Survivor contestant fired from his day job after outing transgender competitor
Survivor contestant Jeff Varner’s ugly decision to out competitor Zeke Smith as transgender during Wednesday night’s episode didn’t just get him removed from the reality show, without the other contestants even bothering to vote; it’s also caused him to lose his job back in the “real world.” Variety reports that Varner was fired from his North Carolina real estate agent’s job shortly after the episode—which was filmed last year in Fiji, and which showed him outing Smith in an effort to paint him as “deceptive”—aired earlier this week.
