KFC Ejection Story Hoax is taking the internet by storm after the true story of a three-year-old named Victoria Wilcher came out. The tale was posted by Wilcher's grandmother on the toddler's Facebook support page. As it turns out, the tale that Wilcher was kicked out of KFC for having a face that scares customers is a total lie, and now KFC Ejection Story Hoax of Wilcher is getting more attention than her previous one.
Wilcher was attacked by three pit bulls that got into her grandfather's house. She later had to receive surgery for her broken jaw, nose and cheek bones to be fixed. She also lost one of her eyes due to the attack. Earlier in the month, KFC faced backlash from the public after a story from Wilcher's grandmother came out that she was allegedly asked to leave a KFC in Jackson because her facial scars were disrupting customers.
According to E! Online, a source confirmed that employees and managers at both Jackson locations have been experiencing death threats, verbal harassment and drinks thrown at them after the KFC Ejection Story Hoax came out.
However, with new reports revealing the KFC Ejection Story Hoax, which claims that the entire humiliation was a hoax, the KFC staff at Jackson may probably heave a sigh of relief.
The Clarion-Ledger reported on the KFC ejection story hoax. According to the news site, sources with deep knowledge of the investigation told the Laurel Leader-Call exclusively that the incident which involved Wilcher and KFC and resulted in the family receiving more than $135,000 in cash, gifts and free surgeries, is entirely made up.
On June 20, an employee reportedly told the Leader-Call that it was the first day since the KFC ejection story erupted that he would be able to wear his KFC uniform shirt in public.
The sources reporting on the KFC hoax ejection story reportedly cited the strict condition of anonymity as they have not been allowed to speak on the record.
Because the investigation on the KFC ejection story hoax is still open, the Courier-Journal reports that no one from KFC wanted to respond about the new KFC ejection story hoax, but on Friday, the company released a statement which stated, 'We continue to take this report seriously, and of course have great sympathy for Victoria and her family.'
WJTV reports Jackson franchise owner Kirk Hannon saying in a statement regarding the KFC ejection story hoax , 'Since we have so far not been able to verify the incident in our internal investigation, we have also hired a third-party consultant to conduct an independent investigation to help us resolve this matter.'
The statement by Hannon on the KFC ejection story hoax also said, 'We have always prided ourselves on respect for all people and we will continue to emphasize this to all our employees. In addition, regardless of the outcome of the current investigation, KFC Corporation has committed $30,000 to assist with Victoria's medical bills. Along with the KFC Corporation, we are determined to get to the truth and address the situation appropriately.'
Meanwhile, KFC spokesman Rick Maynard has also issued a statement regarding new reports of KFC ejection story hoax. Maynard said in the statement, 'Like the rest of America, the KFC family has been moved by the story of Victoria's injuries and recovery. After the alleged incident was reported to us, two investigations took place, including one by an independent investigator. Neither revealed any evidence that the incident occurred and we consider the investigation closed. We are honoring our commitment to make a $30,000 donation to assist with Victoria's medical bills. We hope everyone keeps Victoria in their thoughts and prayers. She will certainly be in ours.'
Of the findings on the KFC ejection story hoax, the sources reportedly told the following:
- The child's grandmother, Kelly Mullins, who was with the three-year-old at the Jackson location said the incident happened on May 15.
- A Facebook post on Victoria's Victories has both Wilcher and Mullins in Jackson on May 15 showing them going to Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital.
- Meanwhile, there are a reported two KFC locations close to the hospital - on Woodrow Wilson Drive and Meadowbrook Drive.
- On May 16, Victoria's Victories wrote: 'We had a small adventure yesterday, Victoria pulled her feeding tube out but thanks to the great people at Batson Children's Hospital she is home today waiting for her new sister! Mom & Baby Abby come home today too!!'
Evidence supporting KFC ejection story hoax started showing as the source said there were no footage on surveillance videos showing that there were any children in the store at the 15th who matched the description of Victoria Wilcher or Mullins.
The source backing up the KFC ejection story hoax said that the tapes were viewed in both the Meadowbrook and Woodrow Wilson KFC locations in Jackson.
The source reporting on the KFC ejection story hoax also stated that in the tapes, no orders of mashed potatoes and sweet tea on the same transaction have been recorded, which were two items Mullins said she ordered May 15. In a Jackson WAPT-TV report, Mullins said on June 12, the day after the KFC ejection story went viral, 'I ordered a sweet tea and mashed potatoes and gravy. I sat down at the table and started feeding her and the lady came over and said that we would have to leave, because we were disturbing other customers, that Victoria's face was disturbing other customers.'
The source reporting on the KFC ejection story hoax also said that a hospital patient has never before been asked to leave one of the KFCs. The source added that he has seen people with all sorts of ailments eat at KFC.
According to the Courier-Journal, there is also a plaque of KFC founder, Col. Harland Sanders inside Batson Children's Hospital. It was reportedly placed there after the company made a multimillion-dollar donation to the hospital.
The source again supported the KFC ejection story hoax and said, 'We have never ever ever run off anyone, and we have seen some really really sick people come to the restaurant from the hospital. We've had people come in who were shot in the face. We've had them with tubes and wire sticking out. We never have asked anyone to leave.'
According to reports, the family of Wilcher initially told the company that the KFC ejection incident happened at the location on State and High streets. This claim was backed by post on Victoria's Victories, a page run by Teri Rials Bates, the girl's aunt. The post read, 'Thank you for your support for Victoria. If you would like to file a complaint its the KFC on State Street in Jackson MS.'
However, KFC ejection story hoax looks more and more apparent as that store in Jackson is reportedly not in operation and has been closed for several years now.
As such, Victoria's Victories changed its story Friday to deny KFC ejection story hoax and said that the State Street reference had been a mistake. In the page post, Bates wrote, 'Im the Aunt, I run her page and Im the one that miss quoted that it was State street when it was actually Woodrow Wilson. Dont blame the grandmother for my mistake!'
In the meantime, Bill Kellum of Jackson, Mullins' attorney said that until he receives word from the investigation launched by KFC, he could not comment on the KFC ejection story hoax. Kellum added that the family is unsure whether or not to accept the money from KFC.
Kellum said, 'This doesn't go to the family, they don't want it; it just goes for Victoria. While we are pleased that KFC has brought in a third-party investigator, our primary goal isto help Victoria recuperate.'
While reports of the KFC ejection story hoax are going viral, the corporation stated that they will be giving the money regardless of the outcome of the investigation which may support KFC ejection story hoax. Dick West, president of West Quality Food, one of the largest franchisees in the KFC chain and the owner of the local KFCs, stated on the Facebook page of a Jackson television station that he believes the KFC ejection story hoax as he doesn't believe the KFC ejection story ever happening at all.
He said, 'When the allegation was first made, KFC pledged $30,000 to go to medical expenses and started an investigation to find the truth. They have pledged the money even if it is proven that the incident never happened. At this point their story is full of holes. Any thinking person who follows their timeline can see it. The event at KFC never happened.'
The findings of the report supporting or not the KFC ejection story hoax are due this week.
Kelly Mullins, Welcher's grandmother, has also not commented on the KFC ejection story hoax.
KFC ejection story hoax has not been commented on by other family members as well as attempts to reach the family Monday have proven ineffective.
