Wes Henderson fired as bourbon CEO amid hidden camera investigation
Key Points:
- Wes Henderson, former CEO of TKC Distilling and owner of The Kentucky Castle and True Story Whiskey, was terminated after family members accused him of secretly recording guests and relatives with hidden cameras at his homes and resort.
- The lawsuit, filed in Oldham County, Kentucky, alleges Henderson installed about 15 concealed cameras in various household items and recorded private activities, including minors, without consent.
- The Department of Homeland Security is investigating the hidden recordings, while Henderson denies the allegations and expects the lawsuit to be dismissed, though he is prepared to defend himself if necessary.
- TKC Distilling stated it is not a party to the lawsuit, has appointed Henderson’s son as the new CEO, and plans to conduct an independent investigation into the matter.
- Law enforcement agencies in Florida and Kentucky have not confirmed possession of the evidence, and the exact locations of the recordings and devices remain unclear.
