Facebook spate with Matt Alan
Matt Alan, the host of Outlaw Radio and of Sirius XM Radio, had once made an indecent personal comment on his Facebook Page about Kacey who was substituting for Liberte Chan on morning weather reporting. He said:
“Am I the only one amazed, aghast and agape by the black thong clearly visible behind Kacey Montoya’s gorgeous white lace dress on the KTLA ch 5 Morning news?
I will be discussing this visual phenomenon later today on Outlaw Radio!!
featuring AJ Benja!!
Cheers, Magic Matt Alan.”
Montoya was obviously furious and had shot back:
“You are actually a pig and spreading false info.
As if it was any of your business (it’s not).
I was not wearing a black thong today.
Is this what single men who live in their mother’s basements discuss on their podcasts these days???
Lame Some advice.
Find something truthful and meaningful to talk about.
And leave ME out of your conversation.”
Matt twisted it towards humor and wrote:
“Dear Kacey, I am “actually” not a pig (“actually” meaning “surprisingly”).
Thank you for that.
I don’t do a podcast Kacey or live in my Mothers basement (rare to find a basement in the hills of Encino.It’s
my Fathers attic). However,
this was meant tongue in cheek, knowing that you we’re NOT wearing a black thong (or if you we’re, well aware that it was not clearly visible) with the exception of true admiration for the cut of your dress and your articulation in the presentation of climate type topics. Without
your permission, may I offer YOU “Some advice”? Chill
out, stop taking yourself so seriously and attempt to festoon upon your face a sense of humor. Cheers,
Matt.”[14]
