| I haven't listened to the morning show since COVID and was completely shocked when I saw this news. While there may have been a lot of drama going on, none of us know the true story. I find it very respectful that today's show was solely dedicated to him for his girls. |
DP here. I heard this, too so I'm not sure what you're implying? |
I kinda remember this, but it's unfair to assume it was him without confirmation. You've got to remember, they all have a lot of mutual friends - especially in the radio industry. |
Omg what no I don’t remember that?! I remember the gofundme’s and her “book” but what was that situation? |
DP but IIRC, she wrote a letter to the Alexandria police chief demanding action after a situation she attached her narrative to. She posted a video of her recording and honestly, harassing, cops who were trying to respond to an incident. |
| Wow Mel really posted NOTHING? Couldn’t even say “RIP thanks for any semblance of a career at one point I wouldn’t have 10k followers if it wasn’t for you, prayers for Sophie and Sam”? |
She is so ignorant and disgusting. |
I’d prefer hearing nothing over what Danni/Sarah said lol |
I feel like she thought it was going to be newsworthy/ go viral, but that really backfired, or at least fell flat. |
I think saying nothing is classy honestly. There is no requirement to publicly grieve someone you hated just because they were a public figure. |
| The people writing these long blowhard essays are attention whores |
I guess so... it just feels odd to me. I think IJ is being genuine though I think they really were best friends |
| I don’t think Sarah’s podcast missed the mark at all. She focused on his kids, talked about her own mixed experiences working with him, and expressed sympathy and condolences repeatedly. And, Sarah herself lost her dad at a young age so I’m sure that this is an especially sensitive topic for her. Complex working relationship plus childhood trauma, what a mess! I think she handled a complex topic with kindness and grace, and kept the focus on the children. |
I think IJ is being genuine too. He and Mel were not best friends. Mel left the show under circumstances similar to Danni and Sarah. If Mel posted raving about him she’d be lying. So the alternative would be something like Dani did, saying sorry to his daughters while trashing him. When faced with two bad choices, sometimes doing nothing at all is prudent. |
