Apple exec fired over crude TikTok video
Apple’s vice president of procurement, Tony Blevins, has been fired from the company after his crude remarks in a TikTok interview went viral
Apple has fired its vice president of procurement, Tony Blevins for making crude comments in a viral TikTok video.
It all started with an interview that went horribly wrong. Creator Daniel Mac posted a video where he asked Blevins what he does for a living, and Blevins response didn’t reference anything respectable.
“I race cars and play golf and fondle big-breasted women. But I take weekends But I take weekends and major holidays off,” Blevins replied.
The video has been viewed over 1.3 million times.
The video didn’t identify Blevins by name and didn’t reference his position at Apple, though Blevins does note that his job offers “a hell of a dental plan.”
But Apple moved quickly to fire Blevins, saying the comments don’t align with their values and respect of women.
Apple is known for being a family-friendly company, so it’s no surprise that they wouldn’t want an employee making crude jokes on TikTok.
This just goes to show that you should be careful what you say on social media.
