DJ Envy says in this "Donkey of the Day" report that he has had problems in the past with Drew Lauter, the former iHeartMedia Atlanta President. Lauter is no longer with the company after a video of him repeatedly using racial slurs was released.

According to a report from WSB-TV, an iHeartMedia spokesperson confirmed the news saying "allegations of this nature go against our company values and our policies and we take them very seriously". The spokesperson also confirmed Lauter said "the n-word".

Jason Castle, an attorney for the employee who captured the video in August of 2021, says Lautner used the word "in the presence of four executive employees, one of whom happened to be black".

Apparently it takes over a year for a video of this nature to surface.

• WLBT anchor and meteorologist Barbie Bassett is no longer with the Jackson, Miss., NBC station after racially insensitive comments. In early March, Bassett was speaking with her fellow anchors on air about Snoop Dogg’s latest business venture, Snoop Cali Blanc, a new wine in his wine label. In response to a comment about putting a Snoop Dogg tattoo on her shoulder, Bassett said, “Fo shizzle, my nizzle.” Bassett is white. Charlamagne tha God defended Bassett as he discussed the situation on The Breakfast Club. “She might be old. She probably has no idea nizzle is a derivative of the N-word. That’s not a fireable offense. I hope she sues.”
