Radio host David Druid takes leave from Sveriges Radio P3

Radio personality David Druid will not host the P3 morning program, Morgonpasset, next week following the circulation of social media videos. The clips reportedly show Druid making derogatory remarks toward a woman during a private altercation and allegedly tearing her jacket.

Sveriges Radio press chief Claes Bertilson confirmed that the broadcaster and Druid have mutually agreed on the hiatus, noting that both parties understand the strong emotions the material has provoked.

In a statement relayed by Sveriges Radio, Druid expressed regret, stating, “I am really not proud of some of the things I say in the clips that have been published.” He added that filming during a private dispute can capture unpleasant statements, but maintained he is not proud of his conduct.
