I followed Moxy Fruvous on tour back in the late 1990s. Jian was the drummer. I talked with him many times in the 28 times I saw them live. Jian is brilliant, egotistical, and thinks with his dick a bit. He is polite but can ignore you. He is the only person that got an interview with Leonard Cohen in a decade. He'll also swoop into your conversation and take the girl or boy you were chatting up. So yeah, there is probably a little bit from each side on this. The CBC probably got tired of something because Jian's late-morning show was popular enough to get onto their SiriusXM feed. The man had become a staple of the intellectual meeting the culture head-on and has done CBC work for a long time. There had to be more than what we already know, but yeah.
It's getting worse. An actress has now spoken about a date she had with Ghomeshi in which he went from smooching to punching. My guess is that girls will be coming forward in droves soon.
