Jeremy Buendia goes on a tirade against Generation Iron full of falsehoods.
Former Men’s Physique Olympia champion Jeremy Buendia had some pretty harsh words for Generation Iron in a recent series of Instagram stories posted Monday, June 1st. This comes after our initial report that Buendia was affected by pepper spray during one of the many protests being conducted across the country.
Information was scarce at the time of the news. The information initially reported by Generation Iron stated that Buendia was in fact affected by pepper spray at a nearby protest on Huntington Beach. This was sourced directly from Jeremy Buendia’s Instagram stories which was clearly documented in the published report.
To add, Generation Iron has never claimed Buendia was a “rioter” as he says in the rant below. As you can clearly see on the Huntington Beach Protest, Jeremy interjects and states many of his points to other protesters.
Buendia attempted to clear things up in a video from his Instagram story. In the video, he states he was affected by the pepper spray when trying to protect his friend’s restaurant.
Jeremy Buendia continues to attack Generation Iron making some pretty outlandish claims. Unrelated to the original news story, Buendia claims that he turned down an offer from the Generation Iron Producers to do a documentary on his life.
This is a completely false statement. In fact, Buendia’s management reached out to Generation Iron reps to discuss his interest in making a film to repair the bodybuilder’s image after being accused of domestic abuse. In contrast, Generation Iron reps did in fact reach out to Jeremy to offer an interview on its daily show run by Vlad Yudin. Buendia and his reps offered to instead request that Generation Iron work on a documentary about his life which led to discussions that never materialized per our records of text messages, phone calls and emails on hand.
This isn’t the first time Jeremy Buendia has been accused of lying. In 2019, he was accused of domestic abuse by Hilda Laura Amaral, something he denies to this day. However, there has been a great deal of evidence to suggest otherwise.
While the abuse has never been confirmed in a court of law, the multiple allegations and denials does raise suspicion about Buendia’s character. He went on to sue Kenny KO, Jerdani Kraja, and Chad Nutsch for defamation per a lawsuit obtained by TMZ and many other new outlets.
Youtuber Kenny KO went on to interview the woman who claimed to have dated Jeremy and interestingly enough is not confirmed to be named as a defendant in his lawsuit obtained by several sources.
Generation Iron sat down with the morally bankrupt YouTuber Kenny KO where he discussed his coverage circulating the Jeremy Buendia story.
Since then, companies in the fitness industry have distanced themselves from Buendia in light of the abuse allegations. Steel Supplements CEO Jason Huh shared his statement on severing his relationship with Jeremy Buendia publicly by stating,
“As an organization STEEL Supplements Inc treats allegations of violence of any kind with all due and necessary seriousness. Conduct inconsistent with STEEL policies and standards of behavior are treated with the utmost earnestness and gravity that such allegations demand… As such, upon careful review of the recent allegations and circumstances, STEEL will sever its relationship with Mr. Jeremy Buendia. At such time as further information becomes available through appropriate legal sources, STEEL will take all appropriate actions.”
Jason Huh finishes by saying, “STEEL is committed to positively contributing to humanity and the fitness community on a mental, physical, and emotional level.”
Jeremy Buendia has also been known to take to social media and vent out his anger. He also went viral for attacking Men’s Open bodybuilders – claiming that they disrespected Men’s Physique and he also got into a bitter and nasty verbal battle with the 2016 Arnold Classic Men’s Physique Champion and class act Brandon Hendrickson who went back and forth on a text exchange you can read here below.
He has also gone on record apologizing for suffering from severe anger issues. Claiming that it’s something that he knows he needs help with. To add, there have been public petitions against Buendia to raise awareness for domestic violence.
For now, it looks like the pattern is continuing via his latest tirade on social media .
