This past Monday, if you happened to be listening to The DL Hughley Show, the syndicated radio show in over 40 markets across the country, you heard a shocking statement from co-host Steve Wilson as he quit while he was on air, and shocked the radio industry to its core- as no one saw this coming at all.
According to our sources, it seems that things were not as happy as meant to be believed behind the scenes.
In case you missed his sign off, here it is below;
Anyway, it seems that Wilson has been a very disgruntled employee for a while and our sources say that he was extremely fed up with treatment towards him from the staff, namely Hughley, which seems to have been going on for a while.
As a matter of fact, our sources forwarded us this statement that Wilson supposedly sent out on Monday.
Read the excerpt below;
David (Kantor),
After a lot of thought, advice and prayer I’ve come to a tough decision that it’s time for me to leave the DL show.
I appreciated the opportunity to work with you BUT unfortunately, I no longer can work in the hostile environment that we discussed in Oct 2014. I tried to work through it, but after 3 years of tolerating disrespect, lies on my character, drama and no room for growth, it’s best for me to leave.
Thank you again for the opportunity, David. I hope our paths cross in the near future in a better light.
All the best to you and yours.
Steve Wilson
FORMER – Co-Host of the DL Hughley Radio Show
What’s next for Wilson? Well, sources again state that Wilson has been contemplating suing the DL Hughley Radio Show but right now he supposedly wants to re-group and unwind from his situation and decide at a later date what he intends on doing. We are not too sure if he plans on continuing in radio but our sources stated that opportunities are being presented to him since he left on Monday.
Urban One (formerly Radio One) and The DL Hughley Show has yet to comment.
*** Updated DL Hughley, of The DL Hughley Show responded to the story and stated to us about the Steve Wilson statement; ” When no one else basically wanted to hire you or work with you and I give you an opportunity anyway, and all I want you to do is work hard, if that makes me a bad fella, then I guess I am a bad fella.”
Stay tuned as this story is still developing.
