On Wednesday (March 19), Jess Hilarious addressed tensions with her Breakfast Club co-hosts DJ Envy, Charlamagne tha God, and Loren LoRosa after returning from maternity leave.
Jess expressed her discomfort with changes at the station, particularly regarding LoRosa’s role. "When I came back, it was weird," she admitted, adding that she initially wasn’t “too fond” of LoRosa’s presence.
She elaborated on her frustration, explaining, "We had a whole plan… how I pick her to fill in for me, right? I come back, she ain’t never leave. Aight, cool that she [doesn’t] leave. But she’s on only during my segment. If she was meant to be a full-time host, move her in another way. Why she gotta be moved in on—’cause nobody had a problem with ‘Jess With the Mess’ until she started reading right, until she started reporting."
Jess also made it clear that her role was never meant to be that of a journalist, stating, "I wasn’t hired as a reporter, I was hired as ‘Jess With the Mess.’"
DJ Envy responded by reassuring Jess that the team supported her and encouraged open communication. "If you had an issue, a problem, a situation or something that you felt, why you ain’t bring it to the team? We have your back! … You are great at what you do," he told her.
Charlamagne also chimed in, advising Jess to “stop listening to the internet” and not allow online chatter to “trick [her] out of [her] position."
The exchange highlights some of the behind-the-scenes tensions at The Breakfast Club as the show navigates its evolving lineup.
