CEO accused of choking man on cruise ship over barefoot dancing incident - National | Globalnews.ca
The complaint alleges that the victim was dancing barefoot on the dance floor at the ship's bar when Kenneth DeGiorgio's wife asked him to put his shoes on.
A California CEO is facing a federal assault charge after surveillance footage shows him choking a man for dancing barefoot on a Virgin Voyages cruise ship.
The incident took place on March 31 in international waters on the Resilient Lady cruise ship, according to a federal criminal complaint filed on April 1.
Authorities allege that Kenneth DeGiorgio, the CEO of First American Financial Corp., assaulted a man, identified as M.A. in the complaint, at the On The Rocks bar aboard the ship. The security supervisor reviewed video footage and “determined DeGiorgio was the male shown on the surveillance footage choking the victim,” according to the complaint.
CEO is facing a federal assault charge
Pardon incoming in 3...2...
Are they going to charge the dancer with terrorism too?
They are debating the the death penalty.
Title loan insurance company CEO. So not surprising
He must’ve flipped my wife 8 times!
So its not because of him being barefoot but because he called his wife a fucking bitch. Not that its ok. But context matters.
Edit: in general please dont call women bitches, thats derogatory and misogynistic.
She was literally bitching about the man not wearing shoes. That's how you would get called that. If her husband was unhappy he had only to talk to his wife about her behavior.
Is karen better? She was being a bitch, not calling her out on it is derogatory and misogynistic. No one needs a white knight.
thats derogatory
Despite whether it was called for or not, being derogatory is the point.
and misogynistic.
No, it's not.
For example, my mother is a gambling-addicted, mean-spirited, unapologetic, narcissistic bitch. My brother, my cousins, and I have receipts to prove it.
For what she put my family and I through, I will call her a bitch to her face at every opportunity, until her death. To denigrate her. Because she deserves it.
She is the equivalent of the definition of a bitch, a female dog. In fact, she's worse because female dogs, in my experience, have been orders of magnitude more loyal, agreeable, and loving.
Do I hate all women? Does equating a woman to a female dog reveal an irrational contempt of every woman?
Absolutely not, and my wife, niece, cousins, and female friends would all agree. People who make claims like yours attempt to infantilize and absolve women of ridicule or accountability in some weird effort to appear to want to "protect" them, and, ironically, are being sexist towards women!
Women are just people; some are wonderful and some are awful, and some are stupid bitches, from the goddess Laxmi right down to my abusive bitch of a mother; let's not forget one of the worst bitches of all time, "The Bitch of Buchenwald".
Your banal and platitudinous political correctness on the internet will never change that.

I love this sentiment. Wish i saw it more.
Okay but if you tell someone’s person to “shut up you fucking bitch” and you get your shit handed to you, maybe you should learn a fucking lesson.
Where can I get fucking lessons? I'm sick of this virgin cruise.
He told the CEO guy's wife "shut up you fucking bitch" when she suggested he put shoes on. Then the CEO guy grabbed his throat. I can understand losing control in that situation.
Just what a troglodyte would say
aw man, so mean.
What does the fact that the accused is a CEO add to the story?
Because many wealthy individuals, including this one, think they are above the law and can do whatever they want. So mentioning them being a CEO adds to the stereotype.
To me it seems more like it's there because it's supposed to be surprising. As if you'd expect such behaviour from others, but not from a CEO. Which is complete bullshit.
Because we need to know who to hate in this story.
