Literally. Maybe it was the slice of pound cake earlier in the day, but I’d rather give credit to this shitty story for making me feel unwell earlier in the day.
Long story short: Brookhaven PR director is fired due to comments being taken out of context and preemptively reported as an incident of discrimination without all of the facts being present.
Brookhaven is a pretty nice neighborhood, just north of the actual city proper limits of Atlanta. It’s also a neighborhood synonymous for being a somewhat affluent “white” neighborhood.
Two weeks ago, there was supposedly a festival being held in Brookhaven. As lots of public events like to have, a photographer was hired to do some event photography during the festival, presumably so that the city as well as the PR department could have some ostensibly nice photos to glorify the expected success of the event itself.
