Not even 24 hours after making international headlines for falsely accusing a Black man of ‘threatening her life,’ Amy Cooper – the Vice President of Investment Solutions at Franklin Templeton – finds herself unemployed.
Details inside:
Amy was filmed calling the police to falsely accuse a Black man (later identified as former Marvel editor/Harvard graduate Christian Cooper) of threatening her life because he requested she obey the park’s mandate for pets to be leashed.
Once her videoed antics were uploaded to Twitter by Christian’s sister, they quickly went viral and led many to call for her termination at her place of employment. Late Monday night (May 25), the investment giants did indicate she had been placed on administrative leave pending investigation (as we reported here).
Now, she’s been fired.
Taking to Twitter Tuesday (May 26), Franklin Templeton announced:
The statement above comes just hours after Amy took to press to apologize for the incident.
“I sincerely and humbly apologize to everyone, especially to that man, his family,” Amy Cooper told NBC NEW YORK via phone. “It was unacceptable and I humbly and fully apologize to everyone who’s seen that video, everyone that’s been offended…everyone who thinks of me in a lower light and I understand why they do.”
“When I think about the police, I’m such a blessed person. I’ve come to realize especially today that I think of [the police] as a protection agency, and unfortunately, this has caused me to realize that there are so many people in this country that don’t have that luxury,” she added.
Your thoughts?
Good!!!
Adios Punta
BTW I didn’t bother to watch the video because they are usually ALL the same….followed by a fake apology because they got caught doing what they do best
Tell Lies.
Unfortunately i’ve watched but this Karen was caught by her own stupidity. The man she attacked never in any way threatened her, he is polite and calm (I read on TT he is an Harvard Graduate and famed botanist) she’s the one who is unhinged and the way she plays herself as the victim is disgusting.
She was banned from Central Park and the pound where she adopted her dog temporarily removed him from her care. She is a racist monster and that’s the way all Karens should be handle!
Good. Racist POS
Good! I’ll never understand why people think they can get away with stupid stuff like this and not get caught.
Bc sadly, they have for many years… thank GOD this was recorded.
Honestly, WTF does this post have to do with an entertainment (music, film, television…) site???
Stick to the damn music please.
Don’t be silly
Every once in a while they post about politics and serios stuff.
Why are u angry that a racist white woman got what she deserved? Are u racist too?
If I wanted to read about this news, I would go on Dailymail.com not That Grape Juice.
Pretty simple.
Clarks0o0ñ aka the new TROLLmine you are the most racist person on here you stupid wetback. Shouldn’t you be on the other side of the wall, now be gone.
Key words
“We do not tolerate racism of any kind”
Glad the company saw the big picture which was racism not animal abuse
Not that animal abuse isnt important but racism should be the main focus of this incident
Such an awful woman
I can bet she’s a biden supporter and a feminist who likes writing all men are trash on twitter regularly. 🤮🤮🤮
She will get rehired somewhere else.
Exactly
Bye 👋 Karen!!!…and good riddance!!!
I am a black man. When I see things like these it makes me so scared,
Why do they hate us soo much just because of the colour of our skin.
