SUMMIT MEDIA Rock WKLR (CLASSIC ROCK 96.5)/RICHMOND morning man BRADY DEANGELO has exited after recent social media posts were found offensice. DEANGELO confirmed on FACEBOOK that he was no longer employed by WKLR, writing, "I made a joke that some thought was inappropriate on my personal FACEBOOK page and it became more of an issue than I believe it should have become."

WTVR-TV 6 reports, "On WEDNESDAY, a now-deleted post on DEANGELO's personal FACEBOOK page showed a woman at a bar (presumably in the Richmond-area). In the photo, the woman can be seen with her back facing the photographer (presumably Brady). The caption, which contains explicit content, read:

"When a female walks into a bar and IMMEDIATELY turns her chair around when she is forced to sit next to you because there's nowhere else to sit," the post began. No, I'm not going to try and f*** you with the first sentence and my c*** only comes out after 3 shots. #MeToo," it continued.

"Screenshots of the photo and caption spread on TWITTER along with a screenshot of a FACEBOOK conversation between a listener and the official CLASSIC ROCK 96.5 FACEBOOK account."

Also on FACEBOOK, a poster who identified themselves as PD wrote, "I am so sorry for the inappropriate response you received from a member of our staff. Those statements do not reflect the views or opinions of our station and company and this situation will be addressed."

On THURSDAY, the CLASSIC ROCK 96.5 FACEBOOK page posted, "CLASSIC ROCK 96.5 is all about the music. We love all our listeners and feel that everyone should be treated with respect at all times. Recently one of our employees violated our trust and made some statements that do not reflect our values as a company. Because of this we are conducting an internal investigation and will come up with a response that addresses the situation appropriately. We genuinely and sincerely apologize to all those who were offended."

The station told ALL ACCESS it had, "no comment as it’s a personnel matter."
