The California Legislative Women’s Caucus is demanding that Endeavor boss Ari Emanuel fire UFC President Dana White for slapping his wife on New Year’s Eve
.
In a letter sent this week, the state lawmakers chastised Emanuel for not taking any action against White — whose company is owned by Endeavor — or calling out his alleged behavior. “Your continued silence speaks volumes. As you once wrote: ‘Silence and inaction are not an option.’ We agree — and we are urging you to take immediate action. Like you, we are people who live by our values,” wrote state Sen. Nancy Skinner and Assemblymember Cecilia Aguiar-Curry , the chair and vice chair, respectively, of the caucus.Beverly Hills-based Endeavor — which also owns the WME talent agency — acquired a majority stake in the mixed martial arts company UFC, in 2016.
According to TMZ, White said he had been drinking and told the entertainment gossip site, “You’ve heard me say for years, ‘There’s never ever an excuse for a guy to put his hands on a woman,’ and now here I am on TMZ talking about it.”, saying, “One thing I do want to clarify in this thing that I didn’t talk about on TMZ, because I didn’t expect it or I didn’t see it coming, is the people that are defending me. There’s never an excuse.
