BBC Drops Scott Mills Over Old Sexual Offense Claims

On April 1st, BBC Radio 2 DJ Scott Mills got the boot last Friday, March 27, after the

broadcast had got some fresh info on him.

He had a long run there, super popular with fans, but they cut his contracts quick once

they talked it out with him.

This all blew up after weeks of pressure on the BBC to spill why he bounced so suddenly.

Turns out, back in 2017, they knew about a police probe into old claims of serious sexual

offenses against him.

That investigation wrapped in 2019, with no charges, since evidence wasn't enough to

move forward.

Folks online, and in the media, went wild speculating, and it shocked a ton of listeners

who loved his show.

Now the BBC is digging deeper into what they knew back then.

They say they acted fast on the new details to match their values, and Mills hasn't

hit back on request for comment.

They're doubling down on better culture and rules, stressing last year's reviews set

clear lines.

No one's above them if they cross them.
