Joe Budden has issued an apology after host
Olivia Dope accused the media personality of sexual harassment during an episode of the
See the Thing Is… podcast.
In a 26-minute Instagram video Monday, Pope explained why she left the podcast she hosted with
Mandii B and former
Bridget Kelly, under the Joe Budden Network, which launched last October.
“On January 18, 2021, Joe Budden sat in on a recording of the female-led podcast I was a part of and continuously made sexual, suggestive remarks to me that made me extremely uncomfortable as well as fearful of dampening the mood if I didn’t laugh along while he made those sexual remarks to me,” Dope explained. “Those moments not only live on the internet forever, but it also forced me into the decision of quitting the podcast.”
