Tampa Radio: 'Slap Ass Friday' Call To WPOI Prompts Action

Hot 101's Jayde
A student's call to Top40 WPOI 101.5 FM (Hot 101) in Tampa Bay has prompted a Hillsborough County school investigation. Radio personality Jayde Donovan described the call received by 101.5 from a 13-year-old girl.

The topic of conversation involved the practice of "Slap Ass Fridays."

"The lines literally were loaded. I could not take every call that we got from girls all over the Bay area," Donovan said. "Middle school, high school saying Slap Ass Friday or Ass Slap Friday is happening at our school."

A YouTube search revealed thousands of results for kids slapping kids around the country. The incidents sometimes appeared to happen at schools and sometimes caught on camera. Donovan learned some students take things a step further in one radio interview.

The interview prompted calls from concerned parents. Some reached out to the radio station and the Hillsborough County school district.

"As soon as we learned of the allegation, school staff took it seriously and investigated. We spoke with several students and determined there was no incident on our campus. We do not tolerate any form of harassment or bullying and encourage students to let us know if they know about safety issues concerning our students."
