Angela Yee recently addressed comments she made about The Breakfast Club on her radio show Way Up. While she already responded to the backlash on Twitter, she further elaborated about them on air. Moreover, she said that she didn't expect so many to come down her throat, as she didn't mean to insinuate that no other women worked on the larger show. Instead, she was making a point on how she's the only woman host on air. In fact, she said she's made similar comments about not being able to talk to men for hours after they wrap up, but this one particularly got people fired up.
"Never blew up like this before, I guess?" she explained, adding on to her previous response. "Maybe it was the way that I said it, I'm not sure. I guess people were interpreting it to mean that I meant that there were no women working on the show, and that was not my intention. 'Cause that's simply not true. I was talking about in that studio, in that room. Even Sydney will tell you I'd walk out that room and be like, 'I can't be in here for now.'
Angela Yee Speaks Further On The Breakfast Club Comments On Her Radio Show
"And I would even say when I leave the show, I don't even wanna talk to any guys," Yee continued. "That's why I had Lip Service with all women, because I was like 'Ugh, I can't talk to any guys for, like, two hours.' I feel like I've said that on many interviews, but somehow this turned into a lot more. I was definitely surprised." Furthermore, her surprise came at the immediate clapback from people online, such as former Breakfast Club co-host DJ Envy.
“I mean, it was her, Charlamagne and myself, so she was the only woman on air," Envy stated. "But behind the scenes, it was so many different- I mean, our boss, the actual person that pays our bills and pays our checks and hires us is Thea Mitchem who’s a woman. I think she misspoke, I think the words were taken out of I guess technicality. I’m sure she would clean it up, but there’s a lot of women who work on that show.” Regardless of your take, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Angela Yee.
