Washington, DC area Top 40 radio station Hot 99.5, the same station that paid thousands of dollars in Bobby Brown’s back child support only to have the “Tenderoni” singer back out of a deal to appear as a week-long guest DJ, is once again underfire. This time, fans of one-time “American Idol” runner-up Katharine McPhee are outraged that the singer was treated rudely on-air with radio personality Kane .

Kat appeared at the station while she was in the Nation’s Capital for a rally supporting presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Katharine was interviewed by an intern named Ally on The Kane Morning Show. The station had previously agreed not to swamp the singer with any “personal questions.”

Ally began the interview by quizzing Kat about her forty-two year old fossil of a boyfriend. Al then asked if having a boyfriend who was so much older hurt or helped the relationship.

An irritated Kat stated that she did not wish to discuss her private life.

Angry fans have flooded Kane with hate mail, to which he responds:

“Maybe she should have been nicer and been live as she promised.”

“I’m getting increasingly frustrated by e-mails from McPhee fans that don’t know the whole story and are writing me angry e-mails. It makes Kat look bad when ever other word in your e-mail about how you thought we didn’t handle the interview professionally starts with an F.”

“Slam us, go-head,” Kane writes. “We agreed to have her on; we followed the rules. They didn’t tell the truth. Kat could have had a little more fun with Ally. She could have said, ‘You guys know you’re not supposed to ask me personal questions. What’s wrong with you?’ Rather, she just got mad.”
