A former exotic dancer in St. John's says she doesn't accept the defence of Joel North — a private radio host who left his job after he told a woman she'd do better by stripping online. North, a DJ on Coast 101.1, tweeted a message to a woman broadcasting herself playing video games last week, telling her she'd get more viewers if she was stripping. "If she chose to be a sex worker, that'd be one thing," she told CBC. "But just lobbing that at a woman and reducing them to their body or their sexuality is really offensive." In his video, North characterized his comment as a harmless joke, and said it was not a demand or a request that the woman strip.
