Arnold Schwarzenegger Cancelled: What Did He Say About Freedom? Controversy Explained
A Florida-based sports nutrition company, REDCON1, has boycotted actor-producer Arnold Schwarzenegger after his freedom remark, as per Daily Mail.
The former California governor gave some strong remarks on vaccination in a recent chat with CNN, where he used the words ‘Screw your freedom.’
He pointed out that wearing masks, maintaining social distancing, and washing hands regularly are important to fight the virus and asked people not to think about how their freedom has been disturbed.
A moment later, he added, ‘No, screw your freedom.’ He further went ahead and called the people who did not wear masks a ‘schmuck’.
REDCON 1 founder Aaron Singerman took to Instagram and said they are a patriotic pro-freedom brand and anyone who says ‘Screw your freedom’ is un-American.
Singerman said they do not want Arnold censored or canceled but they cannot support his opinion with their dollars.
Is Arnold Schwarzenegger The Man Behind OTEV Mask On Big Brother?
OTEV, the power of Veto, has become one of the most loved parts of the Big Brother cast.
Each year the OTEV takes a new form and this season OTEV took the form of a giant octopus with a serious potty mouth. He also has a bit of an accent.
This led fans to believe that the man behind OTEV’s mask is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, according to Distractify, the actor who voiced OTEV in episode 18 of Big Brother is Joe Gaudet.
He encouraged his followers to watch Big Brother on August 18 in a tweet and also retweeted some behind-the-scenes footage of the OTEV statue being built.
