he should be fired on the basis of how terrible and unfunny the jokes are alone

[ryanripley 86,575]

not only are these questionable but they're incredibly inappropriate for her audience

the hardcore fans follow the accounts of backup dancers and taylor has a young demographic and some of these are just graphic

[GypsyBabe 22,836]

Wow, what a job to have and then to ruin  

He deserves the firing though. These are very inappropriate. 

[EGOT2027 10,527]

Am I the only one that is shocked she has a straight backup dancer?

[River 95,688]

See ha in court, his Instagram is private and he can post whatever he likes, it's not his job's Instagram.. he did nothing wrong during his job, he didn't dance bad, was late or whatever.. this firing is illegal..

And he's a douchebag.

[Pop Music 20,522]

Well done tay. We stan a queen that doesn't take sexism lightly 

[Quartz 11,923]

Oh god I don't know how you deliver those jokes to be funny 

[AyaKara 2,272]

The chloroform 'joke' is the worst part.

Not illegal. She is a private business too and she can fire anyone she likes for posting trash like that. Afaik, free speech is protected from government persecution. But only harassment and discrimination (which has been well defined) are protected from private people and businesses. If you made a sexist "joke" and someone fired you, that's not discrimination.

I'm proud of Taylor for doing this. She's a woman herself and it's a terrible thing for him to be saying things like "women belong in the kitchen" when his paycheck comes from a queen who tours the world.

Yeah. That crossed a line from just sexism to gender based sexual assault and normalizing/trivializing it as if it's okay and funny.

I think Google lost a case when they fired an employee that sent a sexist memo with his job's mail..

I'm not saying that what he did is ok, or she did a mistake, she did an amazing brave choice!

But he will sue her.. hopefully she will not lose..

It was probably in his contract to not do something like this. 

She has brand, and if he does anything to tarnish it, she can fire him for it.

I mean, what he did was wrong but I think firing shouldn´t be the first action nor choice. I would have given him a severe warning and make him apologize publicly. If the behavior persists and becomes problematic then I´d fire him.

Not to take away from the seriousness of the matter but I read this as "Taylor Swift fires Sexiest Dancer"
