Star: FIRED

WOW. Star, host of the #1 morning hip-hop show on 105.1, has been shitcanned for an unbelievably nasty and tasteless remark:

Troi Torain, known as Star of the Star and Bucwild Morning Show, has been fired by Clear Channel the shock jock made sexually charged statements directed to the 4-year-old daughter of a rival DJ.

On Monday May 8, Torain, an employee of New York’s Power 105.1, made several on-air sexual and threatening comments about the daughter of Hot 97’s DJ Envy.

“Yes, I disrespected your seed. If you didn’t hear me, I said, I would like to do an R. Kelly on your seed, on your little baby girl. I would like to tinkle on her,” the DJ said referring to an alleged videotape of the Chicago-bred pop singer urinating on an underage girl.

Torain also offered to pay $500 to any listener that could provide the location of the child’s school and made several racially and sexually charged comments about Envy’s wife, who is Asian/African American. “Oh yes, I’ll, I’ll come for your kids. I will come for your kids. I finally got the information on his slant eyed, whore wife. The information on his slant eyed, whore wife.”

DJ Envy said he found the comments deplorable and disgusting.

“Any man that says he would like to do an R. Kelly on a 4-year-old, who claims he wants to tinkle on her and skeet on her face might be a pedophile,” DJ Envy told AllHipHop.com. “Instead of keeping his hatred focused solely on me, he threatened to molest my daughter. He’s a coward who hides behind his microphone, who will stop at nothing to generate ratings.”

Torain’s former employee also denounced the on-air comments.

“Power 105 finds recent remarks broadcast by Troi Torain of the Star and Bucwild Morning Show to be wholly unacceptable,” said Market Manager Rob Williams of Clear Channel in a statement. “He is no longer with Power 105.1 or Clear Channel Radio. We sincerely apologize to those who may have been offended by his remarks.”

Holy sweet Jesus. Way to go Star!

If past history is any indicator, though, someone will pick him up just like they did the last time he f’ed up and Power 105.1 picked him up.

Just for history:

According to published reports, the rest of the Star and Bucwild Morning team are on suspension pending further investigation.

Torain and the Star and Bucwild team were terminated from Hot 97 in 2001 after they played sound effects of a plane crashing and a woman screaming in the aftermath of R&B singer Aaliyah’s death.

Oopsies…

    Star should not have been fired. What he said was crazy, but it didnt deserve to get him fired. As discusting as they were, his words are protected by the US Constitution. The right to free speech, the first ammendment right of this country. DJ ENVY is a little faggot. He had his wife make a big deal out of this because nobody listens to hot 97 anymore, and he knew he could get star fired. This is bullshit. Stars the man, and DJ Envy is a little faggot.

    You cannot threaten a child sexually.

    Period.

    Anyone who does it is an animal, and anyone who condones it is no better.

    And in the future if you would like to make a comment, please refrain from using words like faggot. They do nothing to strengthen your point whatsoever.

  • Sissy

    What Star said was wrong and he should have been terminated. But what people fail to understand is what he said is protected by the first amendment. He should not be subjected to any type of criminal prosecution because his words did not incite a crime. Bottom line you can say what ever you want even if it is offensive. Right or wrong you can say it.

    If you deny the right to free spech on one occasion it is garaunteed to be denied on all.

  • john

    Star needs psychiatric help. He spreads hate because he has low self esteem. He surrounds himself around people he can insult and put done. Sorry “White Trash Helene”, you should have never tolerated him calling you white trash. “Sorry Chris the Queer” you should have never tolerated him calling you fag, homo, pillow biter. Sorry DX he put you down consistantly. And most of all to us. We allowed him to call us niggas, hoes, dope addicts on a daily basis. People like Star do not entertain. They insult, digrace, put done people on a daily basis. We as a people should never listen to him again because you know he will be back.

  • Angela

    Star maybe took it too far but firing him was maybe taking it to the next level. I find it hard to believe that he didnt know what he was doing. Star spoke with such knowledge or maybe percieved knowledge I find it hard to believe that he did not know what the consequences would be. Yeah he was over the top but I never took is insults seriously. The Hate he so viciously handed out was not to be taken personally. I miss him here in Miami, we were a new affiliate. I hope he gets back on the air soon. Luckily, his replacement his cool. We now have Tigga and Egypt. Different but cool. Anything is better than those asshole Baker Boys.

    “He should not be subjected to any type of criminal prosecution because his words did not incite a crime. Bottom line you can say what ever you want even if it is offensive. Right or wrong you can say it.” thats it right there!
    Besides the fact that I didn’t take any of it serious,it has been taken out of context. Star said “you have to come see me now dawg!…if nothing else, the whore that pushed out that little mongrel puppy, won’t be able to look you in the face; How can you look me in the face-he disrespected our child,nigga…and you didnt go see him?” HE WAS DRAWING ENVY OUT! people the media has it/and you twisted. As over the top as it was, it was far from criminal. How many of you haven’t talked about somebody’s mother to make them mad (thinking back to the playground days). It was entertainment. Bring him back!

  • Dale

    I believe everything was ok up until the point that Star said that he would pay someone to tell him the where abouts of the kid’s school. That put the child in danger and that’s the reason he was fired. I listen to Star all the time I thought what he said was a little out of line because I wouldn’t want him to say this stuff about my 3 year old kid. I like the fact that he defends our troops and law enforcement. He will turn up again on radio or maybe satelite.

    Star is known for his over the top demeanor, but what he said, no matter how reprehensible is protected by the st ammendment.

  • http://www.insignificantthoughts.com Vinny

    I’ve never seen such uneducated and stupid comments from people. His speech was not protected by any amendment to the constitution. It’s called harassment, and it’s illegal. You could make a case for menacing, and many other crimes as well.

    Secondly, the government didn’t fire him, a private company did. Private companies are under zero obligation to observe the first amendment and have a right to say what goes out over their airwaves.

    Holy shit you people really need to learn what the hell you’re talking about before you spout off.

  • Jay

    Well Star is like how Howard Stern used to be and still is. EVERYONE listens to him no matter what he says because they WANT to hear what he is going to say next. So no one commenting here should be hating. If you are commenting, you were listening and you supported his show. If you didnt want to hear him you would no support his show and you would not of heard those comments which have seemed to have bothered you. He was no harm to anyone except ENVY himself. ENVY was scared and 97.1 sucks now so they had to do something to their competition.

  • http://yahoo.com one

    star is awesome, bring him back

  • http://www.insignificantthoughts.com Vinny

    Star is not like Stern. Star is a piece of trash that threatened a 4-year-old kid.

    I didn’t listen to him. I won’t listen to him. And he’s a frigging moron. Someone should molest him the way he wanted to molest Envy’s kid.

  • Trinity

    Like him or not, he threatened a child! I may sound old fashioned, yes there is freedom of speech, but you have some sort of obligation since he is on the radio! Who’s to say someone who knew where the child went to school wouldn’t do harm to her for Star! I gave up listening to him along time ago. I think he has every right to say what he wants, but Vinny you are right, 105.1 doesn’t have to allow him to do it on their dime. Question, why do so many people think it’s no big deal until you suggest or ask what they would do if it were their daughter or sister….. most men cant even think like that…. they’d go to jail. Star is a punk, he couldn’t get at the DJ so he went for the weaker one’s his wife and child! Classy, no, classic star yep! Let see what happens to him next!

  • Scott

    Vinny, Shut the fuck up you piece of shit. Where do you get off thinking your SO high Up on the cock sucking board that you can put everyone down for their oppinions? Star is a great entertainer and he will be back weather you like it or not. He spoke out to get Envy to step up and back the words he said about coming after him. So Don’t trash the man if you don’t you’ve never heard his words

  • http://www.insignificantthoughts.com Vinny

    I’m sorry. Who are you again?

    Oh right. Nobody.

    I heard his words, stupid. Here they are in case you missed them. He threatened a damned 4 year old kid.

    Ya know what? He’s trash and anyone who defends him is no better. You may wanna pick up a dictionary if you wanna start slamming people you illiterate ass. Then again, that wouldn’t be very Star-like. You know… Using your brain and all.

    I imagine you’d just complement the guy for being a great entertainer if he said he wanted to wack his bag all over your kid, right?

    I’m sure we’d see a bunch of understanding out of your punk ass mouth then.

  • ayton

    Vinny is a teabagger!

  • http://www.insignificantthoughts.com Vinny

    Amazing. I never thought anyone could be as dumb as Star.

    Then I met his fans. :roll:

  • AKSHAY

    YO STAR IS THE MOTHERFUCKIN SHIT

  • Sandi

    I am so upset that Star is not on the radio any more! I live in Ft. Lauderdale and 103.5 has Tigger on the radio now. Tigger is the worst. He sucks! I do not listen to the radio any more because Star is gone. I am once again listening to CDs. I don’t understand why people are making a big deal by saying that he was making racist remarks…HELLO! He made racist remarks every day. Just because he said it about DJ Envy’s wife does not make it any different than what he usually says. DJ Envy and his cock eyed wife just looking for money. Clear Channel had no right to fire Star and I hope their ratings plummit!:twisted: I am so :cry: that Star is gone. If he goes on Satellite, I will be there to listen. If he goes on another radio station, I will also be there to listen.
