“If you were a heterosexual at BET in the New York offices, you were basically an outcast…that man (Stephen Hill) destroyed my initial dreams, he ruined my relationship with certain people.” ~ David K. Far-El
HSK Exclusive - The man who played a key role in the success of BET’s longest running hip hop/rap show Rap City, says his former boss and the current president of BET, Stephen Hill, is the type of man who uses his position to make his employees put out sexually or get out.
In part one of this four part exclusive interview with Jacky Jasper, David K. Far-El reveals what he says was an extremely uncomfortable encounter with Hill – which ultimately led to him being blacklisted in the field of entertainment.
“I’m not talking from a homophobic aspect here, I never in all my life felt so uncomfortable around a gay person the way I felt around the current President of BET,” says Far-El, of his Hill in-car experience in which he did not comply with. “When I got out the car, my man gave me this limp wack hand shake, he looked at me with disgust in his face, like he was disappointed — I walked out of BET Friday, the golden child — I came back to BET that Monday, suddenly I was the black sheep.”
During this very shocking conversation, Jacky Jasper learns how one mans journey to follow his dream career was attempted to be revoked, all because he wasn’t down with Stephen Hill’s sexual ritualistic program. It’s an encounter which Far-El has documented in his book “BET, DBRAD & ME – A Conversation w/ David K. Far-El” – “A humorous yet, provocative conversation, entailing his career in the television and music industry”, available at LuLu.com and Amazon.com/Kindle Books.
This book chronicles the authors life in the television/music industry in the urban market,from Black Entertainment Television to the Chappelle show. The author delivered a crisp, humourous, yet informative story line, which keeps you hooked. This book is for anyone who is interested in this field of work as well as those of us, who just want to know what goes on behind the scenes. All I have to say is “WOW”, it will totally change your perception about the business of music and television. The stuff that goes on….unbelievable! –Amazon

I know for a fact, that this is true! My homeboy was on Season 1 of COLLEGE HiLL BET…. He said, he had been selected to be on the show by Tracy Edmonds who was executive producer and they were only gonna give him about $400 an episode! (CHEAP ASSES) He didn’t agree to the seemingly low pay so they renogotiated. He wound up making (i think) about $3k an episode instead. When Steven Hill found out about this, he HIT THE ROOF!! He pulled my homeboy over to the side and said, “You Gon Have To Do A Little Extra For That”! even though the money was coming from the EDMONDS CAMP. My friend said he really didn’t know what Stephen was talking about. he thought he meant X-Tra Promo or something! But he surely found out!! To make a long story short. Stephen Hill and his boyfriend wanted to have a threesome with my partna’! He denied the 2 of them and Stephen went furious and told him, “You wont be able to get a job as janitor in this business once, I put the word out about You”! l(Alot more to the sory, BUT YOU GET THE POINT!!

SMH IT’S VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT THIS HAPPENS TO PEOPLE. I HAVE HEARD THINGS ABOUT THIS MAN TOO BECAUSE A FRIEND OF MINE INTERNED AT BET, AND ALOT OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE WHO KNOW THINGS DON’T COME FORWARD BECAUSE PEOPLE ASSUME THAT THEY’RE A JILTED EX-EMPLOYEE (@ LEAST THAT WAS WHAT SHE HAD EXPERIENCED WHEN SHE WOULD TALK ABOUT IT. EVEN SOME OF HER FAMILY WERE DOUBTING HER STORY BECAUSE SHE WAS UPSET ABOUT THEM ENDING HER INTERNSHIP.

You can tell something is wrong with management over at BET…I can’t call it but something is not right…that’s all I know.
[Reply]
Yeah the industry is full of gay people and they discriminate if you not gay. That’s why a lot of talented artists no longer fuck with the industry.
[Reply]
This is too much, sin, shame, disgusting, no one should have to go through this..This must be something that been going on for way to long and I guess what’s done to them most will also do it to other’s instead of doing what’s right and stop it!
[Reply]
Oh, glad Dbrad is speaking out about it!
[Reply]
Something needs to be done about all this fukery going on at BET. The only way to end this is to start at the top. MJ made enough noise to get rid of Matolla at Sony. The same strategy needs to be put in place to get rid of this nut at BET. It’s time to stop this nonsense and get a few more harrassment charges against this azzhole. Damn any industry, fame or fortune that’s gonna cost you your soul and your peace of mind.
If you swing that way…whatever. But to be forced into this type of action to keep a job or gain some leverage…not acceptable.
May they rot in hell with their devil worshipping raggedy azzes.

Men like Stephen Hill are everything a black man shouldnt be. His behavior is pure EVIL. He is out of touch with his spiritual side.
[Reply]
its not a gay or straight thing… Stephen hill is no different than any other predator regardless of sexual preference!
[Reply]
@ Jami, You are so right when you look at some of these artist in the eyes you can see their soul is missing. So when your not down for selling your soul to the devil they make it hard for you so you can sell your soul. And everybody know that to sell your soul you have to get it in the butt because WHAT it’s an abomination to GOD you can’t come back from that…

You’re ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! Look at television. There are LOTS more gays on tv. And if the show doesnt have gays the men are cross dressing. Or the jokes and punchlines have gay underTONES…. Even the new CHETTOHS commercial is GAY! Where the guy like the cheese off of the other guys FINGERS!! That is a DIRECT ATTACK at the spirits of HETEROSEXUAL MEN/WOMEN……

Jacky, thanks so much for shining a light on predators like Stephen Hill and others in the music & media industry.
Not only is Stephen Hill a predator, he’s also responsible for this BS rap music permeating the airwaves. There’s a reason Common and other talented rappers get no play, but brain-dead lyricists like Soulja Boy do…not to mention all these rappers sagging pants, ass out, lookin like prison bitches.
Jacky, keep this topic going…people need to realize that their sons, brothers & husbands can get sexually harassed just as much as females do. Parents need to teach their sons how to protect themselves from abuse, just as they would teach their daughters.
Between the prison & music industries, we’ve got a generation of sexually abused males on the rise.

Im not liking hearing all of these black businesses are being own by white people that messed up now we gotta worry about BET screwing over our people too! comeon we gotta get out ish together fast.. I even heard white companys are buying black own companies but keeping black faces on the product to keep the customers now I dont know how true that is but that messed up because I heard Necole Bitchie doesnt own her site anymore either so I dont know who my comment is going to at all so I cant talk about BET they way I want to because if I complain and this is no longer Jacki’s site then I would be complaining about my people to another race of people and that will cause some bull ish for my people… but I will say this Stephen Hill needs to stop what he is doing if he is making his own people feel like they have switch their sexuality in order to work for him… because he never has to worry about switching his if he is gay

Come on, we gotta get our ish together fast.. I even heard white companys are buying black own companies but keeping black faces on the product to keep the urban inner city customers (black business cant be carried by a family member like whites been doing all the time!)I dont know not a one white company who has sold their business to a black person without asking all of their familymembers to chip in and save the businnes… but we as blacks all you gotta say is money and we sale everything… even a million dollar company….Now I dont know how true that is but that is messed up because I heard Jacki and Necole Bitchie doesnt own their site anymore either so I dont know who my comment is going to at all. so I cant talk about BET they way I want to because if I complain and this is no longer Jacki’s site then I would be complaining about my people to another race of people and that will cause some bull ish for my people… but I will say this Stephen Hill needs to stop what he is doing if he is making his own people feel like they have switch their sexuality in order to work for him… because he never has to worry about switching his if he is actually gay… Im sorry about my first writing I had grammar problems and graduating from college I shouldve watched my spelling

And she fits the bill of what there looking for very pretty girl and ofcourse vcery light but God shut that down. Is there no one thats for real about helping young artist because everyone wont sell there soul for a deal think about that Stephen Hill and your not even atractive ugly ass. stupid nigga.

He is a devil. I hope people can now see that gays are not our friends. They hate women and will promote anything that is derogatory to black people. They are filth and low-life demonic pieces of shit. This is why there is no more love in rap, why it is all about flossin’, hoein’, druggin’, drinkin’ etc. Like Fat Joe said, the question is who is gay in rap, but, rather, who isn’t gay.
Yeah, call my azz homophobic, but make sure your son/daughter ain’t gonna serve in the military under some fag/dyke or go work for a company and the manager is fag/dyke.
You know why corporate america was always known as a BS place to be: cuttroat, shallow, petty: cuz corporate america was always gay mane, always. Now they don’t have to marry for a front so you have your reptillians like Stephen Hill out there. As in Levitticus, these abominations should be put to death.

it shows a lack of intelligence to make a statement about all people of a certain race or sexual preference based on the actions of one or a few.
Otherwise you would have to say Zimmerman was justified cuz you know previously it was blacks caught committing crimes in his neighborhood so trayvon must be doing the same.

Yeah, that’s right equate gay rights with black civil rights.
You fail.
Zimmerman ran up to Trayvon and prevented him from moving freely. That is against the consitution. If anyone gets within 6 inches of your personal space, you have the right to defend oneself.
And honey, gays in corporate america are more than a few. Speak what you know.
