Exclusive: We Spoke to Van Lathan, the TMZ Senior Producer Who Challenged Kanye's Slavery Comments

The lifelong Kanye fan opens up about why he confronted the rapper on TMZ Live

You know the saying, "We should never meet our heroes." Was that one of those moments for you?

It's definitely that but at the same time, I want to try to understand where people are coming from, especially when they've earned that cachet. I was completely disappointed in him and I'm not sure he's on the right path, as far as what he's talking about. A lot of the things he's saying are not only just wrong but also destructive, harmful, and dangerous, to be honest with you.

How were you able to keep your composure?

We do that every day here. Every day there's something different that we go back and forth about at TMZ, and shout-out to my brother Charlamagne the God who always tells me the way to make a point is to stay calm when everybody else is in their moment. Even when my voice is raised, I try to be measured and focused.

What made you want to confront him?

The misinformation that's coming out his mouth can actually affect people and people need to have the opportunity to hear both sides of things. And if he's going to sit up there on a pulpit—he was up, raised above the rest of us sitting on the TMZ Live stage talking—it wasn't my job to destroy Kanye West or make a viral moment. It was to make sure what people heard doesn't resonate with us all. The point was to make sure the opposite method of thinking was represented and we do that every day here. 

How do you feel now after all this?

I feel sad that I lost a hero.

CNN’s Van Jones Secretly Helped Craft the Weak Trump Police Reform He Praised on TV

The ex-Obama aide’s willingness to help Trump—whom he once dubbed among the “worst people ever born”—has drawn the ire of liberal allies while gaining him fans in Jared and Kimye.

CNN star Van Jones has a habit of upsetting his fellow Black activists, progressive policy advocates, and liberal Democrats by cozying up to the Trump White House.

He did it again late last month, during the flap over a Black bird watcher in Central Park and a white Hillary Clinton voter who dialed 911 after refusing his pleas to leash her dog. Jones enraged Hillary loyalists—already exasperated by his willingness to concede her flaws as a 2016 presidential candidate in televised food nights with Trump acolyte Kayleigh McEnany—when he compared Clinton supporters unfavorably to the Klan.

“It’s not the racist white person who’s in the Ku Klux Klan that we have to worry about,” Jones said on CNN’s New Day. “It’s the white liberal Hillary Clinton supporter walking her dog in Central Park… But the minute she sees a Black man, who she does not respect, or has a slight thought against, she weaponized race like she had been trained by the Aryan Nation.”

More recently, on June 16, the 51-year-old Jones—a Yale Law School-trained attorney and former green energy jobs adviser in the Obama administration—provoked even more liberal distress and anger when he ladled praise on a so-called police reform initiative by President Donald Trump. In this instance, however, he was slyly applauding himself.
