CeeLo Green dropped from BayFest in Alabama over controversial rape comments

CeeLo Green was dropped from yet another concert on Monday, with the latest being Mobile, Alabama's BayFest.

The Grammy-winning musician was set to play there on Oct. 4, Reuters reports. The cancellation is now the third for the "Forget You" singer.

As previously reported, the Gretna Heritage Festival in Louisiana announced they were dropping him as a headliner. The Freedom Live also cancelled his upcoming appearing, openly noting that they were doing so because of Green's controversial comments.

Green pleaded no contest to furnishing a controlled substance after prosecutors were unable to make a rape charge stick. He is able to maintain his innocence due to the special plea, but then he stuck his foot in his mouth over some tweets he made.

In the now deleted tweets, Green wrote, "If someone is passed out they're not even WITH you consciously. People who have really been raped REMEMBER!!!"

Unsurprisingly that and another tweet didn't go down all that well and he apologized for what he wrote and said, "Those comments were idiotic, untrue and not what I believe."

In addition to losing three music gigs, his unscripted series The Good Life was axed by TBS. The network claimed that it was not due to the comments, but rather the poor ratings. The show averaged only 677,000 viewers per episode.
