Secret Audio Emerges About Dave Ramsey 'Double Standards'

Dave Ramsey Studio

Secretly-recorded audio of financial guru Dave Ramsey reveals not only harsh criticism for staffers who have premarital sex or engage in infidelity, but also raises questions of double standards for women in the company.

The audio, secretly recorded by staffers and obtained by News4 Investigates, shows Ramsey’s frustration and anger when it comes to employees who do not live by biblical standards.

“I’m going to check your butt out of here,” Ramsey said, referring to an employee who is not living biblically. “If you don’t like that, this is your cue. Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.”

Ramsey, aside from being known for tough talk about finance, also routinely preaches about his Christian faith.

In one part of his speech to staff, he recalls his frustration in praying to God about the criticism he’s faced.

“I’m so tired of being falsely accused of being a jerk when all I’m trying to do is help people stay in line,” Ramsey said in the recording.

Ramsey openly dictates that employees must follow biblical principles, especially that they are not allowed to have pre-marital sex.

In one speech, he mocks an employee who might have problems following the company’s stance.

“I didn’t agree with the righteous living core value. Well, why did you come, stupid?” Ramsey said in the recording.

In the recordings, Ramsey makes it clear if an employee does have pre-marital sex, it’s grounds for termination.

“I will write the checks to the attorney to protect what we built here,” Ramsey said.
