Tony Blevins Incident
Daniel Mac’s interview with Apple’s vice president of procurement, Tony Blevins, took an unexpected turn when Blevins made an inappropriate comment in the TikTok video. In response to Mac’s question about his occupation, Blevins remarked, “I race cars and play golf and fondle big-breasted women. But I take weekends and major holidays off”. The video, though not explicitly naming Blevins or referencing his role at Apple, quickly gained traction on social media.
The video prompted an internal investigation at Apple, leading to Blevins’ removal as the head of his team.
