Apple's vice president of procurement, Tony Blevins, has left the company after a TikTok video showed him making jokes about women at a car show.

In the video reviewed by CNBC, Blevins is getting out of an expensive Mercedes Benz and he is asked what he does for a living by Daniel Mac, who has a channel centered around asking people in expensive cars questions.

In the video, Blevins jokes that he buys "rich cars, plays golf, and fondles big-breasted women. But I take weekends and major holidays off." The joke appears to be a reference to a similar quote in the movie "Arthur."

Blevins was a VP at Apple, which is a very senior role that reports to top executives. His main role was to negotiate with suppliers to keep the price Apple pays for computer parts down, according to a Wall Street Journal profile of Blevins from 2020.
