A hulking American bodybuilder has copped a tidal wave of abuse after he repeatedly face slapped a fan with mental disabilities during a meet-and-greet event.

Rich Piana, a self-confessed steroid user, turned into an ugly schoolyard bully when he confronted a fan who he believed had sabotaged his social media accounts.

Jason Genova, himself a bodybuilding enthusiast, took repeated slaps to the face and head at Europa Games event in Orlando last week.

Genova has a substantial social media following, and as he moves in to meet Piana, the former Mr California calls him out over an "Order 66" – an obscure reference to a Star Wars movie.

The "Order 66" occurs in the 2005 prequel Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith movie, when clones turn against their Jedi commanders and terminate them.

Genova admits delivering an "Order 66" on Piana to his online followers, who then went out and caused havoc on the professional bodybuilder's social media accounts.

Piana, heavily tattooed, bronzed and busting out of a black muscle shirt, is relentless in his badgering of Genova.

The two pose for photographs before Piana demands that Genova make himself available for a slap fight as punishment for the "Order 66".

"I feel like I gotta do something back to you to get back at you," Piana says, offering to "slap him around a little bit on camera".

Piana then unleashes 12 quick left and right open hand slaps, rocking Genova backwards, and clearly leaving him and the crowd unsettled by the exchange.

As footage was later uploaded to Genova's YouTube account, the backlash against Piana began.

Piana later wrote on his ******** page:

"[Jason] admitted he was wrong and said he learned a valuable lesson and is no longer going to order 66 on people. He realizes that our social media is a valuable marketing tool we use for our business and our livelihood. We shook hands and hugged and everything is good."

Genova has since posted instructions to followers on his ******** page to decommission the infamous "order 66".

I don't like any of these morons, but I'm glad this is getting attention.

In the video, Jason Genova was very obviously intimidated by Piana, very reluctantly spoke to him in the first place out of fear, and then was pressured into the 'slapbox' - just look at how scared he is you can tell by his eyes. Then Piana actually hits him hard enough to make audible noises over the crowd din of a convention, and JG is VERY rattled and shaken up after it - with a red face to match. Then Piana continues to press the subject.

Ass hole, I hope he loses clients because of this.

2 minute video of the incident for those unaware/don't follow these guys:

if this gets viral, he can lose a lot more than clients if law enforcement presses the issue.
