A Tennessee CEO was fired after he was accused of harassing a teenage boy for wearing a dress to his prom.
Former VisuWell executive Sam Johnson, 46, was filmed telling the boy he looked like an 'idiot' at the prom near Nashville on Saturday.
He has denied the allegations, despite being caught on camera making the remarks.
The boy, Dalton Stevens, 18, told NBC News he wore the dress as a statement to prove that 'clothing is really gender-less' and 'that it has no meaning', in an interview on Monday.
The Franklin high school senior told the broadcaster he was harassed by Johnson while taking pictures with his boyfriend Jacob Geittmann, who later posted the exchange on TikTok.
'I explained [why I was wearing the dress] to him and he continued to just call me names and just follow me', Stevens explained.
He said the young couple first noticed Johnson making 'homophobic' comments within the pairs earshot while they were taking pictures at the Harpeth Hotel in downtown Franklin.
The telemedicine CEO then approached Stevens and Geittmann and questioned why the 18-year-old had chosen to wear a dress.
Johnson later allegedly told Stevens 'you have hair on your chest, you shouldn't be wearing a dress'.
Geittmann then took out his phone and started filming the exchange, during which Johnson said he thought the 18-year-old senior looked 'disgusting'.
In the footage, a clearly distressed Stevens can he heard telling Johnson: 'I chose what I want to wear so you can f*** off'.
While Geittmann is filming, Johnson apparently tries to knock the phone out of his hand, but ends up hitting Stevens.
Onlookers attempt to intervene, pleading with Johnson to stop, saying: 'It's just prom. It's kids, it's a bunch of kids. Come on, dude.'

I think the queers ARE the bullies :P
+1
and ignore the noob troll...
Kind of like, “let them do what they want. It won’t affect you”.
->(turns into)->
“You better make me a (queer) cake, or I will sure you out of business!” [and] “You better take pictures at my (queer) wedding, or I will sue you out of existence!” [and] Pushing their crap down our throats on TV, in movies, magazine, comics, school/education, etc.
Don’t forget about “queering” up our once great military.
I am not entirely sure which way he swings, so...
;D
So apparently he’s not gay.
I’ll accept it.
:D
My gosh... We need EYE BLEACH STAT!!! What is seen can’t be unseen... That kid in a dress should be raised by ADULTS, not whoever is raising him...
SANE and NORMAL adults, not lunatic weirdos.

Do the schools have bullies anymore?
Sure, try being a conservative Christian on Campus.
It does. Cf. Gen 19; Romans 1. Not to mention under the old law it was a capital offense.
“I long for the days when freaks knew they were freaks and avoided polite society.”
LOL! I know what you mean. If I had a pimple I’d stay in the background and avoid everybody. I knew I was a freak that day. Now look what the world has come to. Self awareness is a thing of the past.
“Watch some timorous wimps on FR say he should have stayed silent.”
Sadly, you’re correct. Some have said that.
“We got to this point because there was no pushback.”
That’s true in so many situations — like this one. I think the only way this can turn around is if “they” become more fearful of us than they are of the PC Nazis on the left.
That would apply to judges and juries who are intimidated by what might happen to them if they rule correctly. There has to be a way for them to be afraid of US more than they’re afraid of the left. I just don’t know what it is.
“The kid wasn’t doing anything illegal.”
But immoral is OK I guess. The Bible is full of Scripture encouraging Christians to speak boldly against wrong. I like
Proverbs 28:1: “The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion.”
I agree with your sentiments. I just didn’t like the advocating of a bully.
> The Bible is full of Scripture encouraging Christians to speak boldly against wrong. <
Agreed. I would have applauded this guy had he wrote a reasoned letter to the editor, spoke up at a meeting, etc. But instead he confronted that kid, and called him an idiot. That is simply not proper behavior. And it will change no one’s mind.
I keep forgetting, which one was with Elvis?
Was it Caitlin Jenner?
What galls me the most is not that there IS such a thing as “Drag Queen Story Hour” - but that parents allow their little children to attend such a sick, twisted event.
Says more about the parents of the children than the mentally ill men that dress up as over-exaggerated women.
This event would be shut down immediately if no one showed up - but they do, with their children. What a sick spectacle.
Well stated!
I wish I had explained it so well.
Not sure what you mean.
The Crossdresser is 18.
He is considered an Adult who can Vote, he can be Charged as an Adult if he commits a Crime, he isn’t a “boy”.
