Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskins was suspended from Citizen’s Bank Park for the rest of the Phillies season after an allegation that he gave an “unwelcome kiss” to an Aramark employee, as reported by Audacy.
Eskins, 73, is a well-known figure in the Philadelphia sports scene and has been hosting his show on 94 WIP sports radio, owned by Audacy, since 1986. The incident involving Eskins reportedly occurred in May and was investigated by Aramark, the Phillies and Audacy.
According to a statement from Audacy, they acted quickly to address the matter after becoming aware of it. The Phillies also expressed their support for Audacy’s decision to suspend Eskins from the stadium, stating that ensuring the safety of their employees is of utmost importance.
Aramark also confirmed that the incident had taken place and pledged their commitment to maintaining a safe work environment for all staff members. Meanwhile, NBC10 attempted to contact Eskins for comment but has not yet received a response at this time.
