He has already been replaced by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts at the Louisiana Festival, which is scheduled for October. In a statement released on Friday, the committee said:

“CeeLo Green has been removed from the #GretnaFest line-up, as he does not represent the festival’s wholesome family environment.”

The Free Live concert organizers also released a similar statement, saying:

“Unfortunately, one of the performers we signed for the JBAB Freedom Live show on 20 September recently posted comments on social media that we consider to completely inconsistent with Navy core values. Regardless of intent or context, the lack of sensitivity towards an issue that is one of the great challenges facing our Navy is unacceptable. As a result, we have made the decision to pull CeeLo Green from the Freedom Live event on 20 September.”

#CeeLoGreen Avoids Jail After Pleading No Contest To Drugging A Woman With Ecstasy

On Friday, singer Cee Lo Green avoided jail time by pleading no contest to a felony charge after giving a 33-year-old woman ecstasy while they were on a dinner date on July 2012 in Los Angeles.

The woman claimed that Green put the drug in her drink as they dined together and she woke up to find herself naked in a bed with him in her hotel room. But after two rounds of police investigations, prosecutors declined to file any sex-related charges against Green due to lack of evidence.

Although Green’s lawyer, Blair Berk, insisted that the interaction between Green and the woman was "consensual relations," he was sentenced to three years' formal probation, 360 hours of community service and ordered to complete 52 Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. He will attend a probation status update in March next year.

Despite his sentencing, Green, who maintains his innocence, said: “We are very pleased to have resolved this matter with an amicable understanding and we’re satisfied.”
