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 have no problem with people disagreeing with him. It was your advocating of bullies that I addressed.
“I say it’s time to play a different game and push back.“
Johnson did push back and hit someone.
For that, he faces consequences.
Ugh, if I were an admin I’d give you at least a one-week ban for subjecting others to look at that crap.
This thread is gross.
People need to see what the “love is love” crap actually promotes. They’ve got to groom their victims while still young and impressionable
Shining a bright light on these sick in the head freaks is exactly what’s needed in order that sane people, on BOTH sides, Rep and Dem, know about it, and, hopefully, help do something about it. Allowing it to go on in the dark behind closed doors is not the way. They are brainwashing our kids with this sort of insanity at younger and younger ages.
that guy is not God.
Get another job where you don’t have to censor your speech to keep it.
“He just got mocked and it hurt his precious feelings.”
Yes, and for the very low price of the CEO losing his job and likely getting sued.
Wow, I don’t know who’s uglier in the photos, the obese ‘woke’ mothers, or the drag queens. For the kids, it’s probably an improvement to what they have to look at and deal with at home.
We all know it’s there, driving traffic to their site does not help us. How about using words to inform people and provide links to click if the reader wishes to see the pictures instead of everyone reading this thread being an unwilling participant?

Could not AGREE more. They only get EMPOWERED when we get disgusted and ‘look the other way’. We need to go back to making them PAY A PRICE for this crap...although I don’t see how we get there.
Which “that guy” do you refer to?
And do we have freedom of speech or not?
People need to be shamed and ridiculed if they are going to pimp their attention whoring degeneracy in public
Lame, I’m in no way suggesting see no / see no / speak no. Let the READER decide if they want to look at those freaks by providing links instead of driving traffic to it unwillingly. I’ll give you the last word but try to use reason this time.
You mean *some* people need to see that. Not me. Not everyone. Some.
He Is being raised by IDIOT PARENTS!
dont bet on it.
these kids can be worse than the Hitler Youth.
They tell their parents what will happen.
They call CPS on their parents if they do not get what they want
They call police and get school counselors involved if they do not get what they want.
