“So happy you lost your job”: Fired Cinnabon employee Crystal Terese slammed with malicious comments on Instagram following viral racist tirade

A Cinnabon employee from Wisconsin, reportedly identified as Crystal Terese, went viral after she was filmed using racial expletives against Black customers. In the aftermath of her video going viral, Terese was fired from her job, according to Cinnabon.

The event unfolded at Ashwaubenon Cinnabon, where a Somali couple came to get some food, as per The New York Post. The news outlet noted that a squabble erupted after an employee at Cinnabon began targeting the Somali customer’s hijab. As the couple began to film the employee, she used obscene hand gestures and even called the customers the “n-word.” In addition to this, the employee also proclaimed that she was, in fact, a racist.
