Campbell’s Exec Allegedly Called Products ‘Sh*t for Poor People’ in Explosive Recording

A bombshell lawsuit has hit Campbell’s Soup Company after a former employee alleged that a top executive went on a vulgar tirade bashing the company’s food and insulting entire nationalities then fired the whistleblower who recorded it.

Robert Garza, a Michigan-based cybersecurity expert who worked remotely for Campbell’s, filed suit this week alleging he was wrongfully terminated just 20 days after reporting a troubling incident involving the company’s chief information security officer, Martin Bally.

Garza says he captured a 75-minute profanity-laced recording during a salary negotiation meeting last year. What he claims to have documented is not just corporate misconduct it’s contempt for the very people Campbell’s claims to serve.

“We have sht for fcking poor people. Who buys our sh*t? I don’t buy Campbell’s products barely anymore,” Bally allegedly said, according to the recording described in the lawsuit.

That alone would be shocking enough but it gets worse.

• Bally allegedly mocked the company’s ingredients, calling them “bioengineered meat” and comparing Campbell’s chicken to “a 3-D printer.”

• He reportedly said, “It’s not healthy now that I know what the f*ck’s in it,” demonstrating blatant hypocrisy from a man leading cybersecurity at a major food brand.

• The recording also includes racist comments directed at Indian workers, with Bally allegedly saying, “Fcking Indians don’t know a fcking thing. They couldn’t think for their f*cking selves.”

Campbell’s hasn’t confirmed the authenticity of the audio, but they’ve already responded to the lawsuit by placing Bally on leave and releasing a public statement.

“If the comments heard on the audio recording were in fact made by Mr. Bally, they are unacceptable,” the company said. “Such language does not reflect our values and the culture of our company.”

But here’s the real issue Garza claims he reported the incident internally and was then fired less than three weeks later. That’s not a coincidence it’s retaliation.

Campbell’s is now trying to save face, insisting its products are “high quality” and its people are “valued.” But this lawsuit paints a very different picture one where a senior executive openly mocks the food, the consumers, and even his colleagues, and where whistleblowers are punished instead of protected.

This case is a microcosm of corporate elitism: executives laughing behind closed doors while marketing canned soup as comfort food to hardworking Americans. Then, when someone has the courage to speak up, they’re tossed aside.

Garza says he took time to process what happened before going public. Now, with the lawsuit filed, the mask is off.

Americans deserve to know if a company they’ve trusted for generations truly respects the people who buy its products or if that trust is being quietly ridiculed at the highest levels.
