“They told me they can’t trust me and that I didn’t just ruin this Applebee’s name, I ruined all the Applebee’s in Wisconsin’s name by letting these videos get out. I’m not the one who recorded the videos nor let them out on the internet, so I don’t understand.”

She continued,. “My employees are trying to get the right story out, so how did we ruin the name of Applebee’s?”

Harris revealed that she had dedicated more than a decade to the restaurant chain, going from server to manager in that time, and that she’s currently without a job while her fiancé is in the hospital and her 11-year-old is about to begin school soon.

She also revealed that two employees also quit due to her firing. She went on to say, “They had the opportunity to do the right thing also and support this family and they chose to support the other side and care about how they look in the situation.”
