The viral storm around millionaire businessman Piotr Szczerek intensified after issuing a statement defending its role in the multi-critical event at the 2025 US Open. Szczerek was filmed by snatching a signed hat from the Polish tennis player Kamil Mazakrizer, which was being handed over to a young fan during a live broadcast. This moment expressed global displeasure, in which visually disturbed children became the face of online controversy. In response to backlash, Szczerek reduced the incident. “The recent incident in a tennis match has created an online ruckus inequality. It is all about the famous hat, of course. Yes, I took it. Yes, I did it quickly. But as I have always said, life come first, first service, ”he said in a post Instagram. He further urged critics to extend the case. “I think some people cannot like it, but please, let’s not make a global scam out of the cap. It’s just a hat. If you were sharp, you will have it,” Szcjerek said.

Addressing online misuse directed on him and his company, he also issued a warning. “Regarding online hatred, I remind you that insulting a public person is subject to legal liability. All aggressive comments, condemnation, and analysis of urges will be done for the possibility of taking the case to court.” Polish flooring and landlording firm Dogbruk co-founder and CEO entrepreneur has seen his reputation a serious hit as the clip went viral. Review sites and social media platforms were filled with important positions, while many users called for boycott of their business. Conversely, Majorzak helped himself to reduce stress by detecting a boy named Broke, and gave him a new autograph hat with other memorabilia. The gesture attracted widespread praise, although it raised much less to mold Szhekrek from the ongoing criticism.

What started as an existed moment in flushing meadows has now increased in a prestigious crisis, the possibility of keeping the debate alive with Szcjerek’s comments.
