DJ Fresh And Euphonik Respond To Being Fired By Primedia
DJ Fresh And Euphonik Respond To Being Fired By Primedia. The Primedia released a statement on Wednesday evening, 10 February, to say that they would terminate contracts with DJ Fresh and Euphonik, following rape allegations made against the them back in January. The decision was, according to the broadcaster, made “after careful consideration of the events of the last few weeks.”
“This decision does not reflect a view on the veracity of any allegations against either Euphonik or Fresh. Rather it prioritises Primedia Broadcasting’s business imperatives. We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our company and our various stakeholders,” says Geraint Crwys-Williams, Interim CEO of Primedia Broadcasting in a statement.
However, the duo released a statement of their own, they wrote: “After extensive consultation, legal and otherwise, we have concluded that it is in our best interests to resume all of our public engagements,” said the statement. We look forward to our names being cleared. Unfortunately, we can’t find common ground with Primedia and have agreed a release from our obligations to the broadcaster, with immediate effect. Thank you to Primedia for all the great broadcasting opportunities and moments.”
The woman who says the duo raped her, along with three other women, went to Twitter to call out on the two DJs to come out about what they did, but DJ Fresh and Euphonik both denied the allegations against them.
