A judge has dismissed Chicago radio host Melissa McGurren’s defamation lawsuit against her former employer, Hubbard Radio Chicago, whom she alleged falsely branded her a liar while responding to her harassment claims against former co-host Eric Ferguson.
he led for 25 years in late October, shortly after the Tribune reported that DeNicolo had sued him earlier in the year.
Ferguson has not spoken publicly about the allegations, but through his lawyers and in legal filings he has denied inappropriate workplace conduct. In court filings, McGurren said Ferguson demeaned, harassed and ridiculed her. She described him as “a serial abuser of women” and said management failed to respond, then forced her out when she demanded that the alleged harassment stop.
Her lawsuit included an affidavit from a former Mix colleague, Jennifer Ashrafi, who went by Jennifer Roberts on air and said Ferguson’s “abusive behavior is open and known by all at The Mix.”
