Sure, my dude, but you were the one that posted thishttps://t.co/c3RN5dxcd0
You were the one that said "hey my company is okay being linked to this guy."
Very few are gonna care about your personal life, but you linked that personal friendship to your professional team.

There's no way you didn't predict this reaction.
You posted a video partying with a known misogynist who calls women property. It's misguided at best and engagement bait most likely.
This is fucking low man, party with who you want but expect people to judge you for it.
