John Schnatter. oh boy, there's a lot...he's been accused of spying on workers, stalking, and sexual harassment (which resulted in at least two confidential settlements). he also blamed NFL players kneeling during the national anthem (to protest police brutality) for negative effects on pizza sales, and used the n word during a conference call. for a while Papa John's was hailed as "the official pizza of the alt-right"...anyway, Schnatter stepped down as CEO in 2018, and is no longer associated with Papa John's.
