In a brief chat with talkSPORT News, Jenas said, “I can’t really talk about it. As you can probably see, I’m not happy about it. But currently, as it stands, I’m going to have to let the lawyers deal with it.” He added, “You know, there’s two sides to every story, as we know. So that’s all I can say right now.”

Jenas had just started a show on talkSPORT, but the station has now put his future on hold. A joint decision was made for him to continue presenting in principle, but talkSPORT confirmed: “There are no plans for Jermaine to broadcast as a presenter on talkSPORT in the immediate future.” The broadcaster acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations and said it’s up to Jenas, as a private individual, to address the matter.
