On March 19, 2025, a notable confrontation unfolded on The Breakfast Club as Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy engaged in a candid discussion with their co-host, Jess Hilarious. The dialogue was sparked by Hilarious’s intense Instagram Live session, where she openly expressed her disappointment at what she perceived as a lack of support from her fellow hosts amidst online backlash.
In her Instagram broadcast, Jess Hilarious, whose real name is Jess Moore, also addressed her concerns about Loren LoRosa, the individual temporarily filling in during her maternity leave last year. When the radio team reconvened the following day, Charlamagne and DJ Envy meticulously examined the issues raised by Hilarious in her social media rant.
Hilarious articulated her belief that dynamics had shifted upon her return from maternity leave, highlighting that LoRosa, originally intended to be a temporary substitute, continued to appear on the show even after her comeback. DJ Envy characterized Hilarious’s live session as “corny,”questioning why she did not bring her concerns to their attention directly after returning.
“See, this is the thing. You let the internet dictate what’s going on. We’ve had conversations. And this is the thing, this is why I thought it was corny, and this is just me personally. I thought it was corny cos we have conversations up here. We just had a meeting. If we had an issue or problem or a situation or something that you felt, why you ain’t bring it to the team?”
DJ Envy followed up with:
“When you came back, Jess, I pulled you to the side and I said, ‘Jess, if you feel uncomfortable, if you don’t want Loren in the room, this is your show, we can make that change whenever you want.’ Did I or did I not say that to you?”
Charlamagne Urges Jess Hilarious to Ignore Internet Criticism
Jess Hilarious joined The Breakfast Club in January 2024, contributing her segment titled Jess with the Mess. During her maternity leave, Loren LoRosa took over the segment, a decision made by Hilarious herself. However, after her return, Hilarious alleged that LoRosa did not step back, seemingly establishing herself as the show’s fourth permanent host. In her Instagram Live, Hilarious shared her mixed feelings about LoRosa, initially disliking her but later recognizing her professionalism.
Despite acknowledging her growing appreciation for LoRosa, Hilarious expressed confusion regarding her role on the show, which intensified with vocal support for LoRosa from the public, including comedian Corey Holcomb. During the episode, Jess Hilarious conveyed her struggles with being perceived as the “villain.”In response, Charlamagne asserted:
“You’re not a villain. Who said you a villain? But what do I always tell you? I say stop listening to the internet, stop listening to the comments, stop listening to the folks on YouTube, don’t let them trick you out your position. What you did last night is what they want you to do and you can’t let the internet win.”
As the episode unfolded, Loren LoRosa made an appearance, expressing her desire to address any lingering issues with Jess Hilarious, particularly after witnessing her emotional response.
“It’s happening with love. You have to be OK for all of this to be OK. I’m a producer at the end of the day. You’re my talent. We’re going to be straight. Everything’s going to be fine,” LoRosa remarked.
As discussions continue, the future direction and format of The Breakfast Club remains uncertain.
