There were elements of mysogany and arguments he'd been 'cancelled'.

> the Wizard said he liked to tease women by telling them they were devious, and said “they use cunning to get men who are thick”.

> I love women, I forgive them all the time, I’ve never struck one yet. Never strike a woman because they bruise too easily is the first thing, and they’ll tell the neighbours and their friends … and then you’re in big trouble

That doesn't sound like he was canned because they wanted to impress the Saudis.
