Jemele Hill was already in deep water with ESPN after her tweet that called President Trump a ‘racist and bigot’ last year. The popular host then got a ‘leave of absent’ following her tweet regarding Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. ‘Change happens when advertisers are impacted.

Her departure will take place next week on September 1st. To read more about her story click here.
