June/14/2019 — Recently fired Old Navy employee in Ontario Canada, is seen grabbing a woman on the wrist after she claimed she saw her shoplifting. The victim insists she was racially profiled.

The viral video shows, now identified, Old Navy employee "Stephanie" holding the wrist of the shopper and yelling that she had video of her stealing from the store. According to Yahoo.com the shopper is later quoted saying "I would've been more calm and understanding if she didn't accuse me first, and would've been happy to show my receipt, especially because I voiced my racial profile complaint to the employee before I left the store."

Since the video has been posted there has been lots of backlash and negative comments towards Old Old Navy. An Old Navy Spokesperson provided a lengthy statement following the incident. It read "Old Navy was founded in 1994 to be a place where everyone belongs. It's been a part of our culture and values since day one, and always will be. That makes it even more upsetting when incidents occur that don't reflect those values. We are so sorry that Lisa Calderon had an unacceptable experience in one of our stores, and we apologize for letting her down." For the full statement and story READ MORE HERE.
