Social Media Shows Support To Olivia Dope After She Reveals The Shocking Reason Why She Left The Joe Budden Network
As we previously reported, on Monday, popular New York DJ and podcaster Olivia Dope bravely opened up about why she decided to leave the “See The Thing Is” podcast and the “Joe Budden Network.”

In a 26-minute IG TV clip posted to her official account, Olivia details the alleged sexual remarks Budden made to her while working with each other. In one instance, Olivia claims a recent show recording had to be edited because Joe said he wanted to f*** her. She explained, “At 14:34, there’s an edit in the recording because Joe says [he] and I should speak more because ‘He’s been wanting to f*** me since we met.’ Everyone in the studio, including production staff, laughed uncomfortably while one of my co-hosts confirmed that to be true.” Olivia then talked about the 19:26 mark of an episode that had be get cut out. She explained, “Another edit happened because Joe makes another suggestion to having sex with me… That scene is edited out and what is shown right after that is me closing my eyes saying ‘No’, and then he says ‘Never mind.’”
Deeper into the video, Olivia went on to share how Joe once called her a “b*tch” and in another instance, Joe allegedly gave her an inappropriate hug after making an inappropriate comment about wanting to have sex. Despite feeling humiliated and objectified, Olivia said it was important for her to speak out not only to “heal my self but also to help others in the future.” Social media users are now showing support to Olivia online. Here’s what some had to say:
Joe Budden is finished. And for people saying it’s “weird timing” it’s not that’s how it works. When Rory and Mal shared their story Olivia Dope also found the courage and was given the window to share hers.

Olivia Dope looked visibly uncomfortable in that episode. She’s spoken out. It was brave. The sad thing is, not all of the energy she receives will be supportive. But I support her. I see a lot of other folks supporting her too. That’s reassuring. 🖤

I remember tweeting “y’all be screaming PROTECT BLACK WOMEN yet all y’all are on the Joe Budden Network?” and all the #WomenSupportingWomen head ass females from the platform (minus Bridgette) started throwing subs.
THIS RIGHT HERE IS WHY. https://t.co/INhd970S4o

I keep seeing people talking about “tHe TiMinG” … any time Olivia Dope wanted to speak out is perfect timing. The public don’t get to choose or dictate the “appropriate time”

Between the Rory and Mal drama and this Olivia Dope story, the common theme seems to be Joe Budden being wildly unprofessional and not knowing how to interact with people he has power over despite so desperately wanting to be seen as a competent boss.

This all comes amid the drama Budden is currently having with his former “Joe Budden Podcast” co-hosts Rory Farrell and Jamil “Mal” Clay,. As we previously reported, Budden went on a rant during his recent show and fired Rory for his “dark energy, arrogance, and entitlement.” He also called Rory a “liability” and encouraged Farrell and Clay to take their talents elsewhere and start their own show. Following backlash, Budden apologized for the way he handled the situation.
However, he has yet to speak on on these latest allegations against him. Until then, let us know your thoughts on all of this in the comment box below.
