The Instagram Story posts come after Rose got into a heated exchange with Joseline Hernandez on College Hill: Celebrity Edition while discussing racial identity. Hernandez accused Amber Rose of “really want[ing] to be a white girl.” BET later announced that they wouldn't be airing the fight. “Out of respect for all parties involved, we have chosen not to show this fight. College Hill and ASU do not condone violence of any kind,” the network said in an onscreen message.
