Three months ago, fans were shocked when Olivia Dope, former co-host of The See The Thing Is, abruptly left the popular podcast on the Joe Budden Network.
This morning, May 17th, the renowned DJ posted a detailed video alleging she was sexually harassed by her employer at the time, Joe Budden.
During the taping of episode 16, Budden has been accused of making a series of offensive and inappropriate comments directed at and about Oliva Dope in the presence of fellow co-host Bridget Kelly and Mandii B along with production staff.
“At 14:34, there’s an edit in the recording because Joe [Budden] says him and I should speak more because ‘He’s been wanting to f*** me since we met.’ Everyone in the studio, including production staff, laughed uncomfortably while one of my co-hosts confirmed that to be true.”
“At 21:30 Joe tells me to ‘Hit a button b****’ because I didn’t hit a sound effect fast enough. At 24:54, Joe makes a comment that I’m throwing my singleless in his face and he thought we were going to be a network power couple. Once again I’m trying to laugh all of this off as it’s transpiring. I reply back. I say ‘Sorry Joe we’re not.” At 25:42 I make a comment about relationships in general with the conversation, Joe retorts that my shirt that I’m wearing isn’t buttoned like I’m single. I pause, cover my chest with hand, and try to brush it off once again…”
