The internet is in a frenzy over whether to ditch their Crocs due to a viral rumor. Allegedly, the brand바카라s CEO, Andrew Rees, was caught on camera using the N-word with a hard -er at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The supposed footage sparked outrage online, with many customers contemplating boycotting the brand, despite the lack of concrete evidence.

Did it actually happen? One cannot say for sure, since there's no readily available video proof online. People also believe that the alleged footage was removed from the internet.

In a TikTok with 1.4 million views and more than 3,000 comments, @diddydidittt discusses the allegations and speculates that someone "scrubbed" the video. In a follow-up, @diddydidittt mentions that while they don바카라t have access to the supposed video, they heard about the allegations from another creator바카라s response TikTok.

@diddydidittt isn바카라t alone in accepting the internet's word on the allegations. In another viral video, creator Montay (@adhdmontay) asks viewers for their opinion on the situation and says they will burn their Crocs over the alleged racism if necessary.

Interestingly, the photo Montay uses as a background appears to be a screenshot from the supposed video of Rees at the airport. The screenshot shows a man at an airport speaking rudely to workers, but he does not use the N-word in the clip, and some commenters claim the man is not Andrew Rees.

Montay also includes the caption "video at the end," suggesting the purported footage of Rees is included. However, Montay later claims they cannot include the footage in their TikTok due to its "explicit" nature.

He also claims viewers can search for the video on X and TikTok, but users have reported no success in finding it.

Commenters on @diddydidittt바카라s post express a range of emotions, from disappointment and confusion to skepticism about the allegation.
