Minnesota Public Radio has fired Garrison Keillor after allegations of inappropriate behavior from one of his co-workers.
MPR announced the termination of Keillor’s contract in a statement Wednesday.
“Last month, MPR was notified of the allegations which relate to Mr. Keillor’s conduct while he was responsible for the production of A Prairie Home Companion,” the statement reads.
MPR says a special committee was appointed to provide “oversight and ongoing counsel” after the allegations. The station also brought in an outside law firm to conduct an independent investigation.
“Based on what we currently know, there are no similar allegations involving other staff,” MPR said. “The attorney leading the independent investigation has been conducting interviews and reviewing documents, and the investigation is still ongoing.”
