True Geordie dropped by Gymshark after \u201cIslamophobia\u201d accusations in Andrew Tate beef Twitter: True GeordieFitness apparel company Gymshark has ended its relationship with UK YouTuber Brian Davis, better known as True Geordie, following remarks made towards Andrew Tate leading to accusations of discrimination and Islamophobia. On Monday, November 7, drama erupted as True Geordie was accused of Islamophobic comments, after making a joke that Tate, a Muslim, should \u201cdo the right thing,\u201d with an implication that the divisive social media star should \u201cblow himself up\u201d as suggested in a prior comment. These comments immediately started to go viral and were picked up across TikTok, Twitter, and further afield, eventually being heard by Tate himself. Tate was quick to respond to Davis, saying: \u201cAfter me converting to Islam, he made a piece on one of his podcasts saying I\u2019m not true in my conversion, and then insulted all Muslims. Making f**king racist comments about an entire religion as if that\u2019s somehow funny. Let me tell you something my friend, and True Geordie if you are watching this, this is a message directly to you. There are certain times in life when you need to know when to shut the f**k up. \u201cTo insult my religion, and the religion of billions of people across the f**king planet, making ignorant jokes about blowing ourselves up, thinking it\u2019s gonna go without consequence, you\u2019re gonna learn very quickly my friend that was a mistake.\u201d This was then met, very swiftly, with an apology from Geordie, who said it was just an \u201cidiotic joke\u201d at the expense of \u201csomeone who seriously dislikes me.\u201d Due to the gravity of the situation, however, many have not accepted the apology, and Gymshark appears to have placed itself in that group. They put out a short statement the following day, saying the following: \u201cWe do not agree with the comments made by Brian, AKA True Geordie, and have suspended our relationship with him indefinitely, effective immediately.\u201d Geordie himself has not yet responded or spoken out again publicly since the apology. It\u2019s highly possible Gymshark isn\u2019t the last brand to revoke its relationship with him, but time will tell whether this goes further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
