Diddy duty wasn’t THAT bad after all

- Stephen Rex Brown

THREE WHITE men who claimed they were victims of reverse racism at Sean (Diddy) Combs’ television network have now backed off some of their claims.

The men, Douglas Goodstein, Richard Wilson and Michael Schiff, alleged in a lawsuit filed in March that they were mocked for not getting “the culture” of televised broadcasts of the popular morning radio show on Power 105, “The Breakfast Club.”

The radio show is aired on Combs’ network, Revolt TV.

The trio — who had previously produced TV broadcasts of Howard Stern’s radio show — said they were shocked by the lack of profession­alism on the show.

“Whereas the show’s on-air personalit­ies tolerated lateness, the production team was used to producing shows where such a lack of punctualit­y was either less tolerated or not permitted whatsoever,” their lawsuit reads.

They said they were unfairly fired in December 2014.

But in new papers filed last week, the crew says they will no longer claim to have experience­d a hostile work environmen­t or workplace harassment.

Goodstein and Schiff also now concede they only experience­d “garden variety” emotional distress, papers show.
