A petition demanding radio host Charlamagne Tha God be fired from the radio talk show, “The Breakfast Club,” has garnered nearly 6,000 signatures. The petition urges iHeartMedia, which runs the popular radio program, to remove Charlamagne over a rape allegation from 17 years ago that’s recently resurfaced.
“We want to send a powerful message to all of the people who like to prey on innocent children that it’s not going to happen on our watch,” reads the petition, which was posted on Care2. “No matter how much money or influence you have, we will not allow you to hurt our children.”
As Billboard reports, the petition was launched on Wednesday, one day after Jessica Reid, the woman accusing Charlamagne of raping her when she was just 15-years-old, told The Blast that she wants to re-open a criminal case against Charlamagne (also known as Lenard Larry McKelvey).
In an interview with The Blast, Reid’s mother, Joslyn, admits she told her teenage daughter to stop cooperating with the prosecution saying she wanted to “protect her daughter from suffering.” Reid says her lack of cooperation meant attorneys couldn’t convict McKelvey on the charge he was arrested for, criminal sexual conduct with a minor. Instead, he pleaded guilty to contributing to the delinquency of a minor, for which the then-22-year-old McKelvey received three years probation.
