The only reason BGP cares is because he was a jerk to disabled kid from NKY.

 

Bingo.

Maybe this was the lesson he needed to stop sticking his phone in anyone's face whether they are disabled or not. I mean, who does that? Walks up to a complete stranger, starts making fun of them and videotapes the entire interaction?! I hope it does hit him in his wallet. I am sure the only reason he issued an apology was because it was going to cost him financially.

 

You ever heard of World Star Hip Hop? Vine? What's that prank show on TBS? Ridiculousness. It happens quite a bit actually.

Nobody would pay attention to something posted by "Random Joe", so the action would not be as far reaching, humiliating and damaging.

 

I would think for the kid, the situation would be humiliating and damaging regardless who did it.

The parents are not suing. They accepted his apology, asked that he make a donation to Autism Speaks and are moving on.

 

Perfect response.

Fantactic. Hope 50 follows through with their request.

I ordered an Effen vodka last night at Ruby's and the waiter got a chuckle out of it. Asked him why Ruby pulled the 25k reward for the Ohio murders and he said they got a note that they were not to comment on that decision.

I'd like to give you all some information on this.

As you may or may not know, my wife is the state manager for Beam Suntory (Jim Beam Brands).

Beam owns Effen vodka.

50 Cent was scheduled to come to Louisville tomorrow afternoon and do a couple of appearances. One was a black tie event at the Galt House tomorrow night called Unbridled Eve. The other was a performance at a play called Liv!

Yesterday, Beam Suntory of Kentucky let 50 Cent and his people know they were not welcomed in Kentucky at this time. Therefore, he will not be the guest of my wife and her company for any of the events that have their name on them.

My wife says this was an easy decision. She wanted me to tell you guys she was sorry for the incident, but I told her I'm not putting that on here because she did nothing wrong.

5 Cent Donates $1k to Autism Speaks | TMZ.com

 

50 Cent just went above and beyond to make good with the 19-year-old man he mocked on social media -- he's donated $100,000 to Autism Speaks ... TMZ has learned.

Fiddy referred to the video he posted of Andrew Farrell, saying, "I want to turn this misunderstanding into an understanding. There are people that are ignored, mistreated and neglected with disabilities that need our support."

Farrell's family had asked him to donate $10k to the autism advocacy group -- so ya can't say 50 did the bare minimum in making his mea culpa.

The rapper added, "I am calling on my fellow musicians, actors, entertainers and all others who may not have fully considered this cause to join together to help in any way they can."

 

Damage control

 

But good for him for manning up and ponying up $100k

I'm surprised he followed through with it. The public fallout got to him. I'm glad he followed through. I still don't like him.
