Billy Bush spoke out in support of Black Lives Matter, but his former ‘Access Hollywood’ co-star Shaun Robinson isn’t quite having it.
Shaun Robinson, who was on the show for 16 years, tweeted at the anchor on Wednesday, “I appreciate you being an ally NOW” in response to a promotional link Bush tweeted out about him discussing George Floyd’s murder with correspondent and former NFL player Nate Burleson.
She continued, “If you want to talk about the pain #WhitePrivilege causes African Americans, you should probably also talk to the black woman who sat next to you on the set of #AccessHollywood for years.”
A rep for Bush did not comment.
There was no response from NBC.
Not too much “ally” talk now, Shaun. We remember you canceled an Access Hollywood interview with B. Scott about his discrimination because of your relationship with BET!
Good Morning @thebillybush. I appreciate you being an ally NOW. But, if you want to talk about the pain #WhitePrivilege causes African Americans, you should probably also talk to the black woman who sat next to you on the set of #AccessHollywood for years. https://t.co/CN5jnJ4NOb
