Martin Shkreli has becom infamous over the past few years for his work in the pharmaceutical industry. Shkreli has a lot of haters out there and he loves to play up his “heel” persona.
Comedian and “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” star recently got into it with Martin in Twitter and the two went back and forth for quite a while.
Captain America himself, Chris Evans commented on the back and forth exchange between Oswalt and Shkrely saying that, “@pattonoswalt owning @MartinShkreli is my favorite thing on Twitter right now.” Shkreli didn’t take kindly to the comments as he responded by telling Evans that he will destroy him. He posted the following on Twitter:
“Comedian gets a pass because wife died but you, @ChrisEvans, I’ll f**king destroy. Pretty boy, shit-for-brains. Think your thoughts matter?”
Shkreli didn’t stop there, as he got more specific telling Evans that he’ll be met with roundhouse kicks if he comes to Brooklyn.
“Come to Brooklyn and I’ll introduce you to the real Captain America and a couple of f**kin roundhouses if you say my name again @ChrisEvans”
Martin Shkreli then did a live stream on Periscope calling Chris Evans a “no name loser” as he lifted weights and told Evans that he’s “f**king dead.”
To be honest Shkreli seems to be playing up a character he’s created on social media, and it appears that he really has some self-esteem issues as he seems to be overcompensating. I tried my best to get through a few minutes of the Periscope stream, but it’s kind of pathetic. If you’re interested, you can listen to him talk trash about Chris Evans via the Periscope stream here.
