None of this stuff shocks me when it comes out in any business Carton and Benigno would be something an unsavory backwater station would do But yeesh I don’t see how he ever works another day at WFAN. Too bad cause he and Evan were entertaining. Maybe Evan can partner with one of the midday hosts displaced after Francesa’s return and the other two can just do the two hour show. Must be awkward for Evan now being on the air when this breaks. Edited July 19, 2018 by NJDevs4978 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) Yikes...was Joe ever on the air today? And of course, some are automatically taking the woman accusing him at her word. No one can tell me that some people who aren't fired don't decide to get "revenge" (the woman in question was let go), and let's face it, in today's society with the way things have become, all a woman has to do is cry "Sexual harassment!", and everyone immediately assumes that it must have happened and that there's substance to it. I'm not trying to discount what this woman said happened...just more that I'd like to see if Joe's truly guilty of actual sexual harassment (and if he is, then he absolutely has to face the music, and pay the price).

But at least there were two of them. They should've had someone on with Evan today for support Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately he was supposed to be on ‘vacation’ till tomorrow, that would have literally been something else in terms of awkward. Evan had to address it in the open by saying he couldn’t address the story out there for legal reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'7' Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Joe is probably already huddling with his agent preparing a solo podcast or something. Whatever these guys do once they get disgraced and things blow over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going back to my previous post, is this woman a former disgruntled employee deciding to get back at the company that canned her, or is this a legit lawsuit with merit? There is that chance that the accuser is full of sh!t...just ask the Duke lacrosse team. And if it turns out that she's proven not to have a real case, Joe should get to keep his job. But yeah, zero case to be made for him if he did what she's accused him of. Edited July 19, 2018 by Colorado Rockies 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe doesn't strike me as a rich guy who can retire immediately, and I imagine he's extremely proud of getting to where he is from being just a regular guy. Meaning, he's not like most guys at the station that had a career in broadcasting before moving to hosing a radio show. FAN is going to have a good idea of who the accuser is and whether her allegations will ultimately stand up. If Beningo isn't fired immediately, that'll tell you their view on the matter. Still, they may have no choice if angry calls are flooding in, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way too many companies these days are firing first and asking questions later when it comes to these matters due to public outcry/pressure.

Extremely unfair...I can understand suspensions pending investigations, but like you said, companies can buckle a little too easily. What's been lost here a bit is that the accuser is not going after just Beningo...she's going after a lot of parties, and claiming that there's shenanigans going on all over the place.

I mean, I kind of doubt that Joe Beningo is on the radar of MeToo activists. And I'll give the female on-air personalities (Maggie Gray and Erika Herskowitz) the benefit of the doubt that they won't reflexively start attacking him based solely on the accusations. I was thinking more of people just calling in and disrupting the show almost to be wise asses more than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 (edited) It's not just public outcry and pressure. The female employees at WFAN I'm sure will be putting internal pressure on as well, especially if a lot of the frat house charges can be verified. Carton was fired immediately after his shenanigans, they didn't wait for due process. Sure it was a different kind of miscreancy, but the stuff that's being accused here is more of a hot-button issue over the last year or so in the news. And to top it off Benigno and Roberts were supposed to be doing an on-air broadcast from Yankee Stadium tomorrow for the Subway Series, they won't be able to hide him from people in 'public' with that or other on-site appearances outside the studio.

Carton was arrested by the federal government, which requires a lot more, a lot more evidence than filing a lawsuit, which basically requires no evidence at all. I haven’t followed what has happened beyond what’s in the article. My guess is that whoever filed the lawsuit has some kind of reputation one way or the other within the company and with the other female employees. If they speak up one way or the other, we’ll know a little more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If indeed he comes back from vacation and isn’t forced to quit after a few days, I will tend to believe that the allegations are highly exaggerated, at the very least.

NJDevs4978 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 After initially trying business as usual, now Benigno's taking a 'leave of absence'. Yeah I don't see how he comes back at all unless they really find out the charges are 100% bogus. https://nypost.com/2018/07/20/wfans-joe-benigno-takes-leave-of-absence-amid-sex-harass-suit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevsMan84 Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Forgot where I read it, but a report came out that current and former employees of the FAN (also both male and female) said that the woman claiming the station was like a frat house is far from the truth.

MadDog2020 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Dolan is such a worthless piece of garbage. He’s the living embodiment of what a spoiled, entitled trust fund baby is. No concept of reality. Never worked a day in his life. fvck him. https://www.nj.com/sports/index.ssf/2018/10/vengeful_james_dolan_lashes_out_at_wfan_bans_knick.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
