How can you invite Slade Smiley to host this event when he’s a no-good deadbeat dad who ISN’T PAYING FOR HIS SON’S MEDICAL CARE!!!!! His son has had brain cancer for years and Slade has done everything possible to avoid paying child support or medical bills for his kid. If you allow him to host the event, YOU WILL LOOK AWFUL BY ASSOCIATION!!!!
This article is one of many over the past few years about how much Slade cares about his son:

I urge anyone reading this to contact TBAF and let them know how disgusted you are with their choice.
Shame on Bravo, NBC and everyone who continues to support Slade Smiley.
Soooo much fun!
Now I am counting down the days till next year’s event! Was so sad to miss this.
