Blogger/Host B.Scott and BET Going At It Again !

According to TMZ.com

B. Scott, the transgender host who went to war with BET turned down the network's offer to settle their ongoing lawsuit and the gamble could end up costing him 6 figures. 

Scott lost his lawsuit against BET after suing for discrimination. He claimed network execs forced him to change into men's clothes at the BET Awards last year.

Losing the case left Scott on the hook for BET's attorney's fees which, according to court docs obtained by TMZ, totaled $279,000! But in a letter to Scott, his former employer offered to let him off easy for a mere $15,000 ... IF he promised to drop any appeals. 

Scott opted to roll the dice and he rejected the offer, filed an appeal, and now BET is going after him for the fees again demanding at least $150K.

Scott's not backing down, telling us ... "No one will tell me who I should be, how I should present myself, or what I do with my life."

A judge will decide what he does with his money.

Well I like his determination in trying to proof for what he stands for. Good luck B.

Shadyyyy: BET Gets Judge To Throw Out B.Scott Discrimination Lawsuit

BET can dress its hosts however the hell it wants even if that means forcing a transgender person to dress like a man and that's why the judge threw out B. Scott's discrimination lawsuit.

Scott sued the network, claiming it humiliated him during the BET Awards last year by forcing him to change from women's clothes into men's clothes ... and then yanking him off the show entirely.

But the judge in the case just ruled in the network's favor, dismissing the lawsuit.

The judge ruled BET has the 1st Amendment right to run its shows the way it wants ... and that includes ordering Scott to change from women's to men's clothes ... and that's that.

Scott says, "It disheartens me that the message sent today wasn't a message of acceptance, but rather it's acceptable to discriminate against transgender individuals on the basis of their gender identity and expression."

Scott's attorney has said he plans to appeal the decision.
