A Kansas City physical therapy office is under fire after a Black former employee alleged she was fired after reporting to the owner that her supervisor accidentally sent her a racist email.
The woman, Tiffany Griffin, took to social media to share what happened to her and claims she was demonized by the owner of ETC Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine, with the owner once saying he would investigate her claim.
Popular TikToker AuntKaren0 championed her cause, noting that the woman got the email on Friday, and by Tuesday of the next week, she was fired. She then posted a copy of the email on her page and has actively worked to get Griffin’s story out to the masses.
“Dude, Next time you guys hire DARK MEAT make sure she is not DUMB and NOT A BRAID QUEEN!!!!!” the email began.
“This morning was a disaster,” it continued.“SO GLAD she’s not going to be with me all the time, DO NOT LIKE BEING HOT. By the looks of the schedule Jim will not need her after we all take out PTO. Hope she is not out here when FALL COMES it gets dark out pretty early, DON’T want her to run into any trouble.”
According to Griffin, she told the owner about the email. He allegedly sent her back a text message expressing his commitment to getting to the bottom of the accusation.
“I am going to go over there and pull the videos to show her (Michelle) sitting there at 10:45 sending this email and take the appropriate actions, we don’t tolerate discrimination of any kind to anyone, no matter what. I won’t do that until Friday 31st. Is there anything you want to add to this at this time?” the owner allegedly texted Griffin.
