Holy Cow. Things get 10 times uglier at WSAR

S

Skynet74

I had nothing else to add until I saw the latest update on this Keri Rodriques situation.

http://www.heraldnews.com/news/local_news/x499364061/Karam-denies-abuse-claim


Here are a couple of lines that stood out.


Rodrigues had never come to me with the complaints,” said Karam. I have over 300 employees (in other ventures) and I have never had a complaint. It’s obvious that she has some ax to grind, and her allegations have nothing to do with reality.” “Her allegations are absolutely untrue. I believe she has delusions of grandeur.”



Hahahaha.... sorry..... I just have to laugh.... because I've been saying this sort of thing about Keri for more than a year based on her lies and weird behavior towards me. But to actually see it printed in the paper coming from the mouth of a well respected business man and her own ex-boss! This certainly adds credibilty to my claims. Bottom line is I come here and I speak the truth. She is a certified fruitcake. That is all.
 
And how would you like to work with this dangerous person and never know when she's setting you up??
Like sending an E MAIL and using your name. Leaving a bottle of booze in an employees desk she doesn't like. Shall I go on? Keri , you belong in prison. THANK GOD the D.A. found out just in time to get rid of you!
 
The typical Keri plan is to force people to take her side and telling them they will pay dearly if they don't. She's the equivalent of a school yard bully. Of course she sets people up. She had converstaions with with people as to how to F**K with me just because I post here about her. I'm sure these conversations are continuing. She is sick and needs help. But nobody sums it up better than someone who was just her boss as recently as 3 weeks ago.

"I believe she has delusions of grandeur.”

The official definition of that would be:

noun
a delusion (common in paranoia) that you are much greater and more powerful and influential than you really are

Ok, I'm sorry, but this one really made me laugh. ;D

Booze and emails! Was this while I was complaining of unfair treatment because of my Jewish heritage?!??

Outrageous!

LOL!!
 
Why are you responding to these two? I have no opinion one way or the other because I have no firsthand knowledge of things at WSAR but it's obvious both of them have issues. One apparently left or lost his job at the station and the other has a reputation for being nasty here and if I remember is ticked off that he wasn't used to cut IDs or something or other. I don't think talking about stuff like this is out of line but when posters obviously have personal reasons for acting like they do, then that's another matter.
 
This is one reason why I'm not into all this political mumbo jumbo that is typical of talk radio. Give me a radio show and I will keep the topics light and fun. I would make people laugh. I wouldn't be turning my own city against me. Fall River isn't such a pretty place for you anymore..... is it Keri?

Do yourself a favor and move to Arizona. Someplace where nobody knows you. Get a fresh start for both you and your son. Your professional reputation around here is horrible and not likely to score you any gigs. Why do you think that Radio station in Lowell didn't hire you? It certainly was not because you are Miss pleasant personality. Go sit in the corner and think about it.

Let me respond to you. I was ticked off at Keri because I got a constant runaround. I was lied to by her on numerous occasions and my time was wasted. She even had an injured foot, had no food in her house and I was still willing to go to the store and bring her some. Yeah I'm a real bad person. I might be harsh in this forum, but I'm the nicest guy you could ever meet in person. I would do anything for a true friend. But once a person lies or screws with me....... than that's it. It's all over. I'm not so nice after that.

Kerri, I dont know you or have an opinion of you but I worked at WSAR when Rick Edwards was PD there and you don't get more Jewish than him. He was always treated with respect and never complained about mistreatment. I also worked for Rick Edwards at WBLQ when it was a heavy rocker on 99.3.

Because Rick did not really celebrate Christmas and other Christian holidays Rick would always work these holidays so his people could celebrate Christmas with there family's and cover there shifts if they did not want to work.Leaving the worry of coverage.Yea, I know we have computers now.

Having a Jewish boss has it's benefits in that sense and while he was celebrating his holidays a part-timer or two would get some OT because of his absence.
 
ABC 6 has a story about this thing up on their website..there will be blood on the walls, and a "For Sale" sign on 1 Home Street before this is concluded..
 
Moon stuck, I think you're being harsh here. When a newspaper has an on going story about a former radio personality and some have been affected by that person, feedback is understandable.
Keri R boss called Keri ' mentally ill' . Very strong words! Very uncommon, even to this board to have a Employer speak about a former employee in such a way.. my 2 cents.

Holy Moly. Did you watch the Video? How can you claim 2 and a half years of abuse but not file a complaint until 2 weeks ago? I've seen Keri's Myspace and some blogs where she has stated that she was excited about moving to mornings. You can probably still find cached versions online. So she was abused and excited at the same time? hmmmm..... that's interesting

But the absolute thing which is going to kill any case that Keri has are her very own words as spoken below:

In a statement issued by the DA's office, she said, "I really enjoyed my tenure at WSAR and my time talking with so many people in the county.

http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080806/NEWS/808060348/-1/rss01


So once again she claims abuse, but she just said she really enjoyed her tenure at WSAR!!! Someone send this to WLNE. She has no case. She was abused so much that she enjoyed it? CRAZY!!!
 
I read what Keri had to say, but it seems to me that its not the whole story. I was unaware of this temper of Mike Herren(though I'm by no means saying he doesn't have one), but I had heard of several complaints made to her about other things that fell on deaf ears as well. Keri, I think if you had really ever cared about that station, stronger efforts to change things would have been apparent.
 
oh man , this is great!!!!. i can't get enough. how was wsar not #1 with these 2 whack jobs?
 
Skynet74 said:
Thank you, but you give me to much credit. My demise at the station consisted of me saying Goodbye. I didn't start suing people or filing compaints afterwards. I would never even do that. If I wasn't happy than I would simply change jobs. I wouldn't stay there for 2 and a half years if I felt abused.

Yeah, it was this quote I am talking about:

"Let me respond to you. I was ticked off at Keri because I got a constant runaround. I was lied to by her on numerous occasions and my time was wasted. She even had an injured foot, had no food in her house and I was still willing to go to the store and bring her some. Yeah I'm a real bad person. I might be harsh in this forum, but I'm the nicest guy you could ever meet in person. I would do anything for a true friend. But once a person lies or screws with me....... than that's it. It's all over. I'm not so nice after that."


So maybe my use of the term demise was not accurate. I can, though, see why you would get the runaraound and be treated the way you claim because you come across as a not an easy person to deal with on this board, regardlss of the weak disclaimer saying you are the nicest guy you could ever meet.
 
haha it's pretty funny that the first paragraph of this story from the southcoast today online has some errors......

http://www.southcoasttoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080806/NEWS/808060348

"NEW BEDFORD — The morning co-host and program director of WSAR-AM1480 in Fall River/Somerset has resigned to take a job with Bristol County District Attorney Samuel Sutter, Mr. Sutter's spokesman confirmed Tuesday.

Gregg Miliote said that Keri Rodrigues (the non portuguese spelling) has been hired in the Community Affairs Division of the District Attorney's office as a child abuse and senior abuse prevention advocate.

I saw that yesterday. I would have posted about it, but to be honest I'm trying my best to stay away from this nightmare. There are two sides to every story and I do believe there are bits of truth in everything we are hearing. But I think there are plenty of exaggerations as well. Certain others are just playing along to keep their jobs. This makes the Depetro mess at WPRO look like a walk in the park. Thank God I'm finally moving far away next month. People around here are all losing their minds.
