Gravity doesn't disappear because an object stops rotating. In fact, people would actually weigh a bit more because of the lack of centripetal acceleration. At least he is right that it would break some rules -- spinning in the opposite direction doesn't magically turn time around. Yeah, too bad that isn’t really accurate either.
