A new lawsuit accuses employees at a Popeyes restaurant in Atlanta, Georgia, of attacking a woman in the drive-thru after she attempted to have her order corrected.
The incident allegedly happened in September 2022 at the Popeyes location on Cleveland Avenue in southwest Atlanta.
After Denetra Dawson attempted to fix an incorrect order, employees allegedly attacked her, pulling out a chunk of her hair and leaving her bruised, according to the lawsuit filed Friday. Dawson said in the lawsuit that when she tried to have her order fixed, words were exchanged before the employees attacked.
“I didn’t even think I was going to make it back to my kids,” Denetra Dawson told Fox 5 Atlanta. “I simply went to get food for my kids, I still don’t understand why me.” ***
[A] attorney Mawuli Davis, who is working on the case, told the outlet that one employee physically opens Dawson’s passenger door, enters the vehicle and begins to attack her.
Dawson said three employees were involved in the attack and that the only way she could stop them was by pulling out a gun.
According to an incident report, two people — Tenice Taylor and a minor — were charged with battery. A third person identified as Tenister Evans was charged with misdemeanor obstruction of an officer.
“They ripped out the braid out of her hair, all the way down to the root,” Davis said.
Dawson said she was left with physical and emotional scars after the attack. “They took my identity, I take pride in my hair, I can’t get certain hairstyles,” she said.
Davis claims the restaurant’s manager had a documented criminal past involving violent acts, and that Popeyes showed negligence by hiring this person and not conducting proper background checks. ***

A late friend of mine worked as an EMT in New Orleans. He once mentioned driving through the areas of the city where you could see evidence of past female hair-pulling fights - by weaves laying in the streets (usually blown or wadded-up against the curbs or storm drain grates). He referred to them as "tumbleweaves".
tumbleweaves! Fantastic :)
“Popeyes.. Atlanta. That’s all anyone needs to know.”
CDC headquarters is in Atlanta. Meaning affirmative action hiring on steroids. That is why The CDC is so effed up.
There was an episode of ‘Sanford and Son’ about that.
