Van Lathan, the other Black guy on TMZ, has been fired...
According to reports Van was fired after getting into a heated discussion in the newsroom about politics with right wing TMZ reporter Michael J. Babcock.
Apparently the situation became so intense the segment had to be edited out and Van allegedly warned Babcock never to speak to him that way again or there would be trouble.
The source claims Van was sent to meet with TMZ lawyers, suspended, and later fired.
Fun Fact: Van was the lone voice on TMZ to question Kanye West when he said slavery was a choice [click here if you missed that].
