The former CEO of Papa John’s Pizza John Schnatter is under fire after denying allegations of racism and boasting about the 20 months he spent removing the N-word from his vocabulary.
Schnatter appeared in an interview on One America News Network where he denied allegations of racism, which he accused members of the Papa John’s Pizza board of creating.
Schnatter claimed he was left in a “state of shock” after seeing headlines smearing his name by board members that decided to “paint the founder as a racist.” Despite the claims, the former CEO denied being racist and insisted he changed his ways.
