<p>The drama surrounding <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/live/YC-qPfyeg9A?si=Qme8nhdzBXZbmrYb">Jess Hilarious’s controversial comments</a> about who can have babies and her subsequent firing from the <em>Ms. Pat Settles It</em> show is the main event on the latest episode of the <strong>Dear Black Gay Men Podcast</strong>. Host Jai the Gentleman dives deep into the fallout, offering an unfiltered look at why Jess’s actions continue to generate massive backlash within the queer community.</p><p>🛑 Why Jess Hilarious Can’t “Shut The F**k Up”</p><p>Jess Hilarious first sparked controversy with her “who’s looking out for black women?” debacle , and then doubled down with the scientifically inaccurate “only women can have babies” message on <em>The Breakfast Club</em>. This led to her getting fired from <em>The Ms. Pat Show</em>, a conversation that was later discussed by <a target="_blank" href="https://youtu.be/eN9haoM2q40?si=SivBdR1b022FR4I2">Ms. Pat and the show’s queer creator, Jordan E. Cooper, on The Breakfast Club</a>.</p><p>Jai argues that Jess keeps putting her “foot in her mouth” because controversy is her “whole shtick,” even suggesting it’s the reason she keeps her job at <em>The Breakfast Club.</em></p><p>🏳️‍🌈 The Real Power in the Room</p><p>A central theme of the episode is the immense, often unseen, power of <strong>Black queer people</strong> in the entertainment industry. Jai emphasizes a critical truth: “The gays run s**t”.</p><p>* If you offend all queer people with “dumb s**t,” you will get “booted”.</p><p>* There’s always a queer person in charge, be it the producer, writer, publicist, or executive producer.</p><p>* Jordan E. Cooper, the queer creator of <em>The Ms. Pat Show</em> and <em>Ms. Pat Settles It</em>, is a perfect example of this influence.</p><p>Jai’s message is clear: You “never win when you’re on the wrong side of queer culture”. The vast majority of <strong>Black queer culture</strong> is “aligned against Jess Hilarious” for her repeated offenses.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
