Angela Yee Reveals ‘The Breakfast Club’ Planned To Hire Two New Hosts All Along

The tension between Jess Hilarious and Loren LaRosa over their The Breakfast Club roles garnered attention earlier this month, and the OG host has chimed in with her thoughts. Angela Yee spoke with Fox 5 about what is going down over at her former job and even revealed they were initially planning to hire two new people to replace her. “When I initially left, they did say they were going to hire two people, so that was always the plan. I’ma be honest, I don’t know what’s being communicated to anybody,” the radio veteran said. This may come as a surprise to many viewers, as the point of contention was assumed to be over the two women fighting for one spot on the show. She acknowledged both ladies and their situations, specifically vouching for Jess and her hard work. “I know Jess was out on maternity leave and I know it’s tough coming back,” she empathized. “I know she’s expressed having a baby, postpartum, all of those things take a toll. And Loren works really hard, and Jess does, too. She’s on the road, and I think part of why they hired her is because of that. She does comedy shows, she’s on the road, that adds a lot to the show. Yee also provided her take about why the situation blew over the way it did. “Social media tends to get people riled up, it’s outside forces. It’s not what’s in the room and that’s what makes tensions sometimes build. But what is good is when we see a blow up and then work through it,” she said. The 49-year-old media maven co-hosted The Breakfast Club alongside Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy from 2010 to 2022. She left to host her own show Way Up With Angela Yee on iHeartRadio.
