His boss called herself a 'a believer in second chances' but Black women on Twitter are fed up at Chef Way's TikTok rebrand.
Wesley joined the Harris DA’s office in March 2021, but he also has a flourishing career as a food creator on TikTok with over 250,000 followers.Wesley’s old tweets resurfaced after the food influencer posted a recipe for oxtail pasta to Twitter, and those familiar with his previous online persona were quick to call out his rebrand and serve up their own cooking because screenshots are forever.
"If black lives mattered to Sandra Bland, she wouldn't have taken her own life. I'm serious too," he wrote, according to screenshots. Despite the public outrage, the DA’s office expressed confidence in Wesley’s rehabilitation and claimed that he was in ongoing recovery for his issues, including alcoholism, and maintained that he had conducted himself “professionally” since joining the staff.
The fallout of Wesley’s past online activity has resulted in two brand partners ending their deals. The first was appliance maker Anova Culinary, which immediately distanced itself after Twitter users flooded their mentions with calls for them to act.
