Him and Deshaun Watson would make one hell of a tag team.

Could this make Endeavor force Venum to replace him? Or will it require a internal investigation of some sort first?

According to reports, 21 current and former employees of Venum have levied some serious accusations against their boss. Apparently all of these employees have a variety of tales to tell about Franck, ranging from vaguely sexist behaviors to outright racist accusations.

Two employees say that Dupuis made it clear that he wanted to change his demographic by having women that were referred to as “bimbos” sporting the gear. On top of that, he supposedly attempted to do what he could to prevent lower class people from being able to afford their gear.

”Frank Dupuis told me that he didn’t like Arabs,” says Paul, a former white employee who sold MMA shorts with military or fluorescent prints for two and a half years.

The allegations go on to say that when Venum was discussing a gym, Dupuis brought up the discussion of entrance fees. According to the employees, he wanted to make these fees so high that groups of people he deemed unsavory could not attend.

In addition to that, further accusations say that Franck passed by four black employees and a North African employee having lunch. He reportedly remarked that “It smells like Africa here.”

i'm not saying he isn't a racist misogynistic piece of shit, but if a dude from Africa is eating lunch it might very well smell like Africa.
very distinct spice profile in that food, he could just be a foodie.

it's like kimchee: if you get the good stuff, you smell it in your sweat for a couple days

 

[Filthy]

it's tough because the fact that he's French means he's equally likely to be elitist, racist, misogynistic, or foodie.

Lmao at this comment especially.

"he adamantly denies any of the wrongdoing that it is being suggested he is responsible for, citing the donations he send to Africa, along with his mother’s Algerian decent as proof that he is not of a racist mindset."

He'll probably mount a defensive position based on going all in on Aldo and other Brazilian fighters. Their mits and bag gloves suck anyways, off with his head.
