In a new interview conducted for HeyUguys, Bautista had the following to say when asked if he is concerned that he will lose his job due to comments he has made criticizing Disney for firing Gunn:
“It’s an integrity issue,” said Bautista, h/t to PWInsider.com for the transcription. It’s also a loyalty issue, so now I’m not going to, you know, I’m not gonna bite my tongue for anything, and that’s just who I am as a person. I’ve tried to actually, you know, be very choosy about what I say and the way I say it, I don’t necessarily mean to be disrespectful but at the same time I have to say what’s on my mind and in my heart, and so I’ve just been as honest what I’ve been and that’s just the way I live my life as an honest person. It just is what it is, if its enough to cost me a job and that’s just what happens. You can’t threaten a poor man with poverty. You know I grew up poor. I know what it’s like to be poor. I’m not afraid of losing money. It means nothing to me. I will wrestle in backyards in front of ten people if I have to make a living, so I’m not going to be flexible with my integrity. I’m just going to speak my mind and try not to be disrespectful and that’s why I always say and I make sure that this is directed at certain people like, not Marvel.”
