New Video Emerges as Donations for Fired Cinnabon Worker Top $270,000

The fired employee is posting defiant videos denying racism.

Overview

  • TMZ released additional footage, reported by the New York Daily News, showing the worker accusing the Somali customer of disguising her identity before again using a racial slur.
  • Cinnabon says the independently owned Ashwaubenon franchise immediately terminated the employee and reiterates that the behavior does not reflect the company’s values.
  • A GiveSendGo campaign supporting the former worker has surpassed $270,000, with some donor messages expressing racist sentiments.
  • The worker has posted on TikTok about being “famous on the racial card” and staged mock influencer videos, according to the New York Post.
  • The victim’s relative launched a separate GoFundMe to fund legal representation for the couple, describing the encounter as traumatizing and rooted in harassment over a hijab.
