CeeLo Green
Artist CeeLo Green has made great advances in the music industry, where he has fans from all different backgrounds. As a result, he was chosen to be a celebrity judge on NBC’s hit talent show The Voice.
It came as a surprise last month when he posted a series of controversial tweets about rape. Green’s tweets were related to a court case in which he pleaded no contest to a felony count of Ecstasy possession after he was accused of giving a woman the drug without her knowledge on a date in 2012. The woman said she woke up in bed with him the next day and had no memory of the night before. The star claimed that they had consensual sex, and prosecutors didn’t press rape charges.
Green took to Twitter to defend himself recently. “If someone is passed out they’re not even WITH you consciously, so WITH Implies consent,” he wrote in a tweet. “People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!”
