Jason Lee is cutting professional ties with Kanye West.
The “Hollywood Unlocked” host left his position as head of media and partnerships for the Yeezy fashion designer after West wore a White Lives Matter shirt to his fashion show on Monday, Page Six is told.
Instead, Lee, 45, will focus on launching his own talk show.
“Very humble and thankful to Ye for the opportunity to work with him but that part of our relationship has come to an end,” he later wrote on his Instagram Story.
In a separate post to his grid, Lee shared the now-viral photo of West and Candace Owens wearing White Lives Matter shirts, writing that the artist was “gaslighting black people.”
“I love Ye as a person, and I support free speech. But this is gaslighting black people and empowering white supremacy. Not sure if he has any friends left to tell him but this is utterly disappointing,” the gossip guru began his caption.
“I’m going to exercise free speech and say, nobody black has ever said that white lives don’t matter. But when black people do this it just screams the need for white validation.”
The “Hollywood Unlocked” host will now focus on his new talk show.
