Radio host storms off after being told to ‘shut up’ about Demi Lovato pronouns
A longtime Boston radio host abruptly walked off his
Matty in the Morning show on Wednesday after he was told to stop joking about
Demi Lovato‘s announcement that they are non-binary.
Matty Siegel, 71, appeared to rage-quit on the air during his popular KISS 108 show Wednesday morning, citing an order from management to leave the Lovato story alone.
“I am the biggest of all time, and they said, ‘Shut up Matt! Stop talking,'” Siegel said on-air. “Well, I hope you’re happy because I just stopped talking.”
He then offered a quick goodbye and went off the air. “Matty out,” he said.
Siegel’s blow-up started with news from Lovato, who announced on Wednesday that they are gender non-binary. That means they do not see themselves in the male or female category, and they will go by the pronouns “they” and “them” going forward.
“I feel that this best represents the fluidity I feel in my gender expression, and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I know I am and am still discovering,” Lovato said in a video and Twitter messages posted in the early hours of Wednesday. “I’m doing this for those out there that haven’t been able to share who they truly are with their loved ones.”
Lovato’s announcement came after several years of battling mental health and addiction issues, including a near-fatal overdose in 2018.
GLAAD, one of the leading LGBTQ2 advocacy groups, hailed Lovato’s announcement as an important moment on Wednesday.
“Demi has always been one of the loudest and proudest advocates for LGBTQ people and issues. In sharing their story today, they will educate countless people around the world and reach other non-binary people with a message of pride,” GLAAD spokesperson Anthony Allen Ramos said in a
statement.
Siegel dismissed Lovato’s latest revelation on his show Wednesday.
“It’s a joke, the whole non-binary thing,” he told listeners on the top-40 station. “I don’t care what Demi Lovato does.”
