Customers File Lawsuit Against Victoria's Secret Alleging Racial Profiling
NBC Los Angeles ^ | April 15, 2016

Posted on 04/16/2016 10:31:34 AM PDT by kevcol

Two black women are each seeking $4 million in damages from Victoria's Secret, claiming they were treated like criminals and ordered out of the Beverly Center store by management after a confrontation with an aggressive customer.

A lawsuit filed by Shaunda McDaniel and Tammi Robinson alleges negligence, slander, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false arrest and violations of various state codes.

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs went to the Victoria's Secret store, located in a predominantly white and affluent area, last June 16 for the chain's semiannual sale. They were perusing the sale items when a woman who "appeared to be white" hit and shoved McDaniel and pushed Robinson, the suit alleges.

After McDaniel requested an apology, the other customer said, "I'm saying nothing to you," according to the suit.

A manager showed up to investigate and said she would call security. The other customer continued to be rude and aggressive toward the plaintiffs while all three of them were being detained, according to the lawsuit.

Another store manager, who was white, approached without any security guards, according to the lawsuit. Having done no investigation, she assumed McDaniel and Robinson were at fault because they were black and the other customer was white, according to the complaint.

The thought of a couple of buffalo in VC skimpies is enough to make a man celibate.

I’d bet there are plenty of white b!tches in Beverly Hills, and they can get surely after those five martini lunches.

“The thought of a couple of buffalo in VC skimpies is enough to make a man celibate.”

On the other hand, they might have been planning to use thong panties for head bands or hair “scrunchies.”

Yep. Sometimes people just wing it in hopes there was no security camera recording the event.

Add a dose of anti-whitey racism to the mix.
