I’ve had direct experience with him and his mother about 15 or so years ago as he was up-and-coming. He was (at the time) a high-status flier for an airline I worked for that was later bought by Continental. I worked for the reservations office in Detroit that handled elite fliers at the time.

I’m just (not at all) stunned that Shaun White is a complete douchebag
