But then he gave the hat back to the boy it was meant for, right? He didn't just offer an empty apology and claim he is a otherwise an amazing person without actually making things right, right?
That he took the hat and only gave it back because it blew up on the internet is pretty factual, but that initial quote showing how much of an absolute asshole he is can only be traced back to Reddit, where the pics were deleted no less.
I can't find anything saying he gave it back. I can find articles with him denying he ever said what is claimed above while saying he has to fix his image but doesn't go as far as saying he is going to give that specific hat back. There is also nothing that independently confirms it and that it was based on a Reddit post alone.
There is zero reason to give a ceo the benefit of the doubt, anymore than there is a reason to give the police the benefit of the doubt. We are living in a time where the powerful act without shame and only apologize when caught.
