Update: Buffalo Wild Wings Employees Fired Over Rancidly Racist Seating Incident

Buffalo Wild Wings Employees Fired Two employees who participated in the racist moving of black patrons at a Buffalo Wild Wings have been fired. As previously reported a Naperville, Illinois Buffalo Wild Wings made national headlines after a group of patrons decided to leave after being asked to move tables because a regular customer “didn’t want blacks sitting nearby.” During the rancidly racist incident the host at the restaurant who was described as a young black man — asked, “What race are you?” to the group before noting that one of the restaurant’s regular customers seated nearby “doesn’t want black people sitting near him.” When the party refused to move to accommodate the bigoted chicken wing chomper, a phony “reservation” excuse was used by a manager to try to prompt the party to switch seats. That incident has left those two employees without jobs. The Naperville Sun reports that Buffalo Wild Wings spokesperson Clarie Kudlata in an email late Sunday said the company conducted a thorough, internal investigation and “terminated the employees involved.” She said a service manager and shift manager were fired. “Buffalo Wild Wings values an inclusive environment and has zero tolerance for discrimination of any kind,” Kudlata said. Reportedly several employees quit as well in connection with the incident. You never win when you play dirty, BWW better hope the family doesn’t decide to sue for discrimination.

Kandi Reveals Her Surrogate Was Pregnant With Twins, Miscarried One

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Kandi Reveals Her Surrogate Miscarried One Of Her Babies During the RHOA premiere , Kandi revealed some sad news. As previously reported the housewife and Todd Tucker are expecting a baby girl via surrogate. According to Kandi herself, however, the surrogate she and husband Todd are using was initially pregnant with twins, but one of the embryos was lost. “We actually was supposed to be having twins, and then one of them didn’t continue,” Burruss explained, adding, “I was sad at first, but then I just had to be grateful that the one made it.” Sad news, the twin would’ve made Kandi a mother of five. Kandi and Todd already share 3-year-old son Ace, and Kandi is mom to 16-year-old daughter Riley and stepmom to Todd’s daughter Kaela, 22, from past relationships. Kandi also shared that it’s a bit strange to not go through the pregnancy milestones that her surrogate Shadina is experiencing. “I just feel like this whole situation is strange,” she confessed. “I don’t get to be excited about the first kick. I don’t get to be excited about, ‘Oh now my baby bump is showing.’ I don’t get to be excited even about my boobs filling up with milk.” During the show, Kandi’s son Ace seemed befuddled by the surrogate pregnancy and asked his parents if the woman “picked up his little sister from the store.” View this post on Instagram Pizza Friday’s in my (@kingjames Voice) just me and my best friend! A post shared by Todd Tucker (@todd167) on Nov 1, 2019 at 3:39pm PDT We wish Kandi all the best on her growing family, we hear her surrogate is due this month! What do YOU think about Kandi’s surrogate baby news? We’ll for sure see more during this season of RHOA.

John Cena Opens Up About How He Handled The “Haircut” Jokes | Extra Butter

Read more here:

John Cena’s family comedy Playing With Fire hits theaters this weekend. The movie is funny and filled with a lot of slapstick comedy your children will love. The film starts off by showcasing a straight-laced fire superintendent named Jake “Supe” Carson and his elite team of firefighters fighting a blaze and perfectly saving the day. Once the group of Smoke Jumpers are back at the base they watch a news report of Commander Richards played by 24 star Dennis Haysbert basking in their glory and saying he will be looking to name a successor to take his place. This news gets ‘Supe’ excited as his firefighting brothers tell him he’s a shoo-in for that promotion. This has been Supe’s life long dream, but that’s when things start to fall apart as half of his team quits, right before a fire breaks out in the middle of the forest. The remaining crew takes this time to prove their worth by going out and putting out the fire by themselves. During this firefight, they end up saving a group of children whose parents are away for the weekend forcing these kids to have to stay at the fire department, but that’ when the hijinks begin. I thought this film was straight fire and laugh out loud funny. It’s ridiculous for sure and John Cena knows it telling me, during our interview on this episode of Extra Butter with Xilla Valentine, that he appreciated my favorable review, “but I would be ignorant to think that were wouldn’t be an antagonist opinion to this movie.” John has faced a lot of criticism from this film already because while filming Playing With Fire he went back to the job that made him famous, Professional Wrestling for a match with The Undertaker and got ripped a new one for having a “stupid haircut.” John opens up about how he handled that experience, “I think step one is being comfortable in your own skin,” adding. “Give all you have, know who you are and honestly evaluate the criticism.” Solid advice. John also revealed how he handled someone saying his hair looks FN stupid. Check out the full interview above and keep checking back for GlobalGrind for more exclusive Hollywood interviews.

Kanye West Not Responsible For $55 Struggle “Brunchella” Breakfast Plates, Allegedly

Read this article:

Source: James Devaney / Getty Over the weekend, Kanye West was getting dragged on Twitter when a photo surfaced of a struggle $55 breakfast plate from Brunchella he attended. The initial belief was that Ye was responsible for the meal, but TMZ reports that is not the case at all. Kanye West and his choir performed at the annual Brunchella fundraising event held at Bethany Church, located in Baton Rouge on Friday. Guests who attended were charged $55 per plate, and one attendee shared to the world his Fyre Fest-inspired meal, which consisted of sausage, pancakes, and two pieces of struggle bacon. West immediately caught all the flack on Twitter for the plate, but TMZ exclusively reports that it was the catering company’s fault, not MAGA Ye. Per TMZ : Kanye and team came under fire … with people accusing him of being the one who was charging for the subpar meal. However, we’re told it was quite the opposite … in fact, Kanye didn’t receive any money to perform Friday and covered all travel costs for his choir as well. The catering company behind the meal, Lauryn’s Fine Catering, tells us, “The catering company acknowledges it did not provide adequate food for ONE attendee and a social media post went viral.” They continue, “Kanye West and the Sunday Service collective should be disassociated with such claims surrounding the food at the event.” We initially reported that Kanye probably had nothing to do with the meal, but its quite fitting he was apart of an event that produced such a despicable serving of food, to begin with.— Photo: James Devaney / Getty
