It looks like BET and Karrueche Tran are learning the hard way that you do NOT mess with the Beyhive!
This weekend at the MTV VMAs, little baby Blue Ivy Carter absolutely stole the show when we saw her adorably dancing to momma Beyonce‘s Flawless performance!
But BET decided to poke fun at the heartwarming moment on a segment of 106 & Park called “Top 6 Things Blue Ivy Thought About The VMAs.” The fuss all started when Karrueche made the joke:
“‘I really did wake up like this because my parents never combed my hair.'”
After some uncomfortable giggles, Karruche apologized saying she has nothing but love for BIC! But it was too late, as the Beyhive was on the attack!!
Well president of music programming and specials Stephen G. Hill took to Twitter to offer an apology, saying:
(1/4) Last night on 106 & Park there was a stupid, unthoughtful joke made about a young child.

(2/4)We apologize publically to the child’s parents (and have done so privately) and we have taken punitive actions with those responsible.

(3/4)It was very bad judgment and we will serve you much better in the future.

(4/4) Oh, and please don’t hate on Karrueche; it was NOT her fault. We also apologize to her for putting her in that position.

Well that was nice of them to apologize considering they thought it would be funny to make fun of a 2-year-old on TV!
Unfortunately, the apology was NOT enough as one of the shows producers was SUSPENDED as a result of the tasteless joke!
So what’s the moral of the story?? Don’t make fun of toddlers!!
