A petition accuses Crazy Legs of sending lewd photos to young women.
After the official announcement that breaking would become an Olympic sport in the 2024 Paris Games, Richard “Crazy Legs” Colon of the world-famous Rock Steady Crew expressed his desire to be included in the Games. On Tuesday, however, youth in the breaking community launched a petition that could jeopardize that. The petition, started by an anonymous BBoy and BGirl, alleges Colon of ongoing and unchecked sexual harassment.
“Founder of Rock Steady Crew Richard Colón (a.k.a. Crazy Legs) has been using his power of influence to sexually harass women,” the petition reads. “Not only so, this behavior has gone on for a long time without being checked. He has failed to take accountability for his actions, and the Bboy/Bgirl community needs to take action! This man should not be involved with Red Bull or Olympics, as he is a proven sexual predator.”
Colon replied to the accusations on Instagram, saying he blames his depression and a general lack of accountability.
