Does anyone still watch BET’s 106 & Park? I’m just asking because this next piece might be of interest to you if you’re one of the few holdovers from the Free and AJ era.
The urban blogosphere is buzzing about the alleged friction between Rocsi and Terrence on BET’s 106 & Park last Thursday which resulted in Rocsi storming off the set. In reality, the alleged beef was actually a staged publicity stunt – and not a very good one at that.
The terrible acting left the live studio audience looking lost and confused. It all started when Terrence clowned Rocsi for incorrectly reading an email address off the teleprompter. He then read the same email address incorrectly three times in a row!
Terrence’s juvenile antics continued throughout the show until Rocsi – who may or may not have been in on the stunt – decided she had enough and walked off the set.
Fortunately, my loyal readers didn’t fall for the okey doke: they remember when the same thing happened back in 2005 with Free walking off the set leaving AJ holding the mic. Eventually, both Free and AJ were forced out when they refused to accept a wage freeze.
Look for either Rocsi or Terrence (or both) to leave the show in the upcoming days. The ratings for 106 & Park are at the lowest in the show’s history and management is desperate to make a change.
