As the fallout surrounding the continued Ishawna-Foota Hype drama
continues to mushroom, the producers of Onstage TV have hit back in
response to the Broadcasting Commission’s probe into the graphic
nature of a September 20th interview of Foota Hype on the CVM
television programme.
Winford Williams, producer and host of Onstage TV, defended the
programme, saying there was no breach of broadcasting regulations.

“What is the breach? Is it the word ‘oral sex’, or the context of sex
and infidelity? It did not occur to us that the word ‘threesome’ or
‘oral sex’ would have been a breach of any broadcasting rules or
whether those words would have been offensive to viewers,” he said.
Williams said that the programme’s producers had not received any
official correspondence or reprimand from the regulatory body.
“We have not heard from the Commission in any official capacity.
However, it would be interesting to hear how people will respond to
Ishawna’s story of abuse, and how difficult she found it to get a
restraining order. I hope that these ‘crusaders of morality’ will take
up the issue and help other mothers out there who are crying for the
system to work,” he said.
Williams was making a reference to an interview on September 27th by
Ishawna during which she details the physical abuse she experienced in
her relationship with estranged lover, Foota Hype.
However, it is the previous week’s Onstage interview on TV which has
triggered the brouhaha. During that interview, Foota Hype, a dancehall
selector made repeated references to ‘oral sex’ and ‘threesomes’ while
discussing his failed relationship with singer, Ishawna. The
Commission will be deliberating on the matter at its next meeting
scheduled for September 29
The interview prompted one person to write to The Gleaner last week,
criticising the producers of the programme and lambasting the
Broadcast Commission for condoning vulgarity.

So with all of that they werent concern about FOOTA ADMITTING TO ABUSING ISHAWNA???? AND WHAT LAWS ARE THERE TO PROTECT FEMALES AND ALSO TO HOLD FOOTA ACCOUNTABLE ???boy o boy, I have nothing further to say more than GOD BLESS ME COUNTRY WHE ME LOVE SO MUCH
That is not the broadcasting commission’s business really. They are mainly about seeing that the laws in place which are aimed at mostly protecting children are not broken. No country would have any legal right to do anything based on what Foota said. They cannot hold him accountable based on what he says without proof..I can say I bombed somewhere and there is no evidence of it so what would the police be able to do ? The broadcasting commission is not the police. Don’t do that man because nothing wrong is being done, people are making a bunch of noise for absolutely nothing. Children cannot be exposed to any and everything which is where they are coming from and it is within their jurisdiction to investigate that and fine. Winford should not respond because that is only adding fuel to the fire
It is Ishawna that is responsible for making sure he is held accountable and she admitted to waiting for two hours for the restraining order and thought it was too long. Even here in the U.S it will take you just about the whole day to get one because that is how it works..You meet with a judge who has more than one case for the day…the judge decides then you must wait on the clerks of the court to give a typed document..It is not an in and out process anywhere
No it is not a quick process anywhere and Ishawna would have needed to be prepared to invest some time into it, maybe the make-up session could have waited
