Taylor SUED by a country radio host
Quote:
A Denver country music radio personality has filed a lawsuit against music superstar Taylor Swift. The lawsuit, filed Thursday in U.S. District court in Denver, alleges that David Mueller, known on the radio as "Jackson," was fired from his job and banned from Swift concerts for life based on false allegations that he inappropriately touched Swift during a photo session at the Pepsi Center.
The incident in question happened June 2, 2013, when Mueller was invited, as part of his then-job at 98.5 KYGO on the "Ryno and Jackson" morning show, to meet and greet Swift backstage. According to the suit, Mueller posed with Swift and his girlfriend, Shannon Melcher.
After some small talk, "Swift suddenly announced it was picture time" and "quickly put her right arm" around Melcher. Mueller jumped into the photo "at the last second." Swift cordially thanked the couple and they left, the suit said.
Later, as Mueller and Melcher were inside the Pepsi Center, they were approached by a Swift security team member named Craig. The security member accused Mueller of grabbing Swift's bottom earlier in the night. Security members surrounded the couple, verbally abused them and escorted them to an exit door, according to the suit. Mueller, who denies the allegations, was fired on June 4, 2013.
Mueller, who has worked in radio for more than 20 years, made a base salary of $150,000 at the time he was fired. His position also came with performance bonuses, product endorsement fees and public appearance fees.
