Joe Budden accused of Sexual Harassment by former host Olivia Dope (Update: Joe releases apology)

[winb83]

I can see how this happened. Joe didn't realize the all female Pod is not the alternative to the JPB. He can get away with that talk on the JPB because its a male space but he brought that energy to the all female pod and it looked nasty.

By male energy do you mean openly and aggressively sexually harassing a woman?

So what....

Motherfukkers that cant be the least bit professional or respectful to the opposite sex are not some hill to die on. If they dont want to interact with women that is a win for the women.

It’s wack. It was just the wrong woman. Joe can obviously talk in a gentle manner if he thinks that it’s the MO of the room he’s in.

There’s a bunch of female pods that talk greasy too. It’s like a comedy club. You can’t expect to get Kevin Hart safeness if you go to some small comedy club. But similarly you can’t try to be a wild comedian if you’re Kevin Hart big. It was unfortunate, people’s careers don’t need to blown up for reading something wrong. If these people had cameras in those comedy clubs a dumb amount of millennials would kill themselves.

Whats the ep please?

Of jbp

it was in February bro. I’m not 100 percent sure. I tried YouTubing but only thing coming up for pages is reactions to breakup videos

So with that being said, Joe was in the wrong but IMO he was wrong for not reading her. It was an unnecessary gamble from his part. But I do think that it’s a reach to start calling for boycott and sexual harassment.

He merely thought he was at a sexual comedy club and he was really not. He should’ve apologized and moved on.

if he thought he was at a sexual club why did he only attack one female on the set? It was 2 other women on the set but he constantly came at the one who wasn’t with it. Again she clearly wasn’t with it and immediately had a issue after it

So men can’t holler at females at all in 2021?

Even though Joe Budden is married , but even still...

joe budden not married lol. And no as some one boss you can’t continue to tell them you wanna fukk them.

I wonder how this will impact these “controversial” podcasts. That’s all this is to me. Joe and others trying to be controversial trying to make people laugh. He just went too far here.

won’t have no impact, this is a boss going on his employees shows telling one out of 3 he wants to fukk them and saying it constantly. Even tho she ain’t with it, or even won’t that kinda hoe time

I wonder if Mal and Rory going to get pulled in for this

When Rory said Hr joe...hr in that little clip

I thought he was making jokes but he might have been really nervous

They got fired at the right time, should be glad they weren't on set

I think Mal would have laughed, Rory might be smart enough to say you can't say that

But if Parks wasn't

 

[Tribal Outkast]

This is exactly what I’m saying, they are trying to act like he’s Weinstein for that.

shyt like that is why I been shaking these chicks hands since I became an adult lol. I’ve worked with a lot of good looking women.. A couple of them have been gassed up on this very site. Man dudes are getting caught up for hugging chicks, I ain’t trying to be in that crew. My thing is Joe talks about a lot of sick shyt on the pod, call women all kinds of bytches, be beeping shyt out constantly but this is the one that’s going get him out of here? That’s crazy lol. That’s what you get when you try to be controversial on these dumb ass podcasts. You have to make sure everybody is on the same page before you try to do shyt like Joe did on camera.

Joe Budden Apologizes to Olivia Dope Following Sexual Harassment Allegation

In a statement issued Tuesday, May 18th, Budden responded: “As a podcaster, it is my job to address topics and create dialogue around them. During the conversation on the See, The Thing Is podcast I didn’t handle the topics with the sensitivity they deserved. I recognize my words and power in that situation created an upsetting environment for Olivia. Upon reflection, both the network and I take accountability for this.”

He continued: “I apologize sincerely to Olivia, her former co-hosts, our staff, and the public. In an effort to not further any trauma, the episode will be removed from all platforms. We support all women’s rights to feel comfortable and protected in the workplace. We fell short of that in this instance. We support Olivia in her quest to heal, applaud her for finding the strength to share her experience, and wish her the best in all her future endeavors. I am taking the time to listen and learn; we have already begun to make the necessary changes to ensure this is a safe environment for all moving forward. We at the network endeavor to continue to elevate Black women’s voices and create opportunities to have constructive conversations to impact change.”

But that’s the thing.. he tries to be controversial because he owns his own “network” There’s no way he thought what he did would come back to hurt him. He wouldn’t have done that on Complex. He thought shyt was sweet but of course it’s not. That’s on him. I think these pods will have to make sure everybody is ok with what’s about to happen in camera because they rely on shock value. I don’t know if Budden could’ve asked her before they started recording if he could hug her but it seems like that would’ve been the best move for him.

It wasn't the hug by itself
It was the I want to fukk before

 

[3rdWorld]

Every celebrity going down for sex crimes..

But I’m talking about all that though. They live off shock value. Joe fukked up here.

I don't fukk with Joe Budden.

But, I'm not going to trivialize his response. I hope he follows through.

 

[CashmereThoughts]

i really DGAF about any of this but "i dont owe my friends respect" Joe is fukking crab and this is coming from a day 1 fan

 

[Phantum]

Joe being a scumbag isn't surprising at this point.

 

[Jekyll]

They all get rejected at some point and don’t know how to handle it. Its funny because Joe talks about getting rejected all the time but his list of chicks is damn near legendary. You would think that he isn’t at the point where he’s thirsting over chicks on his show.

 

[Michael's Black Son]

Dude is finished

fukk Joe Budden
