After Taylor Swift won a lawsuit against David Mueller — a DJ who Swift alleged groped her at a 2013 meet and greet — this past summer, Mueller was jobless.
That’s no longer the case.
According to the New York Daily News, Mueller is now the morning co-host of “Jackson & Jonbob,” on a Mississippi radio station, under the name of “Stonewall Jackson.”
Once the internet — and Swifties in particular — found out, all hell broke loose. Swift’s fans began actively campaigning on social media for Mueller’s dismissal from the station, even prompting people to contact the CEO and President of Delta Radio, Larry Fuss.
David Mueller (yes THE one who assaulted Taylor Swift) is now working again under the name Stonewall Jackson. THIS IS NOT OKAY. He was found GUILTY of sexual assault, so why does he deserve a ‘second chance’ why does anyone think anything about this is okay?? ITS NOT

Dude groped Taylor Swift and was found guilty by a jury in a civil case, yet he’s still hired in the same position that granted him access to the woman he harmed. Let me never, ever, hear again how allegations of sexual abuse “ruin men’s lives.” https://t.co/m3L8mq0X4D

Fuss doesn’t seem to care, though. He defended the decision to hire Mueller in an interview with the Daily News.
“I sat down with him [Mueller] face-to-face in Minneapolis before I offered him the job and talked to him about it,” Fuss said. “He’s either the world’s best liar, or he’s telling the truth. I tend to believe his version of the story and most people who have talked to him face-to-face do believe his version of the story.”
Doesn’t he realize Mueller lost the lawsuit?!
People are continuing to complain about the hire, and after a slew of negative reviews hit the radio station’s Facebook page, the ability to even leave a review was disabled.
Swift herself hasn’t yet commented on the situation.
