The Fallout To manage the "albatross," Adidas sold remaining stock in batches, pledging ~€250M ($270M+) to anti-hate groups like the ADL. It proves the "Speed Gap": social media outrage moves in hours, but supply chains take years to pivot when a partnership turns radioactive. ⚠️🏗️ (2/2)

After weeks of outcry, Adidas ends lucrative partnership with Kanye West over antisemitic remarks Adidas has ended its partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his offensive and antisemitic remarks.

In 2022 Adidas & Gap faced a "brand contagion" crisis after Ye’s antisemitic remarks. Adidas was left with $1.3B in unsold Yeezy inventory, turning a massive asset into a toxic liability overnight & leading to the brand's first annual loss > 30 years. (1/2)

And they don’t really change 🚨.

Leon Black, billionaire Apollo co-founder paid Epstein $158M for "tax advice." But per the suit it was part of a hand-off. A “cheerleading coach" Elizabeth groomed the victim at the age of 15 via a cheer camp, eventually flying her to NYC where she was trafficked to Black - the "ogre" in her diary.

Epstein docs reveal a haunting diary from a victim with mosaic Down syndrome & autism, trafficked at 16. In coded entries she describes being a "human incubator," forced abortions & violent abuse by Leon Black. A horrific look at the predation of the vulnerable.

#Stalkers & #predators in this day & age unfortunately are not as easy to spot.
