Before turning his Instagram account to private, Toshi made jokes about women's place being in "the kitchen," as well as a series of "jokes" about sexual assault.
"She has considered him one of her closest friends on the road after recruiting him for her 1989 tour back in 2014," a source told Daily Mail. "But she simply cannot endorse this behavior and to do so would be setting a bad example to her fans."
Meanwhile, Taylor's fans are furious about Toshi's behavior:
Can you even fathom @taylorswift13 hiring you AND giving you $50k for your sick nephew and then disrespecting women and sexual assualt as if pouring salt in her wounds? Like yikes Toshi. You did something bad.

As a fucking survivor, I am LIVID that Toshi would ever post something about any kind of assault, jokingly. It’s not a fucking joke. My fucking life being god damn ruined is not a fucking joke. 4 years later, I still fucking struggle. I’m disappointed. @taylorswift13

Wow just read about Toshi. Since @taylorswift13 is the nicest person on Earth, I’m sure she’s upset it came to this. It goes to show how important it is for her to be a good role model for her fans.

Toshi, a dancer, from @taylorswift13’s tour posted these disgusting memes on his story on Instagram. s I am writing you this, not as a Swiftie, but a woman, to tell you that these posts you make are not even remotely funny. @taylornation13 @scottborchetta #ToshI pic.twitter.com/vW3rs7Jt07

So disappointed in @taylorswift13's dancer, Toshi. RAPE jokes are never cool or funny. Misogyny isn't entertaining either. Really wish he'd just delete instead of defending it. I don't think Taylor or @scottborchetta would be impressed. cc: @taylornation13 pic.twitter.com/VfPIbRof2V

Toshi has previously made headlines for setting up a Go Fund Me page for his sick nephew, which Taylor donated $50k towards.
