State officials yesterday ordered Hot 97 to stop its controversial Smackfest, in which women wallop each other in the face.HOT 97 has been in big trouble lately. As a tenant in the building where I work, they've been in the news for having their guests shoot it out with each other (three times over the past few years). Everyone is coming down hard on them.
The girl-on-girl contests — which sometimes draw blood — amount to an illegal boxing match that could lead WQHT-FM officials to be charged with a crime, the state Athletic Commission said.
What's more, the commission warned station general manager Barry May — as well as Jeffrey Smulyan, chairman of parent company Emmis Communications — that WQHT faces a $10,000 civil fine if it continues.
Adult supervision is definitely warranted in this case.
