sexist shock jock "steel toe" arrested. Shared nude photo of ex while live streaming





What happened?
According to court documents, Imholte was reported for sending a photo of a naked woman he knows to another person joining him on the podcast. The woman reported the incident to the police, leading to criminal charges against Imholte.

The criminal complaint outlines a breakdown in the relationship between Imholte and three others, with Imholte allegedly disparaging them publicly on his show beginning in April.

Then in May, while hosting his show, video shows Imholte allegedly sending a nude image of the woman to the person joining Imholte on his show. The charges state the two men discussed the nude photo on-air, which allegedly showed the victim topless.

Now, other online personalities are using this situation as content for their own shows.

Imholte denied sending and even receiving the nude photo. He bailed himself out of jail on Tuesday under a no-contact order for the victim.

Background
Imholte is known as a shock jock and often makes statements that some consider racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and more. Some who spoke to FOX 9 indicated that while Imholte used to "walk up to the line," he now crosses it regularly.

His past behavior

Central Minnesota morning show host resigns after repeatedly body shaming Iowa female host
Aaron Imholte is now broadcasting the show from an online platform.


A radio host in central Minnesota has resigned after spending a lengthy amount of time on his Nov. 20 morning show body shaming a radio host in Iowa.

Aaron Imholte, the now-former host of the Steel Toe Morning Show on "Rockin' 101" WHMH-FM in St. Cloud, repeatedly lashed out with vulgar and misogynistic comments about KAZR Des Moines morning co-host Heather Lee during his Nov. 20 show.

Imholte called Lee "fat," "a pig," and "diabetic" while joking that "pitbulls should eat her." He also encouraged listeners to comment on KAZR's Facebook page that Lee uses racist language in her private time and said a woman on a morning radio show is a "problem for the industry."

They are all “Discount” Howard Stern or Don Imus’s. Those two understood how to balance the act carefully. That’s because, like their acts or not, they are/were brilliant individuals who are/were masters of their medium.

examples of why and how we are such a stupid nation. Why is a "shock jock" an accepted profession? Why do we have them all over the airwaves, all over the country?

We have the collective tastes and common sense of a drunken frat boy!
