John Derringer's co-hosts allege abusive behaviour behind the ... (Toronto Star)

Former co-hosts of Toronto Q107 morning man John Derringer are accusing him of workplace harassment and alleging that station owner Corus Entertainment ...

She said Corus offered her $1,000 extra pay, but she said the shift was not something she wanted. Then, one day, “he turned on me … he started screaming at me about some perceived infraction I had made.” She said Derringer got so close to her that his “spit” got on her face. Holloway, like the other co-hosts the Star spoke to, said she is used to working with tough colleagues and bosses, but Derringer was different. “If this company does not come out and acknowledged that it knew, I am going to start naming names (of people she complained to at Corus).” Holloway said she was offered an afternoon shift “and they were just doing that to shut me up.” During her five years working with Derringer she was offered bonuses — one time it was almost doubling her salary — and she said she believes this was for her to keep quiet about the verbal abuse. “He flew into a rage, said you owe everyone here an apology, he exhausted himself like a child, and I was crying, which I hate,” Holloway told the Star. Later, Derringer told Holloway he was sorry. She was doing entertainment “hits” for other Corus radio shows across Canada (part of her job) and she said he became enraged when she returned from recording one. I would walk into the studio mere minutes before we started to avoid breathing in the smoky air even one more second than I had to,” she said in the video. Holloway was a co-host on Derringer in the Morning from 2010 to 2015. She was eventually moved into a TV job at Global News, where she would be laid off in the summer of 2020. The former co-hosts said they complained to station managers and HR personnel to no avail. She said during her time at the station she experienced emotional abuse.
