Victoria Beckham, aka Posh Spice, as “poshtitute,” Hulk Hogan’s daughter a “working girl” and called Lindsay Lohan’s trashy ensemble a “HO-rror.” A tight mini-dress is a tight mini-dress! Even Kid Rock got a humorous “ho” reference in a December 2006 story, and last we checked, he was neither Black nor a woman."
First of all, when did "ho" become a racial term, and is it one that the black community wants to turn into a racial term? Second of all, doesn't Al Sharpton have better things to do with his time than defend what really is an ugly outfit. Third, he really should have done his background on this one, it makes him look like a dumbell, reading TMZ for any amount of time at all will show you the mockery that they heap on everyone. They set the tone for the news that gets pushed around the net from blog to blog.
