A Cinnabon employee in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, was fired after a shocking video went viral showing her screaming the N-word and other racist insults at a Somali couple. The confrontation, recorded by the customers, shows the woman repeatedly calling them the slur, proudly declaring, “I am a racist,” while smiling and flashing both middle fingers.
According to the couple, the situation escalated after the employee allegedly mocked the woman’s hijab when they entered to buy food. In the video, the worker continues to curse at them aggressively, even taunting, “Suck it,” as they warn her she’s ruining her career.
Cinnabon quickly issued a statement saying the behavior was unacceptable and confirmed the employee had been immediately terminated by the franchise owner. The company emphasized that her actions did not represent its values or the treatment customers deserve.
Amid the fallout, some supporters created crowdfunding pages for the fired woman — one of which raised thousands of dollars before being taken down. Another GoFundMe reached over $1,000 from dozens of donors.

The incident comes at a tense moment for Somali communities in Minnesota and Wisconsin, where anti-immigrant sentiment has surged following recent remarks by President Trump. He referred to Somali immigrants as “garbage” who had “destroyed our country,” comments made while discussing a major COVID-19 welfare fraud case. White House adviser Stephen Miller also blamed Somali immigrants for the scheme, fueling further controversy.
