Apple VP of Procurement Tony Blevins has reportedly been asked to leave the tech giant after making a vulgar remark in a popular TikTok video.
According to AppleInsider, TikTok and Instagram creator Daniel Mac approached Blevins for a series where he asks owners of expensive cars about their jobs. Mac stopped the executive as he parked the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, a car that can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
A video posted on September 5 shows Blevins answering a question about what he does for a living. “I have rich cars, I play golf and caress women with big breasts, but I take days off and major holidays,” he said.
Blevins also mentioned his “hell dental plan,” which he is expected to lose.
The video received more than 40,000 likes on Instagram and 1.3 million views on TikTok. Some employees of Apple’s operations and procurement departments, which Blevins oversees as a vice president, discovered the clip.

Employees informed Apple’s human resources department about the TikTok video, and that department immediately began an investigation. Additionally, the video was shared with Apple employees and some of its key suppliers.
Jeff Williams, the company’s chief operating officer, was Blevins’ boss for most of the executive’s 22-year tenure at the company. Williams has reportedly made the decision that Blevins needs to go and is stepping into his duties.
