Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monae and Jazmine Sullivan were some of the big stars using the BET Awards stage to strongly criticize the Supreme Court's recent decision to strip away women's constitutional protection for abortion.

Henson took the stage as the show's host on Sunday with an uplifting message about “Black excellence” before she launched into the court's overturning of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling last week. The actor took the stage after Lizzo opened the show performing her single “About Damn Time.”

Janelle Monae held up her middle finger toward the Supreme Court before she introduced nominees for best female R&B/pop artist. Her speech earned a standing applause at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Afterwards, Monae introduced Sullivan as the category's winner - who made a plea to men for their support of women.

Doja Cat entered the show as the leading nominee with six. The chart-topping performer is up for best female R&B-pop artist, best female hip-hop artist, album of the year for her No. 1 hit “Planet Her” and BET Her for “Woman.” Her “Kiss Me More” with SZA is nominated for video of the year and best collaboration.

Stars are from the pit of hell

How many white folks won awards there?

Spectacular Show! Kudos to many talents that participated.👌🏿🇺🇸

Um…planned parenthood was initially designed for black babies. They need to do their research

If only they knew the origin of planned parenthood hood and what it was designed for 🤦🏻

Does anyone watch these shows anymore that are not actually in their industry? I know that I don't and it's never discussed at the water cooler.

They are all experts, after all. I just wonder if any one of them actually read the courts decision or they are simply repeating whatever the media is feeding them. The US Supreme Court did NOT make abortions illegal.

Who cares what they think.

Stick to rapping ok

Booo 🍅🍅

Racist show does what?

You can always tell the trendy issue of the day by the awards shows. In this case, I actually agree.

Good thing you reported on this…obviously viewership is so poor there no way anyone would find out…oh..and no one cares what they think.

Any dindu shootings on awards night?

Thats why people stopped watching these woke award shows- noboby wants to spend their time listening to Hollywood types spewing their political opinions on a show meant for entertainment!

Who even watches the bet awards

Lol the blacks that hate every race awards. Brought to you by Jews.

Unfortunately I am white but luckily my teachers have taught me the importance of feeling guilty for being white and that minorities should be cherished every so gently next to my mRNA vaccinated heart. I'm so lucky to be properly educated. Can't wait for grade 3!🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🇺🇦🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

There were no stars

Lol.

People still watch that shit?
