Q107 cuts ties with longtime Toronto radio personality after sexism allegations Toronto
personality revealed that she had filed a gender discrimination complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission against a former employer.
Valentyne claimed that coworkers screamed at her, belittled her, called her names and brought her to tears, then laughed about it. "Would you take a dream job working as a radio host if you knew you would be working with a co-host with accusations of prior abusive behaviour towards women?" she asked in the video.
"Would you complain about it if you knew that women before you were moved from that room, eliminated, because they spoke up? Would you complain knowing they would choose to support the man no matter what issues were brought forward, and it would put your job in jeopardy? Because history had proved that?"
Though she did not name names in the post, fellow former peers from Q107 shared the post in support and called the station and Derringer out directly, adding their own stories of him and his behaviour to the mix.
