Son of a Gun

Will Hayden always rubbed me the wrong way. Apparently I wasn't the only one.

I always thought American Guns was the far superior show.

[Don Ro]

Agree. He always struck me as abrasive and confrontive. A nuance of bullying, as well.
Never liked watching his show for that reason.

[porsche4life]

Wasn't he one of those self righteous pricks that was always preaching family values?

Loser, hope he gets f'ed to death in the general pop.

[widgeon13]

It was his daughter.

[sammyg2]

He deserves very bad things to happen to him.

No, but nice try.

[Don Ro]

Didn't he have an older daughter running his front office?
Think she was bumpin' one of the techs.

Key word... "Allegedly". Let's hope they get to the truth and damn him if it's legit.

[stealthn]

Let's not judge before the truth comes out, he is an ass hopefully not an sick pedophile , but the channel sure dropped the show like a hot potato

In addition to raping children, it seems that Hayden was also misusing company money and having licensees write checks directly to him...

‘Sons of Guns’ star Will Hayden ordered to pay ex partners for secret business dealings | Fox News

Trouble just keeps mounting for former “Sons of Guns” star Will Hayden.

The former Discovery Channel star and ex-Red Jacket Firearms owner, who last week plead guilty to multiple rape charges in Louisiana, has been ordered by a Baton Rouge state judge to pay more than $130,000 in penalties and damages to his former business partners for secret business dealings using the company’s brand.

“I can’t think why he thought he would get away with all this,” Red Jacket Licensing CEO Joe Meaux, who filed the victorious breach of contract lawsuit along with the other partners against Hayden, told FOX411, “unless he’s a psychopathic megalomaniac.”

According to court documents obtained by FOX411, Hayden secretly entered into a trademark licensing contract with a San Antonio, Texas car dealership to sell 21 Special Edition Jeep Wrangler Rubicons, sporting the Red Jacket Firearm banner logo, water jet hard steel shield badges and stickers. The documents state that on or around Aug. 31, 2014 – not long after Hayden’s arrest – Red Jacket Licensing received, by mail, a check made payable to Hayden individually in the amount of $5,000.

“I recognized the mail as someone we had done dealings with before, as we’d authorized two Special Edition RJF Jeeps to be made – one for charity and the other for the show. I thought it was strange as I wasn’t aware of any further licensing agreements,” Meaux explained, adding that Hayden’s sister came into the store soon thereafter requesting an “important package” that was being mailed to Hayden.

Another royalty check for Hayden allegedly arrived at the shop on Oct. 2, 2014 from the same dealership, this time for $3,000. Meaux said that the dealership acted in good faith, believing the pact had been inked with knowledge of all partners.

Meaux also said that in the process of compiling the civil lawsuit late last year, they discovered that Hayden “wrongfully used” Red Jacket Licensing’s charge account to acquire more than $25,000 in inventory for Red Jacket Muzzleloading, which was a company owned only by Hayden.

We’re told Stephanie Ford, his oldest daughter and co-star, too was unaware of her father’s apparent side dealings.

Hayden’s attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and he does not appear to have filed an appeal.

The former reality star has been fast tumbling from grace in recent months, beginning in August when he was charged with raping two adolescent girls, coupled with accusations of sexual abuse Ford. Discovery Channel quickly pulled the plug on the popular gun manufacturing show and Red Jacket Firearms severed all ties.

A source connected to the show said that Hayden is said to be struggling in prison, gaining weight and depressed.

Meaux and the existing team are not in any way involved in the criminal charges against their former counterpart. But despite the piling troubles, Meaux is determined to keep the Red Jacket name and continue building the business as a leader in the firearms industry.

“So far it is not negatively affecting me to keep the name, so it makes no sense to change it,” Meaux added. “We’re up and running, using our knowledge to create even better products.”

So sad; who will speak up for those who are depressed and have low self-esteem in the prison population?

[legion]

I only hope that he can experience some of what he has inflicted.

There was something 'off' about that guy. Never liked him.

+1, He seemed greasy as hell to me, too.

Btw, I'm confused. The article from the link says " who last week pled not guilty to multiple rape charges in Louisiana"...
but Legion's post says "who last week plead guilty to multiple rape charges in Louisiana".


Legion? Do I detect a bit of a social experiment here?

[legion]

No social experiment. I suspect the article was corrected after I copy and pasted.

The rapes occurred about 10 years ago, and yes one was on his daughter. I remember way back before Red Jacket was around Will had his own shooting range across the tracks from where red Jacket Arms was(Named being changed now). I went in once with my oldest son to shoot, and I never went back. His daughter the skank you see on TV as his receptionist) and her husband worked there as well, and recently accused of child abuse. The rest of his crew at Red Jacket were great. Joe Meaux has taken over and is renaming the gun shop. On a side note, they did their filming in an old Gravel pit. As the crow flies its about a mile from the house. Made my damn windows rattle.
He is a very Greasy/Sleazy individual but was like that before the show.

[M.D. Holloway]

Interesting watching his interaction with his daughter and her with him. I don't get the incest thing and I really will never understand how a child once old enough would have anything to do with someone who abused them. Must be a quark in the programming in the brain?

[legion]

It's a survival mechanism. Also, I believe that the crimes that initially got him arrested occurred over the summer.

[MBAtarga]

I don't think the rapes occurred 10 years ago. I recall that they had been occurring for many years as recently as the last 1 or 2 years.
