The situation between Jess Hilarious and Loren Lorosa has been bubbling behind the scenes for quite awhile. There has been a lot of chatter on the internet surrounding a clip of comedian Corey Holcomb who said  that Loren happens to be more talented and better on the job than Jess. We happen to agree. How many countless times has Jess gone on the air and said that she can't pronounce someone's name during one of her segments. It's called show prep. It's embarrassing. Her job is to know how to pronounce names. ...unless she's more comfortable playing the stereotypical "let's keep it real" hood chick. Radio listeners deserve better.

From IG: Baltimore Media Personality April Watts -"I think this is produced reality for entertainment purposes to keep buzz around the show. Having been in radio for over 2 decades, corporate would NEVER allow this to take place if it wasn’t controlled."

From IG: Philly media personality MrHollywoodDJ -"Jess just got there. She act like she running the show… she gonna get a wake up call when she realize producers last wayyyyyy longer than talent… not that she’s all that talented."

Does she not see that radio talent is being cut all over the place? Or does she not care. She needs to step it up.

SHE NEVER SAID THIS. "I love how yall have selective hearing. I said “I’m hearing if they don’t give us what we want, we sitting out” and that’s the truth. I never said anything about the NBA.
