Pete Evans has been dropped by 15 sponsors and companies after posting a neo-Nazi meme to social media over the weekend. The list includes his publisher Pan Macmillan, bookstore Dymocks, BIG W, Coles, kitchenware company Baccarat, Woolworths, House homewares, Target, Kmart, Booktopia, David Jones and Channel 10's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! Also severing ties are Readings and Gleebooks bookstores, while Natural Raw C coconut water revealed it had ended its agreement with the 47-year-old disgraced chef earlier this year.
Reply: 'Well just when you thought 2020 couldn't get any more bizarre. The mainstream media have come out and labelled me a racist and a neo-Nazi. The fact that I had to actually google what neo-Nazi meant is pretty telling,' he said, laughing
He concluded: 'Anybody who knows me knows I stand for long term sustainable health for all humanity I don't think there is anything more I need to say except peace, love to you all'
The former My Kitchen Rules judge also laughed off his latest scandal outside his farm in northern NSW on Tuesday morning, offering a half-hearted apology to those offended by his racist social media post. Barefoot Evans - whose career has plunged to new depths after being shunned by a string of companies - grinned widely as he told Daily Mail Australia: 'I apologise to anyone who might have taken it out of context.' 'I promise you, whatever anybody is saying, that is not who I am,' Evans insisted, before bursting into a fit of giggles. 'And once again, deepest apologies to anyone who might have taken offence to that comment, or the image that I shared, because it was never meant to be taken in that way,' he added. When asked how he felt about being axed from I'm a Celebrity, Evans once again laughed hysterically, saying: 'Oh! I don't even know what you're talking about!' On Tuesday afternoon, he shared an Instagram video in which he called the allegations against him 'garbage' while cuddling up to one of his horses.
Lies: In July, Evans sparked outrage when he falsely claimed that Covid-19 was a 'f**king hoax' and that the pandemic 'doesn't compare to what is happening in the world on a large scale'
Three months earlier, he was fined $25,000 by the Therapeutic Goods Association for promoting the Biocharger lamp and claiming it could treat 'Wuhan coronavirus'. Evans has also been scrutinised for his dangerous anti-vaccination views in the past. He recently claimed he was not an anti-vaxxer, but was instead 'pro-choice' and 'pro-safe vac' - terms which incorrectly suggest some vaccines are not safe. Anti-vaxxers often spread conspiracy theories with no basis in scientific fact. They claim that 'boosting' the immune system through diet, supplements and sunlight can make people immune to certain diseases, which is completely false. Before vaccination campaigns in the 1960s and '70s, diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria and whooping cough killed thousands of children, whereas today in Australia, dying from one of these infections is extremely rare.
