Angela Yee Facing Backlash Claiming To Be The Only Woman Who Worked On ‘Breakfast Club’ And Saying She “Got It harder than [Charlamagne tha God]”

Angle Yee caused quite a stir recently when she sat down with Tamron Hall and spoke about her experience as the sole female host of The Breakfast Club

According to Complex she told Hall that it was difficult working exclusively with men, as she often felt like a lack of support.

“I was the only woman who worked there, too; I mean when it came to producers, camera people—and it wasn’t an easy room for me to be in,” she said around the 7:50-minute mark. “I feel like I did need more like backup you know because even things that I felt, as a woman … somebody can’t understand your point of view because they’re not coming from where you come from. So that was hard for me too, to be the only woman there.”

Watch below:

After the interview went viral DJ Envy—who hosted the Breakfast Club with Yee and Charlamagne tha God—responded to the clip shared by The Shade Room. He insisted Yee’s comments were “just not true,” and claimed, “there are plenty of women that work behind the scenes on [The Breakfast Club].”

He later clarified his comments in a video with the Michigan Chronicle:

Elsewhere in the interview, Yee said a perk of doing a solo show was that she was only responsible for her own comments. She told Tamron she was always held accountable for her co-hosts’ controversial takes, and would often get the brunt of the backlash.

“Sometimes I would feel like I got it harder than [Charlamagne tha God] did for some things that he said,” Yee explained. “And so I also want to make it clear that we’re all three individuals. You say what you say, feel how you feel, and I do too. But it’s hard because people affiliate you with the whole group.”

Lil Mama also weighed in on the interview, claiming Yee was not as innocent as she claimed to be.

“Oh PLEASE. She was up there playing foul games too,” the artist commented. “She has helped make multiple women (of color especially) feel like the only woman in that room numerous times.”

The backlash isnt over either, Erica Mena, gave her two cents to the interview as well.

In the comment section she said:

Is this the same woman who helped Dj shrimp play along in living this double life once upon a time? One of the few at the time that actually knew the truth of him being married. ( because the truth is for years he never openly acknowledge that – which is why I was one of many he a was with ) She would be hanging with us KNOWING I was absolutely unaware that he was indeed married. But still joined in with him fabricating this Cry Wolf scenario on radio just so he can save face in his broken marriage. The same woman that spoke about my child on air just help him degrade me?! The Fc@king Nerve! Boy do things come full circle!

Charlamagne and Envy are doing great without Angela Yee. She really brought nothing to that platform.

Angela Yee doing foul shit on The Breakfast Club to mostly other women then going on Tamron Hall and spinning this victim narrative is really confusing to me…and clearly the math ain’t mathing for the rest of Twitter either because we are all confused. https://t.co/uxnKufLXyG

For Angela Yee it wasn’t about you policing your cohost, it’s about you as a women standing up for other women when needed. There were way too many times where you dropped the ball.
