Cinnabon Worker Fired for Racist Comments Sparks Outrage and Fundraising Efforts

A Cinnabon employee in Ashwaubenon has been fired after a video surfaced showing her making racist comments, including the use of a slur against a Somali couple. The incident, which has since gone viral, has drawn national outrage and prompted responses from organizations like CAIR. Despite her firing, the former employee, Crystal Wilsey, has garnered significant financial support through crowdfunding campaigns, raising over $130,000, much to the dismay of those advocating against such behavior. Cinnabon has issued a statement condemning the remarks and emphasizing their commitment to promoting diversity and respect. The event has led to divided opinions, with some questioning the ethics of crowdfunding for individuals accused of racist behavior.
