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, said 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. — Kelli (@kelliwin) May 29, 2018

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 — syd is the #1 ootw stan (@polaroidofus928) May 26, 2018

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. — 🎃Whitney🎃 🏳️‍🌈 (@louisswifties) May 29, 2018

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 — RahulB📸 & Camila💃🏻 Stan! (@MilasFunsuckers) May 26, 2018

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