Celebrity Feuds
Face-Off -- Rev vs. Revved Up

The Reverend Al Sharpton and our very own Harvey Levin went head-to-head over RobohoGate.


TMZ used the word "Roboho" two weeks ago in a humorous fashion review to describe an outfit Beyonce wore in performance at the BET Awards. In a statement to TMZ, The Rev said the use of the word was racist and misogynistic. TMZ respectfully disagreed.

Listen to both arguments -- and vote!

64. I agree with America and brijett. Al is always trying to start trouble. TMZ ribs everyone. Black, white, asian, hispanic... It wasn't about Beyonce or race. It was about her outfit. Its funny everytime something gets said Al is right there to raise hell about it. But with any other race he is no where to be found. If your going to stand up Al, stand up for all races, not just one.
Maybe you need to look in your own back yard before you start screaming racism around every corner. You are beginning to look quite the part yourself.

65. I've seen TMZ delete several comments on the other thread that didn't back TMZ up.
WHERE THE HELL IS THE FREE SPEECH ? TMZ SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

69. Harvey, i love TMZ and the coverage you guys bust your ass to provide. However LEave THIS oNe Alone! seriously!.. you push this thing further with polls and asking reader's who's right and who's wrong, just lets us readers meet the real racist and prejudice people who visit this site along with us. Which quite frankly is a turnoff. Furthermore. you're comment about the suit being referred to as ROBOHO and not Beyonce, made you look stupid and TMZ as a whole Hypocritical.. OWN up to he Headline and defend it. IF you think She a Ho Then She A ho, but if you going to be tossing around BLACK -originated termninology like that and try to be funny, provide us with something that provide evidence of this.. Her costume wasn't that Ho-ish, and Beyonce don't really do Ho -ish things.. hey wait a minute come to think of it. Why did you call her a HO was it becuz she's black?

70. al sharpton is a republican shill sent in to divert the topic. don't trust a word he says ever again. He is in very tight with a republican strategist.

71. TMZ you guys should look into a show last year where Kylie Minogue is wearing a similar ROBOHO outfit. Matter of Fact Beyonce damn near repeated the same rountine that Kylie did last year....Roboho Copycat!

72. TZM is just being funny in a light hearted way.

Posted at 3:04PM on Jul 10th 2007 by The great one

73. The so called "Rev" is a race pimp and looking for ways to squeeze money out of people, the same as Jesse Jackson. When Al is on TV I turn the channel.

74. The only HO here is Sharpton. Go lay down, Al!

75. I'd like to quote one of our favorite rappers Ludacris in this situation, this is for you Mr. Sharpton:
Hooooooooo (Ho)
Youza Hoooooo (Ho)
Youza Hoooooo (Ho)
I said that youza hooooo (Ho)
You doin ho activities
With ho tendencies
Hos are your friends, hoes are your enemies
With ho energy to do whacha do
Blew whacha blew
Screw whacha screw
Yall professional like DJ Clue, pullin on my coat tail
an why do you think you take a ho to a hotel?
Hotel everybody, even the mayor
Reach up in tha sky for tha hozone laya
Come on playa once a ho always
And hos never close they open like hallways
An heres a ho cake for you whole ho crew
an everybody wants some cuz hoes gotta eat too
