Green Bay Radio: Personality Hit With Restraining Order

Otis Day

A Green Bay WIXX radio host has been granted long-term restraining orders against a former Kiss FM DJ and another man after they admitted roles in a conspiracy to harass her.

Winnebago County court officials issued the injunctions Friday morning against Emily Chagnon and Richard “Otis Day” Dey. The orders, which stem from petitions filed in March, will remain in effect until 2030 under an out-of-court agreement reached by both respondents with Natalie Jansen and her legal team.

Under oath, Dey directly acknowledged his involvement in the harassment plot. “As you’re sitting here today, under oath, you admit and acknowledge that you were a part of the conspiracy to harass Ms. Jansen, correct?” Jansen’s attorney asked.

“Yes sir,” Dey replied. 

Chagnon also accepted responsibility during the hearing. “I am an adult. I take responsibility, good or bad,” she said. “Yeah, I prayed a lot about it, I learned a lesson and moved on and yes, I take responsibility for my actions.”

Natalie Jansen

As part of the agreement, Jansen’s team will conduct a full forensic examination of the respondents’ social media accounts and electronic devices, her attorney Mark McGinnis confirmed.

McGinnis further alleged that Chagnon operated a Facebook page under the alias “Sally Gibson,” where she posted information about Jansen and WIXX that was allegedly supplied by Dey.

Jansen’s attorneys also claimed Friday that Dey’s wife, Melinda Dey, participated in the conspiracy. 

They stated that Dey has not been fully truthful about the extent of the involvement. Attorneys plan to file a restraining order against Melinda Dey as early as Monday.

The case highlights ongoing tensions in the local radio industry following the filings in March. The extended restraining orders through 2030 provide Jansen with legal protection for the next six years.
