Little Girl Getting Kicked Out of KFC Was Reportedly a Huge Hoax
KFC donated $30,000 to the family of three-year-old Victoria Wilcher after they claimed an employee at a store in Jackson, Miss. asked them to leave because Victoria's scarsleftover from an attack by her grandfather's pit bullswere scaring customers. But according to a new report in the Laurel Leader-Call, the whole thing was a hoax and never happened.
The company publicly apologized for the incident and donated the money to help with the cost Victoria's medical bills. Apparently, the entire incident in the restaurant was cooked up as an elaborate publicity stunt to raise money. After the KFC franchise where the incident allegedly took place became suspicious of the timeline presented by Victoria's family, they hired an independent investigator, who has yet to release their final report.
But a source tells the Laurel Leader-Call that the story completely falls apart upon basic fact-checking: Security footage does not put Victoria or her grandmother, who claimed to be with her, in the KFC (or even another KFC) the day the incident supposedly occurred. And apparently, no one made their orderfor mashed potatoes and sweet teathat day, either. No one even ordered mashed potatoes and sweet tea as part of a larger order.
