Republic Records President, Music Mogul and Judge of Fox “The Four” Charlie Walk claims he is being extorted by an old rival Tom Gilligan. Charlie Walk claims to have a voicemail of Gilligan threatening to destroy his career. Walk states that Gilligan is upset because he didn’t set up a meet and greet between Gilligan & Jon Bon Jovi. According to TMZ who has possession of the voicemail quote on quote:
“The caller, who sounds drunk, offers Charlie a “deal” — resign from ‘The Four’ and Republic and “nobody will ever say anything.” He claimed Walk hired hookers, and 3 women were ready to go public as part of the #MeToo movement.”
For those who are not familiar with the #MeTooMovement, this was created by victims of sexual and domestic violence as a way to share their own experiences with sexual assault and/or harassment without going into depth. This also displays their unity and support for one another.
These threats from Gilligan was left on Walks voicemail a month prior to Tristan Coopersmith going public with allegations of sexual misconduct against Walk. Due to these accusations, Walk has resigned from “The Four” season finale. The other judges on the show P Diddy, Dj Khaled and Meghan Trainor still haven’t spoken out about Walks decision on resigning for the season finale. Also, there’s no indication of who will be replacing Walk for “The Four” season finale this Thursday.
Walk’s attorney, Duncan Levin, says they’ve taken the necessary steps and filed a complaint about Gilligan with the Manhattan D.A.’s office and submitted the voicemail as evidence.
Heads are rolling at various major record labels since the #MeToo movement has started and we doubt if This story is developing.
