“At the end of the day, it's difficult to disentangle your life…from people who own businesses that you patronize because you don't like their politics,” LA Times editorial board member Carla Hall says about Equinox investor Stephen Ross' Trump fundraiser
New York Equinox is further distancing itself from Stephen Ross, an investor in the luxury gym chain who sparked backlash from some members after hosting a fundraiser for President Donald Trump.
Harvey Spevak, the company's executive chairman, sent a lengthy open letter Thursday morning apologizing for the"impact it has had on our community." He called the past week a"difficult time" and addressed Ross' role in the company. Equinox told CNN Business the letter went to all of its members. Who is the billionaire Equinox owner taking heat for backing Trump?"Mr. Ross is not the majority investor in Equinox," wrote Spevak, who joined the company in 1999.
