Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin has been suspended from attending Phillies home games for the remainder of the season. This decision follows investigations by Audacy, which revealed that Eskin kissed an employee of Citizens Bank Park's food service provider Aramark without consent.
Audacy, the parent SportsRadio 94WIP, issued a statement acknowledging the incident and confirming they had "immediately investigated" the matter upon learning of the "unwelcome kiss" involving the Aramark employee, as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer earlier this week.
"We cooperated with our partners at Audacy and Aramark on their investigations," the Phillies stated, emphasizing the seriousness of the allegations. "We support Audacy's decision to suspend Howard Eskin from Citizens Bank Park."
Aramark's statement confirmed that their investigation substantiated the allegations. "We then collaborated with Audacy and the Phillies to ensure appropriate measures were taken to protect our employee and all Aramark employees at Citizens Bank Park," Aramark stated.
Eskin, a Philadelphia native, played a key role in launching SportsRadio 94WIP's first Sports/Talk show in 1986. He was inducted into the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame in 2022.
