Ex-Detroit councilwoman Monica Conyers: I wasn't fired from radio station I quit

[TexasTowelie]

Ex-Detroit City Councilwoman Monica Conyers is denying a radio station's claims that she was fired for doing something wrong at work, saying instead that she quit a few days ago and that executives got upset.

"Monica was not terminated. She left. She has a lot going on right now," Royal Oak attorney Daniel Findling, who represented Conyers in a prior divorce proceeding, told the Free Press today.

As for claims that Conyers was terminated for violating a corporate policy, Findling said: "That's just patently false. Monica had indicated a short time prior to this statement that she no longer wanted to be associated with the Word Network, that she was resigning. It's spin from the executives ... People's egos are hurt."

Findling's comments are a reaction to a memo that was released today by the Word Network, a Southfield- based television and religious broadcasting network, which announced that Conyers, the wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., was fired from her position as radio host on WFDF-AM (910) "for violation of corporate policy." She got the weekend gig six months ago, though it wasn't paid.

1. If footage of her conduct while on the Detroit

Council are an accurate record then I believe the station sacked her.

2. I seem to remember that hissy fit.

3. Or the time she was rightly rebuked by a little girl

In fact I seem to recall it was because of the Shrek outburst.

He gave seven specific reasons for her termination:

1. Attempted to use a corporate benefit that didn’t exist for you. Example, using my executive assistant to book a room at The Peninsula in Chicago for $750/night when it wasn’t approved.

2. Attempted to garner a discount using her husband’s Federal Government ID when he was never a part of this trip. She has a Federal ID number, but it isn’t the Federal ID number that people want.

5. Banging on the CEO’s door. It is closed for a reason, either I’m on the phone or meeting with someone…I am not looking for you. She bangs on the door until I open it!

5. I think those are good grounds for dismissal.

I wonder if anybody else will hire her considering her criminal record and attitude.
