WMMS Morning Show Sued for Thrown Beer Bottle

W

WhiskeyRobber

Cleveland’s Dominick Dieter, heard on Clear Channel rocker WMMS on the Shane French “Rover’s Morning Glory”, is in trouble and is getting his employer sued. He’s being accused of throwing a beer bottle from the stage at the station’s RoverFest, hitting a woman on the head. Courthouse News reports that the woman, Tiffany Yuhasz, says Dieter was drunk and claims she suffered “nerve damage, pigmentation change … tissue loss and indentation of her forehead.” Also that “Clear Channel encouraged Dominick Dieter to indulge in his ‘criminal personality’, on co-defendant Shane French’s show on WMMS 100.7, and at the party.” The suit against Dieter, French and Clear Channel also claims Dieter has “historically accumulated numerous incidents of assault and physical injury upon himself, other persons and property … and his aggressive and dangerous behavior … was condoned, ratified and left unrestrained” by Clear Channel and French. Yuhasz is asking for damages for pain and suffering, and medical expense of more than $4000.

This had been percolating for quite a while. Needless to say I am surprised that anyone let another RoverFest to occur this year.
 
How Dieter is still employed there following this is the real mystery. Some CC bigwigs may just be wondering the same exact thing.
 
Having dealt with this guy when I worked at 92.3, nothing makes me happier than seeing this guy in a world of hurt. I hope ths lawsuit goes horribly wrong for Dieter. It's too bad jail time doesn't seem to be on the table! What a jerk he truly is!

The day after Marty Allen and Paul Rado were let go by CC, Rover explained that his crew was protected by his contract. This might be some "protection" afforded by Rover's contract.

I doubt if his contract can protect him from this type of behavior. I am usrprised he wasn't arrested for assault. CC may just be getting thier ducks in a row before axing him.
