Tony Blevins: Apple executive shocked over firing after 'big breasted women' ... trends now

The Apple executive in charge of trying to keep the tech giant's costs down in China, is still hurting after he was fired in September after making a joke that was captured on TikTok.

Months ago Apple confirmed Tony Blevins, 55, was departing Apple after 22 years following dozens of reports and complaints from several hundred employees over the viral video uploaded on September 5.

The departure came at the same time as a chain of events that impacted Apple's supply chain in China, due to the country's continued harsh Covid-19 related protocols. Blevins, the company's vice president of procurement, was referred to as 'Tim Cook's cost cutter.'

In a new interview, Blevins said he thinks his firing was the result of Apple bowing to 'broader cultural pressure.'

Speaking about his firing, Blevins said: 'They humiliated me and damaged my reputation.'

In the video, TikToker Daniel Mac, who asks owners of expensive cars their occupation, approaches Blevins, 55, as he parks his $500,000 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.

Like he's done dozens of times, Mac asks Blevins what he does for a living, with Blevins answering: 'I have rich cars, play golf and fondle big-breasted women, but I take weekends and major holidays off.'

'Also, if you're interested, I got a hell of a dental plan.' In a new interview with the Wall Street Journal, Blevins said that he was told by a fellow executive after the video leaked: 'This is really bad, some people have complained.'

He added: 'It was 22 years dissolved in about 25 seconds. It utterly shocked me. My whole life has been Apple. I tried to be the most loyal person.' 

The quote is a reference to the 1981 movie Arthur starring Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli. The plot of the film revolves around a man born into wealth who surrounds himself with the finer things in life.
