she sold her company and now she is pissed! #chileplease I use to love watching teen summit when I was in high school that was a very postive and inspirational programs!!
Sheila knows BET started becoming EBT under her watch, she needs to SATDOWN! The sale to Viacom didn’t start this fcukery, she could have made a difference when she was there, but decided to succumb to the pre$$ure and let things deteriorate. I like Sheila, but she needs to own up to her portion of the blame.
Totally AGREE with BOTH of you… And I Don’t LIKE Her !!! ***LMAO***
Shes got a damn nerve she needs to shut up, if she was so concerned about BET and its programming she shoulda never sold it.

Ppl always like to blame things on new management, it’s easier. When you are compassionate about something you started you don’t sell something w/out knowing the intentions of the new owner, Your name will always be attached as the “founder/creator”. I agree with others, Ms. Johnson knew BET was going downhill before she left. If it was not for the sterotype reality shows on BET most would not watch. I know more white ppl who watch BET vs. blacks.
