Cameo Cut From ‘Sharknado 3’ Amid Child Porn Scandal

Jul 9, 2015  •  Post A Comment

The latest casualty in a child pornography scandal that broke this week is a cameo in the Syfy TV movie “Sharknado 3: Oh Hell No.” E! Online reports that Syfy has cut the appearance by Subway spokesman Jared Fogle less than two weeks before the movie’s scheduled July 22 premiere.

The move comes after Fogle’s home was raided by the FBI as part of an investigation into child pornography, as we reported previously.

“Fogle was not arrested or charged with any crimes, but the now-former Subway spokesman’s house was searched two months after Russell Thomas, former executive director of the Jared Foundation, was arrested on charges related to child pornography,” E! reports.

The report notes: “Fogle made a memorable cameo in ‘Sharknado 2: The Second One,’ in which he survived the shark storm that descended upon New York City and was seen waiting for the subway.”

Fogle and Subway reportedly mutually agreed to sever their relationship as a result of the scandal.

  1. Will they restore the cameo if no charges are ever brought, or is merely being investigated crime enough for SyFy?

    • I’m sure they could add it to the DVD/BluRay. But it’ll be too late for the theatrical release.
