‘Transgender anchor sues BET for $2.5 million because he couldn’t host segment in drag’

August 9, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

This should be good…

On June 30, Sessoms felt led by that “spirit” to wear a flowing sheer caftan, loose-fitting women’s pants, and high-heeled pumps to host a fashion-themed red-carpet pre-show at the BET awards in Los Angeles.

He wore his long hair sleek and loose, and applied a full face of dramatic makeup.

He says that after his first interview, a BET employee pulled him aside and told him his attire “wasn’t acceptable.” He said he was asked to pull his hair back into a ponytail, take off most of his makeup, and change into a fitted blue blazer, slim-fit black pants, and sparkly blue flats – a look he deemed too “masculine.”
