In an appearance on "The Steve Harvey Show", Cee Lo Green apologized for a 2012 drug incident that led to his exit from The Voice and a string of controversial tweets about rape, while also calling the case "blown out of proportion."
In 2014, Green pleaded no contest to one felony count of furnishing a controlled substance, stemming from a 2012 incident in which a woman accused him of slipping Ecstasy into her drink. As of October, Green had completed his court-mandated 360 hours of community service, but remains on probation. Green faced a severe public backlash after his plea when he took to Twitter to defend himself against accusations that he had raped the woman. Green apologized for his comments this summer, calling his actions "highly irresponsible" and admitting he was "most certainly not thinking, not considering whom [he] might offend."
