Marlon gave Vlad a fuck you price letting Vlad know that he didn't fuck with him. Vlad got his feelings hurt because he thought that everyone liked him and was shocked that Marlon didn't.
Vlad being Vlad he got moist and aired out his issues with Marlon and the offer. Which was wrong and he definitely shouldn't have done that. That's just bad business and shows the type of person he is. But he got in his feelings and had to let it out.
But Vlad wasn't wrong. Marlon wasn't getting views like that and it would've been a bad investment to give him 40k plus 30% residuals.
Regarding the viewing numbers on Shannon's show. That's generally the viewership numbers on his show of guest that people like and are familiar with.
I don't think anyone argues ANY of that.
I understand the interviews numbers. Marlon asking price. And the subsequent Shay Shay number benefitting from the controversy. So what? It isn't unique at all. All that is standard practice.
Let's concentrate on the most important part.
Vlad was WRONG
Not just wrong but unprofessional
He would not have done that to a white guest.
And he QUADRUPLED DOWN by using other black guests to justify his fuckery
And he publicly tried to use gay slurs and gay jokes to go after Marlon support of his kid.
He's a white privileged piece of sh*t for that and we have ourselves to blame for empowering him.
Everything you said is true.
But the only part we need to focus on is Vlad blatant continued disrespect of our "culture".
If Vlad doesn't release the email discussion... what happens?
Vlad didn't do this HELP Marlon.
He did it to HURT that Black man, father, entertainment legend.
That's it that's all.
Everything else is showing at least lowest rung of support we could show to legends like Marlon and black led platforms.
I'm going it click that interview everyday for a month just off gp.
