Exposing KISS FM Portugal's Breakfast DJ Simon Frater
Why did I make this site.?
This is my only way to show (with absolute proof here) that he has lied to everyone.
The following is a long read, but it will show (with proof) that what Si Frater has been saying in the Algarve is completely false and that his constant Facebook and twitter posts about me are made by someone with serious issues.
Have a listen to this:
Then his "charming" Mother Sharon Frater showed her true colours, the same horrible woman verbally abused me in a restaurant 2 years ago the day I decided to leave KISSFM over her deluded sons bullying.
This comment shows her as an extremely vile nasty person:

Simon Frater and his family continue to make false allegations about me.
His False, attention seeking Posts on his Facebook caused people in Albufeira
to humiliate and attack me online. I then left my job on KISSFM over him and his best friend replaced me. That was always the plan.
Frater then said i was sacked on Social Media, this is a completely lie.
He bullied me online for two years and played the victim to all his friends and the people of Albufeira.
He also leaked a fake news story to the Algarve Daily News in 2019 (now deleted)
His actions caused me to have a complete breakdown.
This lead to other legal issues for me when I stood up for myself too much in Ireland.
To this day I'm getting messages from business' and people in the Algarve that he's bizarrely still messaging them about me at 3 and 4am. He's obsessed.
If he lived in Ireland he would be imprisoned for many years over this (very strict laws)
Here's a message sent from Simon Frater to a journalist about me.
Not knowing the journalist knew me and would show me:

Look back at his Facebook posts about me, remember he says on Social Media that the following did not happen (Proof is here that it did)
Here We Go:
I joined KISSFM Portugal in 2018 after winning the award for the best radio show in the world on the MORA Radio Awards and it was the coolest and best thing in my life!
I came to the Algarve finally full of hope and excitement for my future.
I was told at the start by kiss staff to watch the Breakfast Presenter Simon Frater as he did not like anyone that took the attention away from him, he had a history of destroying people. I was told his jealousy is extreme...that was an understatement.
Simon was starting to get very nasty, he was introducing my show (he was on before me) by using a fake Irish accent for fun, he kept referring to me on air as "Paddy Power" he knew what he was doing. He referred to me as "the fat Irish man" and at the same time was destroying me behind the scenes to venues I had DJ’d in and to everyone that he spoke to.
I ignored it but was struggling in the background over his strange ways.
The Sunday Times UK (one of the biggest papers in the UK) came to Portugal to interview me in February 2019.
It was a good news story that finally cleared the air over fake news I had to put up with for years over very historic mistakes I made, those were the very thing Simon Frater was using against me. I’ll never forget the look on Simon’s face when he came into the studio during my show and saw a Sunday Times journalist interviewing me.
That Sunday the article appeared in the Sunday Times and I had a feeling of absolute relief, the headline on this national uk paper was “No More Criminal Records” and outlined my success after my very public fall many years earlier.

I felt so proud, and I sent the story to the Breakfast Show Presenter Simon Frater as I had heard the rumours of him back stabbing me.
The day this fantastic story appeared I felt so proud, but that night it all changed.
That evening a front page article appeared on the Algarve Daily News in Portugal entitled “KISSFM’s Afternoon DJ is Ireland’s Greatest Conman”
This absolutely humiliated me beyond words, it quoted multiple fake news stories in Ireland (Most since removed when proven false) and Shamed me beyond belief while promoting Simon Frater’s Breakfast Show on KISS FM.
To be fair, when the website realised the story wasn’t true they deleted it the day later but the damage was done.
For the next two days I received threats and abuse from people in the Algarve and all based on the article and Simon’s comments.
I made the gut wrenching decision that day to leave the afternoon show on KISS FM Portugal and I did. Then Simon Frater’s Best friend replaced me.
For the next few months Simon became obsessed with me and went on Wikipedia to remove every article about me on KISSFM.
You can see all that here for yourself if you look back, you will see what it said and then what he changed it to:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kiss_FM_(Portugal)&action=history
Take your time and look at that, you will see all edits are from “Simon Frater official”
In 2020 I came back to KISSFM to present the Drivetime show for a presenter who was off sick.
This angered Simon Frater as he had told many people that I was “Sacked” from KISS FM which was totally untrue. They also said KISS didn't know about my very historic mistakes, but they did! The videos I posted promoting that Drive Time show on the KISSFM Facebook had thousands of views and overtook all the breakfast show posts and again that angered Simon. My videos from the show on the Kiss fm Facebook page were deleted (police have the evidence, as he had done before to other shows on KISSFM)
Not only that but he left the ones with the lowest views alone but gave angry faces to make it look like it was KISSFM annoyed with me (it wasn’t):
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/52vajjo1oacm5e2v49c5y/20a.jpg?rlkey=zbgg8jyp8u0zlvykr4742gvui&dl=0
Then he blocked me on the official KISSFM Social Media while changing the accounts names in a bizzare way:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/u9wo9nm6wopaw6l/20of42.jpg?dl=0
To this day I’m still blocked despite my plea to the KISS FM boss who now was believing Simon over me. To be fair, it didn’t bother me as my New “Breaking” Show was due to start that Saturday on KISS FM. I messaged Simon Frater to tell him this and to tell him about my New Show and this was his reply:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/swxyqgnppy2pj6vtsng1j/sss.png?rlkey=gj8mowhbmk3zuh41hyi9yfbc1&dl=0
He seemed to be a friend but said “he heard nothing” about my new show and that “everything runs through him” which is NOT true!
He doesn’t run KISS FM..
My new show was advertised to start in three days:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/sfw279og4g3jc9a/2of42.png?dl=0
The day before my show started I was told my show "Breaking" would not go ahead, I’ve since been told Simon Frater threatened to leave KISS FM if I came back and instead THIS show appeared:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/xcmrr6c0hll2qq2/4of42.jpg?dl=0
Clearly this show “Breaking” was two fingers to me from Simon Frater and his best friend Spike Hammond who replaced me.
I contacted Simon to tell him I knew he deleted my Videos and stopped my New Show and he blamed his best friend Spike Hammond.
I then emailed Spike Hammond:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/n74tbonwcscpaoy/21aof42.jpg?dl=0
Instead of Spike emailing me back he sent a horrible pathetic email tagging everyone who worked at KISSFM destroying me whilst also threatening me (I was STILL doing outside broadcasts for KISSFM and it was my foot in the door still). Spike always loved attention and when you eventually see him in the algarve he has a t-shirt saying "I'm Spike Hammond, KISSFM"

Same time my Facebook account was disabled by someone saying I had a “fake” name:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/4kcltksqz37gme4/27of42.png?dl=0
Facebook KISSFM logins actually show it was Spike Hammond's Samsung phone that deleted all the videos same time my account was reported and then…disabled:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/nsszscvv0zwpjazb06thi/28of42.png?rlkey=vkrku9qu0s1v8odb1lvo7tpux&dl=0
I continued doing my Breaking Show on 1MUSIC and on 13th May 2019 made friends with the extremely talented Pete Cunnah (D:Ream- Things can only get better):
https://www.dropbox.com/s/h4smwviv7dfx2cz/17of42.png?dl=0
But magically and coincidentally a few days later Simon Frater had an Exclusive interview with him:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ml5b6obf6v0h3qy/18of42.png?dl=0
I again struggled on but was continually getting horrible messages from people that didn’t know me over what Simon Frater saying. At the same time The Portugal News done a story about my eventual coming back as I was been told every week by KISSFM I would:
Life went on and my show never appeared but suddenly Simon Frater started making bizzare comments on Social Media:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/apuk4j51vhtnlau/0.png?dl=0
Then I decided enough was enough and I went to the Police in Portugal with over 50 pages of evidence:
Legal Documents:
https://www.dropbox.com/home/Podcast%20Legal/GSOC1/bfast/GNR
Days later when Simon Frater realised that I had made a complaint he added a new radio jingle to the end of his show bragging that he would “never get fired”:
https://video.wixstatic.com/video/3df81c_86b2c8be933f46868071a5c7beecadc8/1080p/mp4/file.mp4
For weeks I had to listen to this jingle on a daily basis and despite my complaints to the boss at KISSFM in Albufeira, she didn’t stop him or the jingle. She has repeatedly protected him in many issues and numerous people have left kiss fm over his bullying
Weeks later I (and others in the Algarve) made a complaint to the ERC in Portugal (Portuguese Broadcast Commission) and they not only ordered KISSFM to remove the jingle but also sent a file to the Portuguese Ministry of Justice as it was a “serious offence” So now there is also another criminal case through the ERC against Simon Frater’s actions:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3tzp3kwkohpt1k7/41of42.pdf?dl=0
For the next few months I received abuse of the worst kind from friends of Simon Frater over what he was telling the. For the next few months he again went on bizzare rants on Faceboo and even live On-Air. Whilst he didn’t name me publicly it was clear to everyone it was me and so my abuse continued.
You can read his bizzare Facebook post here (along with the rest) and make up your own mind:
https://www.facebook.com/100008487212849/posts/2680102772282604/?d=n
In July 2021 Simon Frater was finally brought in to the Police Station in Albufeira and questioned for hours over my allegations.
On Facebook he claimed his mental health was suffering and he needed time off KISSFM. The reality is that he did not know what would happen at the Police station. This offended me as I've suffered from depression all my life and he didn't care about what he was doing to me.
Then his father decided to get involved with someone on one of Simon’s attention seeking playing the victim posts:
And now I get death threats his friends who are clearly angry at what Simon's attention seeking posts are “saying”. This is just one example, the other comments about me being "Hanged" and "Dying of cancer" are too explicit but are with the Police:
At this point i will stop and not post anymore links. Simon Frater in the last few days has again made bizzare Untrue Facebook posts saying I “want what he has” and am “jealous”
This argument is stupid when you see what I’ve done in the last few years.I regularly appear as a panellist on Al AJazeera to over 30 million people, I’ve won global radio awards, my listen backs to my shows in the last three years are over 300,000 compared to his and Spike's 320 combined.
In February 2021 I got police in Ireland and other countries to do the Jerusalema dance to pick people up during a pandemic and even had the Irish department of Justice tweeting along with me. This was a major thing and no other DJ in the world has done anything like this:
https://extra.ie/2021/01/16/must-see/garda-challenged-dance-battle
To those of you (only his English friends from the otherwise perfect English community here) that have sent me death threats, racist slurs and more on what Simon Frater said I hope you feel absolute shame and that you understand that I have never been the problem. The reality though is that you won't. I wish you knew the amount of sleepless nights and absolute stress I’ve dealt with over Simon, I will never be able to describe how helpless I feel knowing he’s turning it on me.
I’ve done my absolute best and people like Simon Frater or Spike will never stop my success.
The only reason this page is here is that he still claims none of this happened and that he is the victim of me. As you see with all the documents, he is lying
The case is being investigated by a Judge in Court and the reference number is here:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/0tl6w6zarlsy2jbd30q08/P8.png?rlkey=rkbknknx89d0af76nfzs3pv8u&dl=0
I’m disgusted that he has pushed me to this stage to make a publc post.
In the last few weeks I’ve made posts like this on social media but always deleted them and it was always after one of his crazy posts on Facebook. He and Spike affected my mental health and made me lose patience with hate.
Simon gets me angry with a fake post on Facebook and then screenshots my reaction (as he watches my account) and sends them to his boss and others to make me look bad.
I’m a proud Irish man who has worked harder than anyone will ever know and I even released a book that tells my real story on battling fake news, trolls and more here:
Spike Hammond:
The newest thing now is getting my replacement on KISS FM Spike Hammond (his best friend) to Create fake posts on Facebook filled with lies and anger that make people even more angry. Then when I respond on message he shares it on Facebook like a child. You can see his vile post here which just show a jealous and clearly unstable man struggling with reality. You can also read the comments to see what I'm putting up with:
https://www.facebook.com/spike.hammond1/posts/10160013637140934
Spike was doing a free weekend show at Kissfm for 7 years and only got a show when I left at the last minute. He’s now terrified of losing it and believes his “friend” Simon over anyone.
Life is too short and the Algarve is a beautiful place filled with good people, it’s always a small few that destroy it in the most extreme way possible.
Simon Frater has winged his way through life by doing to others what he is now doing to me. He says it's all fake and malicious to throw people off the facts.
His and Spike's Facebook posts are shockingly low.
The constant plan has been to attack me online by making attention seeking victim playing posts whilst also making them feel better by getting support from people that clearly don't know what's really going on.
Thank you all for your support and I apologise for having to make this site. It's from sheer frustration at being abused and threatened by people who don't know me over what Simon Frater and Spike Hammond say. Simon is the person being investigated by Police and his ongoing hate campaign has been noted by them also. They also have in their possession a fake lease he gave me when I joined KISSFM to get a bank account. I didn't use it but kept it just in case as it felt wrong. This document names a friend of his as the landlord and the Police are also looking into this. Simon contacted a journalist in 2021 trying to give another fake story about me saying he also tried to help me when I had no where to stay, the reality is I was living in Alvor (30km away) and was commuting from there to KISS every day. That journalist sent me the screenshot (as he knew me) from Simon and it's also with the Police. So again, it totally backfired...
Thank you to the GNR who have taken this all very serious and I await the next step from them, sadly if KISSFM had taken action with him from the start this would never have happened.
UPDATE 28TH OCTOBER 2020:
New complaint been made to Police re Spike Hammond's posts and Simon's ongoing hate campaign along with the threats I've received on foot of it from his "Friends".
Those "friends" comments and disgusting threats (Me being hanged and dying painfully) are also with the Police along with the information of the publishers.

As part of trying to "pick up the pieces" I contacted every English paper in the Algarve to advertise my book for balance. Everyone did except for the Algarve Daily News who said they "Did not want to upset the English Community"
Remember that this is the paper that shamed me initially
Proof:
They also printed a story about the ERC and Simon Frater but then deleted it when Simon contacted them saying it wasn't true. Clearly it was, the proof is outlined on this page.
Here's the story:

UPDATE JANUARY 2024
In 2022 Simon Frater he made a shocking attention seeking post about a legal situation Frankie had to deal with in Ireland. He then said "Charges" in the case Frankie had about him (Frater) were dropped,
This is not true. Frankie did not respond to legal papers in time forcing it to stop.
The reality is that that situation in ireland only happened because Frankie's mental health was affected by Simon Frater's actions. Again, if Frater lived in Ireland or the UK he would be in Prison for a long time over this.
