This follows a decision that was taken in January 2021 of suspending the two DJ's after a woman opened a case of rape against them. The woman had earlier taken to Twitter accusing the two of drugging and raping her in 2011.
We believe that this decision is in the best interest of our company and our various stakeholders- Geraint Crwys-Williams
DJ Euphonik has given comment on the decision that he shares was a mutual one between both parties:
We look forward to our names being cleared. Unfortunately, we can’t find common ground with Primedia and have agreed a release from our obligations to the broadcaster, with immediate effect- DJ Euphonik
Primedia Broadcasting Interim CEO Geraint Crwys-Williams said the decision to terminate their contracts was “made after careful consideration of the events of the past weeks.
