So, I was listening to Jenny Hutt on my drive home & she was talking about the vitamins she takes. She was listing them off by brand names and then said something like "Let me be clear that I pay for these. I buy these."  So I still think something happened with Taylor getting kick backs from guests.

Oooooooh, that is so telling!! Now both Jenny's have said something to that effect- has to be something to it!
 

 
Sorry if I missed this but what did the other Jenny say?

I am with the camp of the Turks trip being the reason she was fired. All signs point to that, but there is one other thing in the back of my mind. When she was talking about the Harvey Weinstein scandal, she mentioned a few times, including on her last show with Lori, that there's another powerful guy in the business who she predicts will be next. Lori didn't want to go there with her, but I'm almost certain I know who she was talking about. In the back of my mind, I'm wondering if she got in trouble for even alluding to this man. Anyone else catch that?

 
I totally caught that too! It seemed as if Lori was more afraid to talk about it and stopped Taylor like “don’t go there, let’s move on” - they both were definitely taking about the same person. I wonder who it was??

Found this- certainly seems like the trip and/or any "arrangements" she might have had with the doctors could have run afoul of it.

WOW!! Great find DB! There were so many things in there that could have applied...yikes. It would have had me shaking in my boots if I were her!!

You should be a detective... and we need to chat before your shoulder surgery!

DB, !

Wherever there's trouble we're there on the double, we're the bloodhound gang.

Shout out to anyone who knows that little ditty.

Okay, so now let's speculate on how her long list of code of ethics breaches (trip, hosting gigs, GG, $ webinars, doctors, dentists, love psychics, etc) went down...

Did someone rat her out (Katie) or did a higher up stumble upon her getaway IG and put two & two together. I'm thinking Katie must have said something to mgmt, hence Tay's snarky comment about running things past Katie first.

I don't think Katie would have said anything-she and Taylor seemed pretty tight.

Nice find!

I think this is what did her in, all the Drs, perks, then the trip was the icing on the cake.Personal "conflicts of interest" exist any time employees or directors face a choice between their personal interests (financial orotherwise) and the interests of the Company. Conflicts of interest may call into question the Company's integrity. It is thereforecrucial that service to the Company not be subordinated to personal gain and advantage and that all employees, directors andconsultants be accountable for acting in the Company's best interest and for avoiding even the appearance of a conflict. Anyindividual in a position where his or her objectivity may be questioned because of an individual interest or family or personalrelationship (including if a member of an individual's immediate family or household works for a company which is itself in directcompetition with the Company) should notify his or her immediate supervisor, or the Company's Human Resources Departmentor General Counsel. Similarly, any individual aware of a material transaction or relationship that could reasonably be expectedto give rise to a personal conflict of interest should discuss the matter promptly with SiriusXM's General Counsel.Potential conflicts of interest involving an executive officer or a director will be reviewed directly by the Board. Potential conflictsinvolving an employee of, or a consultant to, the Company, other than an executive officer, will be reviewed in accordance withCompany Policies.In certain limited cases, activities giving rise to potential conflicts of interest may be permitted if they are determined not to beharmful to the Company. Any such determination will be made by the Board in the case of executive officers or directors, and inaccordance with Company Policies in the case of other employees.

Yeah, she went to Matts Hamptons place with them. I can see her saying it wasn't a good idea (what I think Taylor meant about should of listened to her), but not tell on her.
 

 
True, they seemed tight and socialized outside the studio. BUT, the show was cancelled effective Sunday and Katie miraclously was producing on Just Jenny on Monday.

The way Tay promoted the trip she said WE will be doing show on beach. Leading me to believe there is the possibility she was planning to have Katie there too. Or maybe this just the phrasing freaked Katie out knowing it was a conflict of interest and wanted it to be known she wasn't the mastermind. In any case, Katie didn't lose her job which makes me think she covered her ass and said to her boss, "this is what is happening and I don't want to go down with the sinking ship." 

I have been in a similar situation at work where a co-worker whom I considered a friend was doing something nefarious against our employer.  This was a friend who I frequently spent time with outside of workplace. We were "tight". When I caught wind about what my friend was doing you better believe I immediately went to my boss and unaligned myself from the friend.  At the end of the day, my loyalty to my employer (hello, pays my salary) trumps said friendship.

Does anybody know if all these Doctors, Dentists arrangements etc.. started after Matt became her  manager? The timeline seems about right. 

 
It did, even more so after she tried out the WeWorks space. It seemed like she met ppl in the space and offered a trade of service to be promoted on the show, then shortly after she was looking for a space for her dad to do Botox (?) in the city and mentioned she would get a cut for setting it up.

I remember Kenny saying (in a mocking tone) ‘young kids come off the street who never worked a day in their lives showing us a PowerPoint on how to rule radio’ 🙄 - later I realized he was talking about Matt!

Don’t forget: she also had The Female Quotient on which is now her GF’s full time employer

Hello!!

Another longtime lurker here, making it official!

You guys are always spot on about everything, I love it.

I had a love/hate relationship with the show. I listened from the very beginning (I think I got Sirius in 2003). I'm 37 so I have more or less grown into adulthood with the show. I miss the good ol' days with Kenny when Taylor seemed a little more down to earth, always laughing, etc.

In regards to Katie, I don't really know if she would have said anything to the higher ups but it's no coincidence that she was on with Jenny Hutt on Monday. I was an avid listener of Derek and Romaine as well as the other OutQ shows. D&R were the first show to be axed from the channel (which is now Radio Andy). I don't think they got much of a warning from what I remember. They DID have a goodbye show of sorts. Anyway, Katie was their producer and right after their last show she went over to Wake Up. So I don't think her getting a new gig so quick means anything.

When D&R got axed Sirius played music for what I feel like was WEEKS while all the other shows still went on. So I don't know how long it takes Sirius to replace things. A while it seems. D&R have moved on to Podcasts, it took them a while to get started since they needed to get their home studios set up however they kept in touch with fans on a constant basis through periscopes, live youtube streams, etc. So there really is no need for the radio silence (no pun intended?) from Taylor but it's not surprising plus you are all probably right, she might be tied up in a lot of legal crap (although saying your only method of communication is Instagram is silly).

2 tidbits: I live in MA, grew up in he same area as Taylor (certainly not the same town, not in the least!). I believe we even went to the same summer camp one year. Should I go onto the Facebook page and boast about it? lol  
  I have a booklet of coupons for various shops, restaurants, etc in the area and there is one for Strecker Eye Care in it!

 

To add on, she was recently getting kinda snarky periodically on her advertising live reads. There were a few times when I heard them and thought either, “Did she really just say that/use that tone?’ Or, she would stumble through the reading and ad libbing was not her strength.

I always go back to how great Jenny M is, her ad reads are awesome though! I swear she uses the squatty potty, and she did one for cat litter said she didn't have a cat, told the company and they sent litter to all her neighbours instead to try 😂 If she's making it up, she's doing a great job!

More & more I wonder about Matt's involvement. If he advised her in anyway on all the instances of getting goods/services in exchange for radio time, she is hopefully securing new management.

I like her show too meep meep, but her need to abbreviate ever second word and those god awful live reads make me feel ragey.
