There is absolutely no way an employee wrote the anti-gay slur on the cake.

So tired of people creating their own victimhood.

It's also telling that in the same afternoon this cake was purchased he filled a lawsuit.

[ezgeze]

Sick of these assholes crying wolf on their own scams, claiming outrage and then making demands on innocent people. Fuck this guy. If I were the bakers I would counter sue his ass.

Whole Foods taking legal action against cake accuser, releases video

Austin-based Whole Foods Market said it is taking legal action against an Austin man who claims he purchased a cake from the retailer that included a slur against gay people.

Whole Foods also released its security footage video from its North Lamar Boulevard flagship store that it says contradicts the man’s claims.

Whole Foods on Tuesday said it has investigated and said the man, Jordan Brown, made fraudulent claims and that the company would take legal action.

“After a deeper investigation of Mr. Brown’s claim, we believe his accusations are fraudulent and we intend to take legal action against both Mr. Brown and his attorney,” the company said in the statement.

The retailer said Monday in response to Brown’s claims that their bakery team member wrote “Love Wins” at the top of the cake. This, the retailer recounted on Tuesday, was visible to Mr. Brown through the clear portion of the packaging.

“That’s exactly how the cake was packaged and sold at the store,” the company said. “Whole Foods Market has a strict policy that prohibits team members from accepting or designing bakery orders that include language or images that are offensive.”

The retailer went on to say Brown admitted that he was in sole possession and control of the cake until he posted his video, which showed the UPC label on the bottom and side of the box.

“After reviewing their security footage of Mr. Brown, it’s clear that the UPC label was in fact on top of the cake box, not on the side of the package,” Whole Foods said. “This is evident as the cashier scans the UPC code on top of the box, which you can view here.”

The company said it continues to stand behind its team member.

“We stand behind our bakery team member, who is part of the LGBTQ community, and we appreciate the team members and shoppers who recognize that this claim is completely false and directly contradicts Whole Foods Market’s inclusive culture, which celebrates diversity,” the company said.

More than a half a dozen calls and emails to both Brown and his attorney Austin Kaplan seeking comment were not immediately returned Tuesday .

The two, along with several others, held a news conference at the attorney’s office at 98 San Jacinto Boulevard on Monday. At the event, the group shared pictures of a cake inside a box showing a UPC label on the bottom of the box.

Brown, who was emotional at Monday’s news conference, said he went to the Whole Foods flagship store and asked the bakery associate to write “Love Wins” on the cake.

He said he paid for the cake but didn’t look inside the box until he was at a stop light later and later contacted a store associate but was told they did nothing wrong.

Brown said he is openly gay and said he was offended and humiliated.

Kaplan said a lawsuit was filed at Travis County District court on the matter Monday.

In the lawsuit, Brown said he was seeking damages and monetary relief for mental anguish, court costs and other expenses.

As usual with would be professional victims they're not very inventive in what they do or imitate. What a joke.

[LiiLoSNK]

How do you not look at a cake you ordered to have a custom drawing on the top of it?

This guy should be jailed for wasting everyone's time. And for being a FAG!



Infracted.

[the game]

It's my understanding that this was a hoax.

[Super Friendly Kitty Cat]

I am happy to see Whole Foods suing this guy and the law firm representing him. I wonder how long it will take for this dude to come clean.

[Lenonis]

Well this is why you have an investigation, a trial, and a need to provide evidence.

If the guy faked it, then he should be slammed with a nasty countersuit. If it happened as claims, then Whole Foods is going to be writing a check.

I suppose the good thing about increasing technology and social media is it is increasingly likely there is footage of incidents like these to show who is in the right.

[Naxere]

Yeah, my money's on the pastor writing this himself just to get his name in the news. Leave the falsifying victimhood to the left.

[Forgettable]

Is the pastor gay? He's not actually a pastor then.

[Masark]

Is the pastor gay? He's not actually a pastor then.

How do you figure that? There are numerous denominations that have no problem with homosexuality.

[Lenonis]

Leave the falsifying victimhood to the left.

Really? You want to seriously claim that playing victim is something that falls along a political spectrum??

Saw this story this morning.

It's totally fake. You can tell the consistency of the icing on the slur is different than the message above.

Guy likely thought he was real clever. I wonder how many people are falling for it?

Not too many now Whole Foods released their footage.

You would think if he wanted to pull this shit he would go to Walmart or something. Not pick the most culturally diverse and inclusive grocery store and attempt to create a situation where someone wrote the word "fag" on his cake.

I am just waiting for the apology from this guy now that Whole Foods is counter suing him.

Anyone that saw anti-gay and had a seizure.

Huzzah. More reason to cast doubt on people claiming discrimination.

[Gheld]

Also apparently according to whole foods the baker working at the store who took the order is a member of the LBGTQ+-<> community.

[Gheld]

Did you write the message on the cake or were present at the time? If not, how do you know what happened?

But to which of those letter and symbols did the cake writer belong? Those letters and symbols don't get along as well as the rest of society like to believe.

It's all moot. The Pastor claimed the cake was sealed like that. But the evidentiary photos of the cake allegedly unopened feature the UPC sticker in a different location. Meaning that the box was unsealed, and then later resealed using the same sticker. Which is 100% contradictory of his claims.

EDIT: and the burden of proof is on the accuser. So he has to explain that one.

[Super Friendly Kitty Cat]

One, the type is different between "Love Wins" and "Fag".

Two, the icing on the word "fag" is skinnier.

Third, the guy claims Whole Foods sealed the cake with the tag on the bottom, but on the security footage Whole Foods released, the tag is clearly on the top.

Fourth, he didn't see the word "fag" through the clear cellophane, and this was the only thing he purchased.

Fifth, he himself claims he didn't see the word "fag" on the cake until he reached his vehicle. He was still in the parking lot of the store, but didn't immediately go back into the store. Instead he waited several hours later to contact the store and record a video of the cake.

Guy is liar. Just like most people who claimed they were wronged.

He opened it and wrote it and resealed it, but forgot to replace the UPC on the top, which is clearly where the front lanes employee scanned the UPC. The pastor himself admits from the time that he purchased the cake until the video, he was in sole possession of the cake.

[Ryme]

Imagine getting this upset because you had to recall when you saw some mean words on a cake, what a completely ridiculous yet somehow alluringly simplistic life.

[Barnabas]

If this isn't SJW fail I don't know what is? lol
