More details are now known concerning David Mueller, the former country KYGO 98.5 FM known as 'Jackson', Denver morning deejay who is suing Taylor Swift.
Mueller is suing for lost wages after he was fired by then-station owner Lincoln Financial. The firing was the end result of an meet-and-greet incident at the Pepis center where Swift alleges Mueller touched her on the butt. He says it's a case of mistaken identity.
Now comes word that it is Mueller’s contention that it was actually KYGO PD Eddie Haskell who had the egregious exchange with Swift, according to InsideRadio.
According to the court filing, “Mr. Haskell excitedly told [Mueller] about his experience meeting Ms. Swift earlier that night. Mr. Haskell stated that Ms. Swift had recognized him and yelled out ‘Eddie!’ and then had rushed to him and given him a big hug. He described and demonstrated how he had put his arms around her, hands on her bottom, and then explained that he and one of his friends in the industry think Ms. Swift must wear bicycle shorts under her stage outfits.”
The court filing also claims that after Mueller was falsely accused by Swift for inappropriate contact, the singer’s representatives contacted then-station owner Lincoln Financial Media and said they were “considering all their options if KYGO did not ‘handle’ Mr. Mueller.”
He was fired by the station from the Ryno and Jackson morning show the next day.
It's also been learned that Mueller contends he underwent polygraph exams following the incident.
Mueller’s suit against Swift claims he lost his $150,000 a year job and other business opportunities because of the allegations.
