So what ever happened to Depetro and St Peirre????

All the talk about Lawyers, Lawsuits, Criminal charges, Suspensions, Firings and NOTHING!!
What a bunch of BULLS--T! Nothing ever happened. All these guys are , are BLUFFERS!
Bluffing their way through their careers. WHAT A JOKE. Yea, and what action was taken
by management? ( Sorry, I FELL ASLEEP!) nothing! Ha!

WPRO = WEAK. :eek:




Booooooooooooooooooooooooo
 
That talk was all generated by one direction-JD's. If you go back and re-read the article now that it has cooled off, you can see where it was totally coming from him (and shame on Mike Stanton for not getting with all of the information ahead of time, reminds me of John Tomasse and the Patriots fiasco a couple of years ago).

It was all staged of course.

I doubt either party would agree to stage something that makes one guy look hot headed and the other look like he hasn't learned from past mistakes.
 
My take on this is that Depetro was kind of being a baby. He tried to take ownership of a guest like they were his property. That was his first mistake. His second mistake was making a big GD deal about it and confronting Ron. Who the F cares if the show after you also interviews the same guest. A good talk show host will always go into an interview with such great questions that no other host could even get an interview that's half as good anyway.

John needs to work on being a little more secure in his interviewing skills. He needs to say to himself ahead of time that I am going to make this interview so damn good that it is easily going to be the one that people will remember!

But instead he's running to the office like a maniac as if some other morning show stole the interview away from him. That isn't what happened here. So why is he all bent out of shape? Chill out Depetro. You are getting a litte nutty. It even caused you to accidentaly get a staple in the eye. That would have never happened if you just calmed your ass down in the first place.
 
Here is the real story:

*Depetro invented the whole situation
* Five witnesses at WPRO are on record saying St Pierre crumpled one piece of paper that was unstapled that missed Deptro
*Depetro was nearly terminated for lying and his day off was really a suspension and the only reason that it was one day was due to fear to unsettle any $ flowing into the station.
*Depetro fed the story to Stanton and the Projo and the station brass was really not happy and local leadership wanted him gone but Depetro was protected at the New York office.

St. Pierre reportedly simply went up to gutless Depetro and told him he didnt have the stones to approach him face to face and tossed a single piece of paper in his direction.

This is just more from a guy with a tired, boring act and an awful show. It appears he is being spared from the unemployment line by a bad economy and nervous sales people.
 
If that scenario is true, and I am not doubting you, it's the most ludicrous thing I've ever heard to allow to go on at a radio station. This is sitcom stuff and morale in that building must be at an all-time low.
 
I don't get this. If it's true then this blatantly did not happen but got printed by Mike Stanton then Bob Kerr went off on it. Did either of them try to get the true story? What about the infamous eye patch? Was it just window dressing? What about his eye doctor? He's making public statements that aren't true or was something wrong with DePetro's eye in the first place? Too funny that RI's news and information leader allows wrong news and information to be fed to the public. Do any TV people read this board? I'm sure they do. Maybe someone ought to dig deeper on this story.

All i can tell you is, This is the story Ron St Pierre has been selling around. My information is that second friday Depetro took off was an eye doctor appointment and then the lawyer. Lawyer Ragosta has had more than one conversation with corporate. I think it's pretty clear who JDPro is.
 
Geeeezzzuuuusssss, Clearly some insane outrageous situations have happened at wpro in the last few months. Manager Barbara Haynes let it all go on and did nothing to stop it or end it. Should she still have a job?
 
The patch was an act and Koch came out and made a statement that Depetro claims was without his consent. If thats the case, the good doctor is violating confidentiality agreements. Depetro may have gone to the eye doctor that day off but it was on a suspension. You do not see the journal going after the real story because St. Pierre and Cianci destroy the paper on a daily basis. Good old JD fed the story to Stanton and he was more than happy to print something to make that circus of a station look foolish. Clearly we know who I am ? Only 1 person would defend that scum Depetro... and we know it isn't his wife that he firmly placed under the bus the last time his dishonest behavior became public. How is your eye tattle?

I can confirm from a VERY good source that every word of this post is true.
 
Depetro should have stayed at HJJ. I know that we are talking 5 years ago, but even to this day I really think he should have just stayed there. I used to love listening to him and watching the simulcast on COX. He was a great alternative to Limbaugh. But now in the morning I have Stern. Nobody else really stands a chance until the day Howard drops dead.

I'd rather see Jim Corwin running WPRO then Haynes. I think alot of these things would of never happened.

Yeah he could have convinced the New York office to fire someone or maybe everyone

Johnny DePetro has become such a loser. It was obvious he was the one who ran to the ProJo with the "I was viciously attacked by a wad of paper" story. What is going on with this guy??
DePetro has become such an embarrassment.......and I used to love this guy when he was on WHJJ.
He's out of control.
JD insults colleague Dan Yorke's wife on the air, gets into a public confrontation with Yorke as he's doing his show from Cardi's in Warwick.
Then it's was the Arbitron fiasco and now this pathetic whiney embarrassing display.
Why is JD so out of control and in career self-destruct mode??
BTW, talk about a coup for Buddy Cianci. Him getting an invite to be on Sean Hannity's primetime show must have gone up JD's arse a country mile. JD and Hannity were boys when JD was in New York. OUCH!!!! ;)
 
So basically DePetro releases false information to the paper. Witnesses see what really happened and I assume one of the witnesses was Barbara. Maybe even Giammarco too. But the station lets the false information stay out there. Somebody needs to be made an example of in that place. What does this kind of crap say to the other employees in the cluster trudging away at their jobs and taking their pay cuts?
