It only took six months for former City Council president Monica Conyers to lose her weekday afternoon hosting job on WDFD-AM in Detroit. The Detroit Free Press reports that Conyers was fired for violation of corporate policy.
The statement from the station read: “Effective immediately, Monica Conyers will no longer represent the Word Network in any capacity. Her services as a vendor have been terminated for violation of CORPORATE POLICY.” Conyers is the wife of U.S. Rep. John Conyers. In 2010, she was sentenced to more than three years in prison for bribery.
Conyers sent a statement to the newspaper stating she was not fired, that she left a few days ago and that executives got upset. Her attorney told the paper: “That’s just patently false. Monica had indicated a short time prior to this statement that she no longer wanted to be associated with the Word Network, that she was resigning. It’s spin from the executives … People’s egos are hurt.”
