Red Lobster server claims she got fired over her hair color TIKTOK: celebertey_taylorA former Red Lobster server went viral on TikTok after claiming she got fired by a new manager for her hair color. In a 34-second clip with 1.5 million views, Kiara Barnett (celebertey_taylor) said the new manager told her she\u2019d have to dye her hair a \u201cnatural color\u201d if she wanted to keep her job. The content creator decided to record their interaction and share it on TikTok. The former Red Lobster server filmed the general manager as she spoke to her. A text over the clip read, \u201cPOV: [your] job gets a new GM and on her first day she says you can\u2019t [be] there because of [your] hair color.\u201d Kiara said to the manager, \u201cHair color? You\u2019re gonna have no workers. You\u2019re running this, you came in here today and this is how you\u2019re treating all your workers? You\u2019re gonna have no f**king workers.\u201d The manager, who was stood by with her hands folded, replied, \u201cI\u2019m very sorry if you feel I\u2019m disrespecting you. I do.\u201d Kiara continued, \u201cI really do because my hair color has nothing to do with how I work and if I can work in a professional place. This is Red Lobster, you know that?\u201d The general manager quickly cut her off, and told the TikToker, \u201cYou\u2019re getting inappropriate I\u2019m gonna ask you to leave.\u201d \u201cI wasn\u2019t even yelling at you I was talking,\u201d the Red Lobster employee stated before the video cut out. Most TikTok users in the comment section sided with Kiara. \u201cAs a customer of Red Lobster I don\u2019t care what color hair, how many piercings, or how many tattoos. I care about service,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cHair color should be the least of her concerns when she is probably understaffed,\u201d another added. In a follow-up clip, Kiara said she was hired while donning the same hair color during her first interview with the food chain, and her former manager didn\u2019t mind the \u2018unnatural\u2019 red hair. She later reached out to the Red Lobster corporation for clarity on their policies, and claimed that corporate told her that the new GM was wrong and she should be rehired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
