A Tennessee CEO was fired after he was accused of harassing a teenage boy for wearing a dress to his prom.
Former VisuWell executive Sam Johnson, 46, was filmed telling the boy he looked like an 'idiot' at the prom near Nashville on Saturday.
He has denied the allegations, despite being caught on camera making the remarks.
The boy, Dalton Stevens, 18, told NBC News he wore the dress as a statement to prove that 'clothing is really gender-less' and 'that it has no meaning', in an interview on Monday.
The Franklin high school senior told the broadcaster he was harassed by Johnson while taking pictures with his boyfriend Jacob Geittmann, who later posted the exchange on TikTok.
'I explained [why I was wearing the dress] to him and he continued to just call me names and just follow me', Stevens explained.
He said the young couple first noticed Johnson making 'homophobic' comments within the pairs earshot while they were taking pictures at the Harpeth Hotel in downtown Franklin.
The telemedicine CEO then approached Stevens and Geittmann and questioned why the 18-year-old had chosen to wear a dress.
Johnson later allegedly told Stevens 'you have hair on your chest, you shouldn't be wearing a dress'.
Geittmann then took out his phone and started filming the exchange, during which Johnson said he thought the 18-year-old senior looked 'disgusting'.
In the footage, a clearly distressed Stevens can he heard telling Johnson: 'I chose what I want to wear so you can f*** off'.
While Geittmann is filming, Johnson apparently tries to knock the phone out of his hand, but ends up hitting Stevens.
Onlookers attempt to intervene, pleading with Johnson to stop, saying: 'It's just prom. It's kids, it's a bunch of kids. Come on, dude.'

I guess this CEO wsan’t on that conference call last week.
Wait a minute!
They held a prom?!?
But, but... COVID!!!
I bet if one of his staff had done the same thing to a kid wearing a dress, the CEO would have made a big spectacle of firing him
i agree with the man, but he should have shut up.
I would have steered clear of the homo in a dress. He might have gotten a thumbs up and a smirk though.
It used to be the school bullies would take care of that business. I swear, kids these days can’t do anything for themselves. And they should stay off of my lawn, too.
The Tolerant crowd doesn’t like it when you don’t see things their way.
Just kidding, Jesus! Just making merry. Havin' a little fun.
I long for the days when freaks knew they were freaks and avoided polite society. I never cared what they did on their own time but please leave me out of your weirdness.
What about a bikini?
White-hot! After admitting her insecurities about wearing a bathing suit, Caitlyn Jenner conquered her fear and rocked a sexy one-piece on the Aug. 9 episode of her E! reality series, I Am Cait.
For her swimsuit debut, Jenner opted for a white, one-shouldered monokini with intricate ties at the back. The former Olympian, 65, kept her hair in her blown-out, straight style and topped off the entire beachy look with a lace sarong and golden hoop earrings. ..."

The reality is that the homosexual lifestyle is very unhealthy and ought to come with significant warnings.
This CEO is a hero. Watch some timorous wimps on FR say he should have stayed silent. You cowards. Stay away from us because we know you will eventually snitch on conservatives.
Don’t give Him any ideas!
It appears the issue wasn’t he was trans, but gay. Why a CEO would spend any time or energy on such an individual is beyond me.
I didn’t go to my formal prom many years as I thought it was rather a stupid event. They have gotten much more stupid as time has gone on. If normal people don’t go, it will end the freak show.
“A woman shall not wear a man’s clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman’s clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
How did we get to this point ? We got to this point because there was no pushback. Little by little social perversion was pushed upon us and under threat of being called intolerant bigots, we sat back and watched it happen.
But what about Klinger in MASH.
He did have good fashion sense.
In my Italian American New York neighborhood, any guy who did something disagreeable was a “faggot.”
Oddly, we never saw a real faggot.
Back in my day (50’s) my buds would have dragged me out into the alley and used me for a lawn dart.
