Joe Budden Calls Antonio L.A. Reid A Sexual Predator Who Repeatedly Asked 18-Year-Olds At Record Company For Sexual Favors

June 1. 2017

Former rapper, Joe Budden, has slammed record executive, Antonio 'L.A.' Reid, branding him a "sexual predator." Reid, a twice married father of four, was recently forced out of his job as head of Sony Music subsidiary, Epic Records, over a lawsuit alleging he sexually harassed his secretary. Reid has yet to comment on the allegations. However, he has a history of cheating on wives with secretaries and singers. Reid has cancelled his speaking engagement at the MIDEM music conference in France, in the wake of the scandal.

Budden stated of Reid, "I’m just gonna say it. LA Reid is a sexual predator. And now that I have this seat and these allegations are out, let’s just let the cat out the bag. There were multiple assistants at Def Jam that said that L.A. Reid liked to call 18-year-olds in his office soliciting sexual favors. I don’t know if that got out to the public and how he got another job, this news about the assistants, I don’t think this was a secret in the music industry. This speaks to the issue of powerful men and how they’re able to come and go as they please. These companies want to rid themselves of the liability. I’m sure there’s a Bill Cosby list somewhere..."

This definitely sounds like Reid and it does concur with what I have written on the Judiciary Report for the past 3-years, regarding information that came from reliable sources I know and one of them knows him as well (see "related articles" below, as for years I have been warning about Reid's behavior in this regard). Reid has been pursuing many women in the entertainment industry for nearly 3 decades.

Reid pursued singers Pebbles, Vanessa Williams, Rozanda "Chilli" Thomas and Paula Abdul, as well as models and actresses. It didn't matter to him if he was married or not, he went after many women and has not changed his ways. Reid's first wife Pebbles is beautiful. Reid's current wife Erica is beautiful. However, the problem is with Reid. He is a greedy, selfish, disloyal man and people like that are never satisfied. Women need to avoid relationships with men like L.A. Reid, because they will wreck your life.

As stated above, Reid is married. Therefore, his behavior is morally wrong. If he was a single man and respectfully asked his secretary out on a date, that would not be inappropriate. Some women have married their bosses and it turned out fine. However, Reid is not a single man and went too far in allegedly asking his secretary to lay with him in bed and hug him, while they were away on a business trip. Once a woman makes it clear she is not interested in dating you, do not push the subject anymore. Based on the lawsuit, Reid kept sexually harassing her.

To make matters worse, the secretary stated in her lawsuit she complained to Sony's management and they did nothing, stating words that indicate she could lose her job if she did not go along with the sexual harassment. That's not fair, but that's Hollywood for you. It is a cesspool of corruption and depravity.

I am reminded of a lawsuit against Maverick Records, where a secretary fled her job and sued, complaining she was being sexually harassed. One so-called executive even had the gall to tweak her nipples at work, which was the final straw. What kind of trashbag work environment is that.

Once again, this is Hollywood. It's a terrible, lawless environment to work in. Women and some men are constantly subjected to sexual harassment and sexual assault. Vile threats of financial, legal and social ruin are thrown about to terrify and subjugate victims.
