Gather around family as we tell you a heartwarming story. One of Heroes and Villains.
This story has everything. A High School Education, High Cholesterol, Haters, and the shortest tiniest attempt at a brand launch you have ever seen.
Over the past two weeks, Netflix's "Last Chance U" Coach Jason Brown has completely gone off on someone for simply posting a picture of his product. No insults. No real negative comment was made by the OP. Just simply a picture of a product that he has named "Slapdick: Real Agave Whiskey"
Since her post Coach JB has not only unleashed a plethora of sexist, overly graphic, perverse, and hateful comments aimed specifically at her, he has doxed her place of work and encouraged all of his followers to go over to her page and harass her all while accusing her of clout chasing.
This archaic and wildly inappropriate behavior is being ridiculed across the Whiskey World and has spawned a wave of support within the Whiskey Community in her direction and led to his distributor dropping him and his products.
Today we talk to Chrissy, the victim of his hateful, sexist comments, and break down what actually happened. We are also joined in part by the man who helped break the story and who consequently has the most followers and fans out of anyone else involved, Coach JB included. NATE WOODRUFF.
Spoiler alert. This is a clear-cut case and the irony of calling your product Slapdick while acting like a total slapdick is absolutely hilarious. Coach JB elevated this situation and is doing everything possible to burn his own house down while accusing the world of a carefully coordinated competition assassination and clout chasing.
Side note. For everyone else besides the elephant in the room, I apologize for my hateful and petty comments.
And to Coach JB, Hey man. . . People who clout chase, usually chase someone with clout. That's not you.
No one knew you before this and no one will remember anything about you other than your hate-filled and sexist comments and a product pretending to be something it's not.
