Radio DJ Storms Off-Air After Being Told He Can't Joke About Demi Lovato Being Non-Binary

Demi Lovato‘s recent announcement is causing some controversy.

The 28-year-old “Sorry Not Sorry” superstar revealed on Wednesday (May 19) that they are non-binary and use “they/them” pronouns, which led to one radio DJ storming off of his show live.

Kiss 108′s Matt Siegel (of Matty in the Morning) made a long speech on the air about apparently being told by his boss that he can’t joke about Demi‘s non-binary admission, and the audio of the 71-year-old radio DJ’s rant is now going viral.

“I was just told, and it’s nothing personal because I like my boss, but he just called and said I have to stop talking about what I’ve been talking about this morning. I loved the radio show this morning. I’m totally dead serious. I felt like I was back. We’re laughing and we’re having fun…this is why I got rich. Okay. Because I told it like it is to my listeners for 40 bleeping years. They pulled the plug on me and said you can’t talk about what you’re talking about,” he’s heard saying.

“Today I was anti-wokeness and I can’t do that, so basically, what I’m told is, I can talk about light, funny things…but I can’t do what I really want to do, which is just be a funny comic and tell it like it is…so I’m ending my portion of the radio show right now…it has been a hell of a run, but I think it’s coming to an end.”

“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,” he signed off.
