During the WDRB News interview, Schnatter said his ousting was a “farce,” while slamming the chains’ new leadership.
Steve Ritchie replaced him as CEO, and Papa John’s board members Olivia Kirtley and Mark Shapiro. Schnatter said that Kirtley and Shapiro “should be in jail.”
“They stole the company, and now they’ve destroyed the company,” Schnatter said.
Schnatter told WDRB News that he believes the truth about his termination has yet to emerge, reports BI.
