Philadelphia sports radio host Howard Eskin has been suspended from Citizens Bank Park for the rest of the Phillies season after being accused of an “unwelcome kiss” toward an Aramark employee, according to Audacy. The incident reportedly occurred in May and was investigated by Audacy, Aramark, and the Phillies.
Eskin, who is 73 years old and hosts on 94 WIP sports radio, has been a fixture in the Philadelphia sports world since the 1980s. He has worked at WCAU and has been broadcasting on both radio and TV for many years. Despite his suspension from Citizens Bank Park, he will continue to host on his normal time slot Saturday mornings on the radio.
Audacy took the matter very seriously and immediately launched an investigation after learning about the incident. A source familiar with the investigation says that it corroborated the allegations made against Eskin. The Phillies also cooperated with Audacy and Aramark on their investigations and supported Audacy’s decision to suspend Eskin from Citizens Bank Park.
Aramark stated that they take such matters seriously, as safety of their employees is paramount. They began an investigation immediately after learning about the incident involving one of their own employees being subjected to an unwanted advance by an Audacy employee. The source close to Eskins said that he was not present during this incident when it happened in May at Citizens Bank Park.
