So, when is the Trial?
This guy needs to be prosecuted and punished for his crime.
Anything else is a travesty of justice.
If you read the entire statement to the media, this is the "settlement" demanded by Whole Foods, so they dropped their counter-suit as well.
His entire statement:
Today I am dismissing my lawsuit against Whole Foods Market. The company did nothing wrong. I was wrong to pursue this matter and use the media to perpetuate this story. I want to apologize to Whole Foods and its team members for questioning the company’s commitment to its values, and especially the bakery associate who I understand was put in a terrible position because of my actions. I apologize to the LGBT community for diverting attention from real issues. I also want to apologize to my partner, my family, my church family, and my attorney.
And the response from Whole Foods (thanks, jaydubya2!):
"We're very pleased that the truth has come to light. Given Mr. Brown's apology and public admission that his story was a complete fabrication, we see no reason to move forward with our counter suit to defend the integrity of our brand and team members."
