The Yuengling truck driver who attacked photographer Brad Walsh has been sacked. From Mr. W's blog: Regarding the incident from last week, I have been contacted by the distributor that Yuengling contracted to deliver their product. After the distributor was notified of the incident (albeit nearly a week after the incident occurred and was reported to Yuengling, and merely a matter of hours after the story was reported by several news sources) they called the driver and his union in to discuss. I have been told that the driver was terminated. Yuengling also released a statement again reiterating that the driver worked for an independent distributor and insisted the attack was "against all principles Yuengling holds true." Walsh is super thankful for everyone who spoke up for him. He would shed tears of gratitude, but he lost his tear ducts in a freak accident. It was very sad. |

The Brooklyn-based homo went on an adventure in SoHo last week when an irate trucker decided to lay the anti-gay smack down. Walsh, who dates Project Runway's Christian Siriano, summarizes: I was crossing Spring Street completely legally at the intersection of 6th Avenue. A delivery truck driven by a guy on a cell phone was turning and almost hit me and another guy. Me and the other guy put our hands up like "what are you doing," but we didn't say or mouth anything to the driver. The driver (jacked) got out, followed me down the street (not the other guy), called me a "faggot" several times, punched me really hard in the jaw, knocked my stuff onto the sidewalk, and went back to his truck. Down but definitely not out, Walsh wrote down the truck's info and advertised company: Yuengling, the popular beer company based out of Philadelphia. |
