As far as stories go, this one is pretty shocking! Rich Piana, a very well-known bodybuilder and self-confessed steroid user came across one Jason Genova at a recent show. Jason suffers from autism but has managed to build a pretty decent body.
All is well at the meet and greet until Jason tells Rich that he (Jason) is the one that ordered a 66 on Rich! What is a 66 you ask? Apparently this is an order to attack someone’s social media feeds.
Rich, understandably was upset to hear that this man standing in front of him had caused him countless headaches and possibly damage. Rich also claims that he was in fear as a result of threats and had to carry his guns to his gym and even cancel his wife’s hairdressing appointment.
To make things even, Rich proposes that he is going to “slap” Jason around a little bit and Jason sort of agrees (sort of!). The result is the 2 huge guns of Rich Piana landing a number of slaps/hits to Jason who is visibly shaken.
Following the posting of the video, people are divided. Many say that Jason is annoying and that he goes around shows bugging everyone and harasses people online - bear in mind he is autistic people. Others say that with his limited capabilities, he has done well and he didn’t deserve the treatment by Rich.
Fans of Rich Piana defend him and say that his business had been affected as a result of Jason’s careless actions and that in the light of things, he was fair and did it in a light-hearted way. Rich Piana also says that at the time of this incident he had no idea Jason had a disability.
At the end of it all, they seem to have hugged and things were OK. Like him or not, Rich Piana is a very popular bodybuilder and has created a huge following with a body that is MASSIVE and unusual.
