A year after the unpaid internship, he revealed that his female boss at KBC once called him for screen coaching. During the coaching, he discovered she had worn a mini skirt that exposed her thighs.
“I had a female boss who had an eye on me. She would call me to her office, she had a miniskirt so she would cross her legs like this and I’m sitting here like, Dennis, so this is how you read news, so this innocent born-again boy is looking at the script and looking at this.
