John Schnatter Wiki – John Schnatter Biography
Papa John’s founder John Schnatter, who resigned from the company in 2018 for using the N-word, has come under fire online for an allegedly insensitive statement about Hurricane Ian. In an interview with OAN, he said the flooding “gives you a little bit of perspective… (on) how devastating this storm is.” He then reflected on the people who faced losses due to the hurricane. “You just can’t imagine how bad this is and my heart goes out to the people of Florida,” Schnatter said.
“Yes, I lost a house, but they lost everything.” The businessman, who has a net worth of $1 billion according to Forbes and owns more than 20 properties, was invited by OAN to talk about the house he lost in Naples. The clip that went viral shows the host saying, “Of course you’re in Utah right now, but we’re rewatching footage of his home in Naples. It looks like it’s completely underwater.” John Schnatter is also seen telling the newscaster that he isn’t worried about himself as he had “the resources and the equipment and the institutional knowledge.”

It’s exhausting,” said another.
Some ridiculed the channel for misspelling ‘hurricane’ on its ticker. One user wrote, “I’m actually part hurricane on my mom’s side,” while another simply said, “Hahaha, HURRICANE. I’m not even a hurricane,” joked a third. After John Schnatter resigned in 2018, Papa John’s released a statement saying he “condemns racism and any insensitive language, no matter the situation or setting.”
