Agree it was a bad joke. They need to learn, she needs to learn and move on. No dish it out if you can't take it. Public is also stupid for making conclusion based on half the information and being influenced a few drama queens. Sad.

Sorry, but don't get what you're talking about. Saw the whole incident on YouTube. And still trying to figure out why you would say something like that. Paula was just telling them what is was like to be homeless and hungry.

And then slic dick starts making fun of her for eating out of garbage can. That's just wrong period.

I don't get the Olive Garden hype too it probably has slowed down already.

The lines are still supposed to be insane.

Last night I was at Ala Moana Center, and went to Olive Garden out of curiosity. However, I was told outside by an Olive Garden employee that there would be a waiting time of about two hours. No thanks, went elsewhere.

It was a joke gone bad. I'm sure it sounded hilarious in his head, but a comedian has to read the audience. It was a fundraiser for the Hawaii Foodbank. Plenty people getting desperate right now. This is going to last a long time.

This story provides more detail than that Instagram post.

It was a bad joke, but sometimes bad jokes get you in trouble.

Whoa, that's all? No public apology by offending parties and contribution toward Paula's favorite charity? Anyway, that's how it is nowadays but at least this time the Shock Jocks got strapped

Both sides were guilty, joking, making fun of each other before the stupid kicked in. Unlike black lives and drama begging for revenge not justice, this Paula got on the air and said no body need to get punished, as she was a contributor to the situation. She is one pretty Akamai lady--said she wants this to be learning experience. Wow, somebody who actually not protesting or begging for attention but doing the right thing. She no can cure stupid, those fella still going be as it is, but she can make change with no riots, violence, protest, no outrage, no lives matter bullshit.

Hitting rock bottom it never goes away, I know, the bad is right there just under the surface forever. Smart wahine hope the lemmings who riot and protest for no good reason learn from this--not likely is my bet.

Just sad how 98.5 had to make fun of Paula and her past. 98.5 time to break up the morning crew. Just saying. Hono1.

[MitsFunai]

This has been those guy goto they just talk shit about everyone. Pretty gross to listen to their hit pieces every single day in the morning. Can't believe people are into his nonsense.

Lots of people revel in the sufferings of others and enjoy putdowns of every manner; they love it. Starts from the elementary / middle school ages (or earlier); kids like to copy whatever they hear, see, etc.

That Slick Vic guy got suspended. They should give him the axe, they were hosting for a fundraiser for hunger and he makes those remarks during that. What an idiot.

Try to do good for others and the trolls always want to tear the goodness down. It's because they too selfish, lazy, and untalented to kokua.

What goes around. Wait until it's their turn. I try do what little I can for help; no can physically, so try to give what can monetarily (I not one saint and I ain't trying to brag).

Sad what happened, esp. In any business where we must be careful of any actions. Worked with both parties in the past, esp. With Rory and when we were just listening to the programs for our fun and work when Paula shared her youth and Slick Vic ran his mouth as usual without any forethought of action reactions, we all looked at each other and said, DAMN! No way, that is immediate cause for release (well with what we do). I know there was an apology immediately after but the damage is done. Been on both sides, it would be immediate suspension until sit, meet, discuss, and action. They meeting later today, but Slick VIC going have to find work elsewhere. IHeart ownership will separate themselves from these types of actions as any corporation would protect itself from any liabilities and financial repercussions. Paula is a great talent and good kid with a great heart. But, if anyone has gone through homelessness and hunger with that hardships would understand. A few in our group did after a good heart to heart talk with each other, a bonding moment. Morning show 98.5, hard to live this down, you could hear it in Rory's voice throughout this morning's show as well as when he was taking calls. All you can do is listen and moderate. Sad, but it is our current time.

Can't stand Vic and can't say I'm surprised. I remember at a Destiny MMA event he was the ring announcer (think Bruce Buffer) and he started commentating during the fight. He made fun of a guy who got KO. Later on in the night one of the guys in the fighter's corner sucker punched him. Straight karma.

Was a long time listener to 98.5 and the wake up crew. They're always putting others down in attempts at humor even each other. It's blowing up on social media, a lot of people calling for them to be fired and / or boycott 98.5. They going to come out with an apology statement and soon for damage control.

Old news and that will never happen!

Strong fan club member of hers can be radical feminist who believe men must be pigs and exploiters.

People who want to defend prostitution will not do their efforts like open protest to keep their hobby.

But people who believe society must save poor human trafficking victims, especially immigrants females, will do organized activity and shout a lot.

And cops need award score. AMPs can be considered organized crime, international felony (immigration fraud, human trafficking, money laundering, Inter-states hovering illegal prostitute etc).
