Benzino And Althea Married: Crtiics Start Petition To Axe 'Racist'& 'Criminal' Star From 'Marriage Boot Camp' [VIDEO]
Former VH1 Love & Hip Hop Atlanta stars Benzino and his fiancée Althea Heart might be ready for their return to reality television, but critics are already taking drastic steps to get him banned from the small screen.
Benzino & Althea Heart Join ‘Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars’, Details Inside
It was just announced over the weekend that Benzino and Althea, who were recently fired from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, would be starring in the upcoming season of Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars on WeTV. But if one scorned woman has anything to do with it, Benzino will not only be kicked off that series, but not allowed to return to television period.
The petition calls out Benzino (real name Raymond Scott) for being a “racist” and “misogynistic criminal.”

They tell of a time when he actually left a message for a woman in which he called her several racial slurs “in a racist hate filled tirade…He threatens to ‘spit in her face’ when he sees her.”
They continue to list a number of times where Benzino has not looked the greatest; like when he attacked Love & Hip Hop Atlanta producer Stephan Springman during an all out brawl at last season’s reunion. (It’s said the fight had something to do with Benzino getting booted from the show) He also allegedly threatened former co-star and friend Stevie J after he assaulted Stevie J’s wife, Joseline Hernandez.
They also reminded WeTV of the time Benzino was arrested after he was caught with a loaded gun at an airport.
It doesn’t look like this petition will get any traction. As of now it’s only gotten ten signatures. It needs 90 more to go to the next phase.Still, the petition revealed it plans to move on to advertisers who support Marriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars as well.
