Scott Mills Breaks Silence on Sacking

0:00On April 1, Scott Mills, the former BBC Radio 1 and 2 presenter, just broke his silence after getting sacked over personal conduct issues. He confirmed a police investigation back in 2016 into a sexual offense allegation from nearly 30 years ago when he was in his mid-20s. That probe ran until 2019 when the Crown Prosecution Service decided there wasn't enough evidence for charges. Mills fully cooperated and says the sacking announcement sparked a bunch of rumors flying around. Fans and former colleagues have been hitting him up with support, and he thanked them from the heart while admitting he misses his listeners big time. At 53, he's asking everyone to respect his wish to drop the topic now that it's closed. The BBC announced his firing on Monday, but stayed tight-lipped on details, leaving questions about any link to that old case unanswered. Earlier this week, he hoped the media would back off. Will stay tuned for whatever drops next on this unfolding story.
