If you see something ...

 

Jennifer Valentyne, a familiar personality and host from Toronto radio and Breakfast TV, posted the above tweet over the weekend.

It includes a 12 minute video in which she describes the toxic workplaces she says led to her exit from the airwaves.

Women face unreasonable obstacles in many industries, the media more than some.

Since Valentyne was morning on-air talent at Q-107 and BT, it's pretty easy to pin the tail on some specific donkeys she's talking about. 

In the hours since, dozens of media names have posted reaction to her tweet, supporting and sharing their own creepy experiences.

Many women checked in with workplace memories, offering info on the dodgy barriers and "bro" situations they faced.

It will be interesting to see how Corus Entertainment handles this small bonfire.
