LOS ANGELES (AP) - At least two companies have pulled ads from the debut of BET's "Hot Ghetto Mess," a series that critics say puts black stereotypes on display but the channel calls "a blend of tough love and social commentary."
State Farm Insurance Cos. and Home Depot asked BET to drop their ads from the series debuting July 25, trade paper The Hollywood Reporter said Tuesday.
Viacom Corp.-owned BET confirmed that sponsors asked to be removed from the show but declined to specify the companies involved.
