Need gips response ASAP
My response is that a month or two ago Tony Trujillo punched Andy Roy’s girlfriend repeatedly. Both Andy and Tony acknowledged it on instagram. Shortly after, Priya, Andy’s girlfriend, came here to talk about what happened.
Shortly after that, both instagram posts were deleted and the slap thread was deleted by an admin (not mod) at slap.
The fact that all 3 pieces of media describing the event were deleted suggests a cover up of clear domestic violence by powerful people in the skateboard industry.
Fuck deluxe, fuck vans, and fuck that trashy pile of shit Tony Trujillo who brought all of their reputations down just because he can’t resist punching women.
Deluxe is fine with endorsing a guy who punches women, as long as the evidence is covered up.
Vans is fine with endorsing a guy who punches women, as long as the evidence is covered up.
I wonder if the giants know they just honored the subject of the entire skate industry cover up?
How does an industry that is FINALLY claiming to embrace the participation of women go along with such an obvious and ham-handed attempt at a cover up?
I guess its not that hypocritical- deluxe sponsors all sorts of trash, like that bitch Albino who got his ASS BEAT for throwing his board into the street during the dolores hill bomb, and they’ll orchestrate cover ups for woman beaters...but somehow they sponsor ZERO women...same goes for vans if I remember correctly.
Tl;dr: woman beater Tony Trujillo’s sponsors orchestrated a cover up to prevent the news that they sponsor a woman beater getting out. I’m far more mad about how they cover for and therefore endorse beating women than I even am for Trujillo punching the woman in the first place. Fuck deluxe and vans
