ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (WLUK) – A woman working at the Cinnabon stand in Bay Park Square has been fired after an online video showed her calling customers a racial slur and telling them that she is racist.
A post on X with the video says a couple from Somalia walked up to the Cinnabon counter to buy food and the employee started making fun of the woman’s hijab. The post says the couple started recording the interaction with their phone. Then the employee called them the N-word and called herself a racist. The couple called the employee an idiot, a motherf—– and said the employee was ruining her life and would be fired. The employee continued with more derogatory comments directed at the couple and gave them two middle fingers.
The company issued a statement to FOX 11 on Saturday morning.
“We are aware of the deeply troubling video involving a former employee at the independently owned and operated Cinnabon bakery in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin,” the Cinnabon statement said. “The individual seen in the video was immediately terminated by the franchise owner. Their actions and statements are completely unacceptable and in no way reflect the values of Cinnabon, our franchisees, or the welcoming environment we expect for every guest and team member. We take this situation seriously and remain committed to ensuring all guests are treated with dignity, respect, and kindness every time they visit one of our bakeries.”
FOX 11 is working to contact the couple who recorded the video.
The video, which is not dated, is circulating after President Donald Trump made comments about the Somali community.
“The Somalians should be out of here. They’ve destroyed our country and all they do is complain, complain, complain,” Trump said.
