Hi, I’ve tried to find a thread on this as I’m watching with great intrigue as to what happens next, if I have missed one please let me know.
For those who might not know Radar Radio is an online radio station which is owned by Ollie Ashley the son of the sports direct owner. Recently this month it was exposed by an ex-employee that she had been sexually assaulted and other employees had also, Pxssy Palace (a female collective) then stopped their residency due to my factors - will add links.
This then spurred an anonymous group to form a list of male DJ’s/current music artists that have been accused of rape, sexual assault, sexism to be published. I do have a screenshot of the list but it was quickly removed from twitter. Happy to DM to those but bit nervous about implications it could possibly cause me by posting online.
I know one of the women who wrote about her experience there has broken her contract, and is waiting to see if there will be ramifications due to this.
I am very interested in this as I was violently raped by someone high up in the same industry, 4 years ago and it lead me to have a breakdown and quit work all together, after my concerns were not listened to. I hope that this may open floodgates for many others, 2 of my close friends still work in this area of radio, both of whom have been sexually assaulted.
