Last week, Sheryl Underwood shook up some things when she revealed that her fellow, Black comediennes, Sommore, Laura Hayes and Adele Givens talked about her like a dog during a conference call years ago when she was invited, by the tour’s creator, Walter Latham, to participate on The Queens of Comedy tour.

We also reported that when the ladies got wind of the news, they were not happy about it. And then Rickey Smiley came forward and said that Sheryl is not the angel she’s portraying herself to be in this whole scenario.

The plot thickens as the days go by.

Today, the Humor Mill is reporting that Givens is not only disputing Sheryl’s story, she plans to sue Underwood, “The Talk” and CBS.

Givens appeared on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show today and disputed Sheryl’s entire story. She said the tale is a “blatant lie” and “the conversation never happened because [they] were never on a conference call discussing Sheryl.”

Smiley also had a statement from Walter Latham, the tour’s creator, that said he never even invited Underwood to participate on the tour.

Givens also announced that she’s seeking legal representation and plans to sue all parties involved for defamation of character and “anything else her legal team would advise to her that would apply.”

Listen, this whole thing is just cray-zee. If you ask me, there’s probably a little bit of truth behind both stories. And I’m leaning more toward Sheryl’s side. Perhaps, Walter Latham didn’t extend a formal invitation but it’s even more unlikely that Underwood made up the conference call, the insults these ladies flung, unknowingly her way. It’s especially hard to believe that she would sit up on television and get emotional about a completely fabricated story. I just don’t think she has that type of a range as an actress.

It seems far more plausible that the Queens of Comedy would be trying to salvage their reputations and their careers by saying it never happened, especially since there’s no proof.

What do you think happened? Who do you think is lying about all of this?
