Just days after making controversial comments on Twitter about rape, E! News can confirm that CeeLo Green's TBS show, The Good Life, will not be returning for a second season.

The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that the unscripted series would not be coming back to the silver screen after just six episodes.

The show followed the former Voice star as he balanced his hectic schedule of recording, touring, and producing other artists.

Green's show cancellation comes on the heels of a rather eventful weekend for the singer.

2. VERY good to hear.

Yes!0

3. One less "reality show" cluttering up the airwaves

Maybe put an hour of watching wheatgrass grow in its place. Set to Finnish death metal. No doubt a ratings boost.

4. Good. I hope more is coming

5. I don't know who this guy is

but he is definitely an awful human being. How can't they get a conviction if he admitted to giving her Ecstasy? Her word does not count over this piece of work.

6. He pleaded no contest to a felony drug charge to get out of sexual assault charges.

10. After reading about him beating up homeless people and torturing animals....

I was done with him years ago.

"He also learned early on that sometimes walking the path to heaven can be harder than hell. Green’s father died of a heart attack when Cee Lo was just two, and he rebelled against the strict religious upbringing he received from his mother and grandmother. As a teen he found himself on an increasingly dark, destructive path—stealing, starting fires for fun, beating up homeless people and mugging pedestrians—and he acknowledges today that his life could’ve gone in a very different direction.

“I was a bit of a deviant, I must admit,” he confesses matter-of-factly. “It felt a bit more supreme and more extreme than just good and bad; it was more like good and evil. There was a point in my younger years when I didn’t realize that [the creative connection with the divine] was involuntary, like an out-of-body experience. When I look back on the things that I was writing and feeling in those days, I realize that I wasn’t able to help myself.”

"His childhood frustrations can be seen in his early-life “hobbies” which included torturing stray animals, beating up homeless people, and mugging pedestrians."

I'm not surprised one bit hearing what he's accused of.

16. That is terribly unfortunate indeed. I wish CeeLo would get a clue.

Many women who do get raped may not really remember what happened to them, especially if they were unconscious(ever heard of date rape drugs?), or in an extreme state of trauma.

Hopefully, he'll accept responsibility for his foul-up and try to improve himself.
