'90 Day Fiancé' Star Baby Girl Lisa's Press Canceled By TLC Amid N-Word Scandal

“90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days” star Baby Girl Lisa canceled a press interview at the last minute due to TLC pulling the plug amid her N-word scandal.
Lisa was scheduled to do an interview with comedian Trenton Davis on Instagram live. Hours before the chat, Lisa’s booking agent, Rocco Straz, posted a note reading, “Today’s interview with @trentoncomedy and @baby_girl_lisa2020 had been canceled due to TLC not allowing Lisa to do the interview.”
The network’s decision comes as producers continue to catch heat for scrubbing Usman accusing Lisa of using the N-word from the reunion special.
As The Blast previously reported, last month, hours of footage was leaked online from the then yet-to-air Tell-All special. In one clip, the host Shaun Robinson questioned Usman and Lisa about the current status of their relationship.
Usman says they had been fighting and revealed, “Lisa, last week you called me ni—er which I know is totally inappropriate in America. You called me ni—er, I don’t even get angry about it because I am used to how you are behaving.”
Lisa didn’t deny the accusation and later apologized for using the racial slur. She went on an apology tour talking to multiple media outlets in an attempt to help her image.
Flash forward to the Tell-All airing, many noticed TLC and producers completely cut the segment and no mention of the N-word was included. Interesting given TLC already hired Lisa to appear in a “90 Day Fiancé” spin-off, which makes it more likely they want to protect their star.
One person on social media pointed out, “PSA: Usman revealed that Lisa calls him the N-word in the Tell-All leak. However, TLC cut it out today. Lisa is fucking trash. #90DayFiance.”
A twitter user said, “Shaun responded to a comment that asked why she remained quiet about Lisa using the n word / if TLC asked her not to address it. Shaun says “Being handled as we speak. That’s all I can say right now.” What do you think that means? #90DayFiance.
