Don’t Take Any Crap From Anybody — John DeBella

“That brings an end to this edition of The Big Dumb Show. Don’t take any crap from anybody,” says John DeBella everyday when he signs off the morning show on 102.9 WMGK.

Ironically, John DeBella is in trouble for forcing his crap on other people. His former on-air partner, Jen Neill Posner, has filed a sexual harassment suit against DeBella. The lawsuit alleges “egregious, gross, and degrading sex-based harassment.” Posner claims the legendary Philly DJ subjected her to more than a decade of physical and verbal harassment. (1)

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that DeBella “grabbed her breasts on several occasions during her time at WMGK, and repeatedly asked her to perform oral sex on him, among other inappropriate behaviors. Additionally, she says in the suit that DeBella pressed his groin against her multiple times, and once put her hand on his genital area. DeBella also allegedly referred to Neill as “Bitch” in the WMGK office, the lawsuit claims.” (2)

A campaign by listeners has been launched to Boycott: John DeBella Sponsors.

Multiple inquires to WMGK and Beasley Media have gone unanswered as to why they allow the Big Dumb Show to go on.
