STICKER Mule has posted a bizarre video claiming that the company fired the company’s founder after he faced major backlash last month for putting out a statement supporting Donald Trump.
TikTok star Ricky Berwick is now saying he’s replacing Anthony Constantino, the actual CEO of the popular sticker company, in a joke video advertising a new hot sauce.
Berwick, an influencer known for his skits on TikTok and YouTube, is seen arriving at what appears to be Sticker Mule’s headquarters in the video, which was posted to the company’s official social media accounts on Tuesday.
“Hey Rick, Sticker Mule just fired their CEO for supporting Trump,” a man told Ricky in the video as the men sit at a conference table surrounded by people appearing to be Sticker Mule employees.
“And they voted you in as the new CEO,” he said, leading Ricky to respond, “Wow, really?!”
“You’re in charge now. What do you want to do first?”
The comedian took a moment to respond before shouting at the camera.
“Name the f**king hot sauce after me!”
The video advertised the hot sauce sale as a note from Berwick on X.
“Our last CEO f’d things up,” the post said.
“I’m fixing them. Introducing white label hot sauce. Go f**king buy it now.”
Constantino shared the video on Stimulus, which is Sticker Mule’s social media platform that utilizes giveaways.
“They fired me. At least I can still run Stimulus,” the co-founder wrote, sharing a link to the video on X.
STICKER FANS SHOCKED
Some fans of the company seem to fully believe the video, which appears to be satiric, and are sharing their shock at the claims of Constantino’s exit from the company.
“You absolutely don’t deserve this Anthony,” one outraged fan wrote on Stimulus.
“Hold your head up high you got better things in store for you. Can’t believe that they wanted to violate your 1st Amendment right of protected free speech.
Sticker Mule's CEO original statement
Sticker Mule Cofounder Anthony Constantino shared a statement showing support for Donald Trump to Instagram after the attempted assassination on the former president.
“Donald Trump was shot,” he said in the statement.
“I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far.
“People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself.
“Americans shouldn’t live in fear.
“I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do.
“Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden.
“The political hate needs to stop.
“Today a bullet almost killed Donald Trump.
“He’s got 5 kids. One’s still a teenager.
“No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office.
“If Donald Trump can risk that, the least the rest of us can do is vocalize our support and help end the hate.
“The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end.
“I’m speaking up today and will do more in the future to stop this insane political hate.
“Awesome people, all over the world, love Trump. Don’t limit your friendships, and diminish your happiness by indulging in political hate.
“Vocalize your support. Stop the hate,” he concluded.
“As much as you’ve done for sticker mule, you’ve made the company what it today.”
“Is this a joke? Did sticker mule really fire their CEO for supporting Trump? This post is at a minimum very unprofessional, if this is legit I will not be doing business with sticker mule anymore,” another slammed.
It’s unclear if Berwick has actually stepped in as Constantino’s replacement, despite his posts.
“I’m the new CEO of @stickermule!” he wrote on X.
‘DISGUSTING AND UNNECESSARY’
While some fans of the company were outraged at the idea that Constantino might have been replaced, others were furious with the new video’s vulgar language.
“I would share if it didn’t say the F word. Now I’m just going to unfollow instead,” one X user ripped.
“Well, you just lost me now,” another wrote.
“Kinda wish I hadn’t placed my last 2 orders. I liked that he stood for representing all voices no matter which political side you stood on and I don’t like the language you felt you needed to include in this post. It’s disgusting and unnecessary.”
BOSS SPEAKS
Last month, Constantino told The U.S. Sun that his message supporting Trump caused people to send death threats to Sticker Mule’s employees – which led him to give a $2,500 bonus to his staffers.
“I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far,” the statement, emailed to customers and posted on Instagram, said in part.
“I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop.”
In the statement originally sent to customers over email, Constantino encouraged buyers to get a shirt supporting Trump – but that piece was edited out of the Instagram post.
The CEO told The U.S. Sun that he was inspired to speak out in support of the former president when Trump was wounded in the shooting on July 13 at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, which left one attendee dead and two critically injured.
“With the sacrifice that he made, I was happy to take the leap to support him,” the cofounder said.
It’s unclear if Constantino still works at Sticker Mule.
