Season 2 of Everyday Struggle premiered on Monday (January 22) and the new episode came with the announcement that Troi “Star” Torain was replacing Joe Budden. As co-host Nadeska Alexis explains in the latest episode, when she got home from taping the show, she received a text message prompting her to check Twitter.
What she found was an onslaught of sexually inappropriate comments Star made about her on his own show Star In The Morning last month.
“How ’bout that Nadeska from ‘Everyday Struggle’?” Star says. “How ’bout that little hot thing? I would love to jerk off on her leg, just jerk off on her leg. Nadeska. That’s a hot bitch. I just want to say that on some reckless shit.”
Naturally, Alexis — the sole woman on the show — addressed Star’s crass comments on Tuesday’s show (January 23). She began with a simple question, “Why?”
“Ok hang on, hang on,” Star replies. “I didn’t know I was going to meet you guys. I say what I say. I do what I do. I snitch at night the way he [co-host DJ Akademiks] snitches in the morning [laughs]. I said some things. When I got the email in regard to coming here, I didn’t even think about it. I didn’t think it was an invite to be a co-host. When I got down here, I said, ‘Oh it’s an audition’ So, those comments were made way before I was contacted by you guys. Those comments were made without having any knowledge that I would even be here.”
When Alexis asked, “So, if we’re already co-workers, it makes a difference, but if it’s someone you don’t know, you would make those comments?”
“They were sexist,” he said. “They were foul and they were wrong.”
Star goes on to assert he’s always “respectful” of his co-hosts and said he has “never” called his female co-hosts the “b-word.”
Considering Star’s “shock jock” style, which got him fired from Power 105 in 2006, his comments aren’t surprising but could cause more trouble down the line. Only time will tell.

I like this guy Star
LMAO!!! Complex was aware of this and they still hired the homie..FOH
LOL it’s fucked up. They wanted shock and awe and they definitely got it. People are talking.
This is some SJW bullshit
If people like you start calling everything SJW bullshit it’s going to lose all meaning. This doesn’t fit into SJW bullshit.
Yes it does. This is SJW shit. If Nadeska said that same shit like she wanna rub her pussy on Joe leg before they got on nobody would even give a fuck. Tired of these double standards and people always taking the bait. But maybe we’re taking the bait by acknowledging it.
HAHAHA this is ridiculous. The whole point is she wouldn’t ever say that. Some things you just need not say especially as a grown ass man. He corny. It’s juvenile.
Everyday Struggle died when Joe Budden left
We want salty Joe Budden back.
Does star even need to be on the shower?

Star is a paedophile. That alone should’ve deterred Complex from hiring that rat.
Complex desperate for attention for Everyday Struggle
Joe Budden was the highlight of the show. AK Akademiks is a little lame annoying nerdy gossip hoe
Star actually fits pretty well on the show imo. Idk why Nedeska or whatever is offended, it’s just a lil spooge on ya leg who cares? It’s 2018, be more understanding
In reality Star sayin’ that is actually a compliment to her “sexy”…
He sips at night like akademiks sips n he morning hhdx get yo shit together
Saying you wanan jerk off on a girls leg is not sexist, it’s creepy at worst and hilarious at best. Hence why he said ‘ on some reckless shit.’ Complex is mad corny. They liked the controversy that Joe brought so they needed someone to keep going with it so they can stay in the headlines. The show is already mad corny.
Show is a everyday struggle literally and figuratively since Joe has left.
Where’s her t i t s thou?
Star not a good fit at all. You can tell he dont give a shit about the music just the gossip surrounding the music. He reads headlines from blogs and runs with it. Ak and Joe worked great together because theyre both fans of the music and actually listen to the music. Star old out of touch ass probably listens to Ingleberg Humperdink and shit. Get somebody knew or cancel the show. Finito.
