Jess Hilarious is NOT holding back when it comes to The Breakfast Club! After a heated Instagram Live session, she took to the airwaves to call out DJ Envy, Charlamagne Tha God, and her Breakfast Club colleagues, making it clear that she feels blindsided by the addition of media personality Loren LoRosa. Now, the drama is spilling over into the show itself, and fans are questioning whether Jess is being pushed out.
Jess Calls Out The Breakfast Club Over Loren LoRosa
Jess Hilarious, whose real name is Jess Moore, has been co-hosting The Breakfast Club since early 2024, filling the spot left by Angela Yee. However, after going on maternity leave, she returned to find that Loren LoRosa, a former TMZ producer, had secured a growing role at the station—one that seemingly overlapped with her own.
On Instagram Live, Jess didn’t mince words. She directly called out The Breakfast Club, saying she finally understands why Angela Yee left. She also revealed that she never liked LoRosa when she first returned from maternity leave and felt completely disregarded by the way LoRosa was added to the show without anyone informing her. According to Jess, what made the situation worse was that not a single person defended her from social media criticism, making her feel isolated at her own workplace.
“You try coming back to work, and the ……. is right there at your desk, and ain’t nobody telling you ……,” she vented during her livestream.
Jess also emphasized that while she respects LoRosa’s talent and work ethic, she worked hard to secure her own spot at The Breakfast Club and deserved to be part of the conversation about changes to the show.
What’s Really Going On? Jess vs. Loren LoRosa
When Jess went on maternity leave, she handpicked LoRosa to fill in for her segment Jess with the Mess. But when she returned in November 2024, she was shocked to find that LoRosa had remained on air and even secured her own slot.
Her frustration stems from two main issues:
- Loren LoRosa’s growing role – Jess says no one informed her that The Breakfast Club would become a four-person show and that LoRosa’s news segment had essentially replaced her own slot.
- A lack of support from her colleagues – Jess expected DJ Envy and Charlamagne to defend her against social media backlash and clear up the situation, but instead, she felt ignored.
While Jess admitted that she and LoRosa have since made amends, she stood firm in her stance that the situation should have been handled with more transparency.
DJ Envy & Charlamagne Respond On-Air
After Jess aired her grievances online, the conversation continued live on The Breakfast Club. DJ Envy and Charlamagne addressed the tension, making it clear that they didn’t expect Jess to go public with her frustrations.
Charlamagne explained that the plan was always for Jess to be the host while LoRosa remained a senior news producer. However, DJ Envy questioned whether the drama should have been handled behind the scenes rather than on air.
Jess, on the other hand, reiterated that the energy in the studio has felt “weird” since she returned and that she wasn’t being made to feel like her presence was valued.
Loren LoRosa Speaks Out: “You Have to Be OK for All of This to Be OK”
Loren LoRosa also addressed the situation. She said that while she understood some of Jess’s frustrations, she was blindsided by the extent of her grievances.
“I’ve had conversations with Jess to improve our working relationship,” LoRosa said. She added that she publicly defended Jess to show there was no real issue between them.
LoRosa also mentioned that avoiding difficult conversations only made the situation worse. However, she remains hopeful that they can work things out.
“It’s happening with love,” she said. “You have to be OK for all of this to be OK. I’m a producer at the end of the day. You’re my talent. We’re going to be straight. Everything’s going to be fine.”
What’s Next for Jess Hilarious?
With tensions still high, it remains unclear whether Jess will stay at The Breakfast Club long-term. While she insists that she wants to be part of the show’s future, the behind-the-scenes drama suggests that change may be on the horizon.
