A popular Boston radio host who held the attention of listeners in New England for more than 40 years threatened to quit his job on-air on Wednesday after being told by his boss that he couldn’t joke about Demi Lovato’s sudden pronoun change.
“I am the biggest of all time. And they said ‘Shut up, Matt. Stop talking.’ Well, I hope you’re happy because I just stopped talking. Matty out,” Matty Siegel, co-host of the “Matty in the Morning” show on WXKS-FM radio, said live.
During his segment on Wednesday morning, Siegel explained that he was simply going against the “woke thing” but quickly felt punished for his views on Lovato’s decision to become “nonbinary” and use the pronouns “they/them.”
