Press Barred From Reception at Samantha Bee Event Following Controversy



Attending media was told by a Television Academy rep that press would not be allowed into the reception "as a result of today’s events involving Samantha B."

The same day Samantha Bee apologized for calling Ivanka Trump a “feckless c—,” she was set to be honored by the Television Academy along with six other shows relating to social change.
Though The Hollywood Reporter was initially slated to cover both the 6:45 p.m. red carpet and reception, media was told by a Television Academy rep at 3:35 p.m. that press would not be allowed into the reception "as a result of today’s events involving Samantha B.," leading to "the need to limit access to tonight’s activities."
Bee is slated to attend the 11th annual honors at NeueHouse Hollywood on Thursday night alongside castmembers and executives for Full Frontal (TBS), 13 Reasons Why (Netflix), One Day at a Time (Netflix), Andi Mack (Disney channel) and LA 92 (National Geographic). 
Dana Delany (Hand of God) will host the event just hours after Bee tweeted an apology to the first daughter for using an expletive to describe her: "It was inappropriate and inexcusable. I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it." Sarah Huckabee Sanders had called out Bee for her "vile and vicious" words.
TBS also tweeted, "Those words should not have been aired. It was our mistake too, and we regret it."
The Academy’s Emmy Award nomination-round voting begins June 11.

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...
