In May 2021 Gondoh had entered into an altercation with a homeless woman where Gondoh was called a racial epithet, in response Gondoh filmed himself kicking over her cup of change and throwing water in her face.[31][32]
Gondoh and his teammates have since received racist messages, some containing death threats. Wealdstone FC stated that "We are fully supporting Ryan and everyone else at the club who has been abused" and are refusing to comment further on the matter.[33]
