Ryan Caldwell issued a statement saying he "deeply regrets" the incident that happened on Sunday, Jan. 12, and is paying the price.

"What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable," Caldwell said. "In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller."

Caldwell went on to apologize to Keller, his wife, friends, former employer, the NFL teams and their fans.

Then, he said, "there are two sides to every story. The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation. I will live with this experience, and I am certainly paying a personal price. For those who don’t know me, this incident does not reflect my values or the respect I have for others and is not indicative of the person I am.”

The video, which was posted by the fan's fiancee, Alexander Basara, had amassed more than 28 million views as of Tuesday night.

BCT Partners, the East Brunswick, NJ-based company issued a statement on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday night, Jan. 14, confirming the decision to terminate Caldwell after completing an internal investigation.

“We, the management of BCT Partners, have concluded the internal personnel investigation regarding an employee who was caught on a video outside of the workplace making highly offensive and misogynistic statements,” the statement read. “In keeping with our company values, which are firmly centered on respect, dignity, and inclusion, we have decided to part company with the employee. This separation is effective immediately.”

BCT Partners strongly condemned the behavior, describing the individual’s language and actions as “vile, disgusting, unacceptable, and horrific.” The company emphasized that such conduct is contrary to their core values and has no place in the workplace or society.

“At the same time, to be true to our values, we can condemn the actions without condemning the individual,” the statement continued. “None of us deserve to be remembered for actions taken on our worst day. We have offered grace and support to our former employee. We hope that he will grow, and we all can learn from this deeply disturbing incident.”

The company also apologized to the victim and others impacted by the incident, reaffirming their commitment to gender equity and fostering a culture of respect and dignity.
