Waffle House \u201cAvenger\u201d reveals why she didn\u2019t press charges after viral chair fight Fox News\/TwitterThe Waffle House \u201cAvenger\u201d who went viral for catching a chair mid-air during a restaurant brawl has revealed why she refused to press charges against the customers who attacked her. Former Waffle House employee Halie Booth has become an internet sensation after a video of her fighting rowdy customers surfaced online in late December. During the fight, a customer threw a chair at Booth\u2019s face, but the Waffle House employee was able to catch it in epic fashion, earning the respect of millions for her lightning-quick reflexes. Since going viral, Booth has since started her own YouTube channel to explain the incident and even appeared on Fox News\u2019 Tucker Carlson to discuss the frantic melee. Waffle House fighter tells Tucker Carlson why she didn\u2019t press charges After answering some questions about the brawl and how she ended up being blacklisted by the company following the brouhaha, Waffle House Wendy chimed in about her attackers potentially going to jail. \u201cI hope they all went to prison,\u201d Carlson commented. \u201cI bet they didn\u2019t.\u201d According to the former Waffle House worker, she didn\u2019t want those involved to get in trouble and even refused to get the police involved. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to press charges. I felt that the situation had been resolved and everyone could go on their way,\u201d she replied, which made Carlson grin. \u201cYou\u2019re a nice person,\u201d he said to end the segment, to which Booth shrugged. Waffle House fighter \u201cintimidated\u201d by Fox News Tucker Carlson segment Speaking to Rolling Stone after her appearance on Fox News, Booth called the segment \u201cintimidating\u201d and felt like she was \u201ctrying to be pulled into something political.\u201d However, she also appreciated him for having her on the show and getting the chance to talk about the fight and everything that\u2019s happened since. Speaking of which, Booth also revealed that she and her boyfriend drove down to the restaurant where the fight happened just a week ago to sit down with customers. This time, a fight didn\u2019t break out. It\u2019s not clear what\u2019s next for the Waffle House fighter, but she\u2019s since said that she would be interested in learning how to fight and get some \u201creal training.\u201d With any luck, we might see her compete in an influencer boxing match sometime in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
