Gibson claims he and two other men “experienced outrageous discriminatory mistreatment” during a visit to the home improvement store in February.
, the “Fast and Furious” star alleged that he and two men who “regularly provide construction services to Gibson” had “experienced outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling” while they were at the home improvement store on February 11.
“Diversity and respect for all people are core to who we are, and we do not tolerate discrimination in any form,” the statement read. “We value Mr. Gibson as a customer, and in the months since this happened, we’ve reached out to him and his attorneys several times to try to resolve his concerns. We will continue to do so.”
In February, the three men went to the store on Victory Boulevard, the suit states, but Gibson had begun to be recognized by fans, according to the suit. Things only got worse from there, as the suit claims that the cashier “gave no reasonable explanation other than repeating store policy and demanded to see a form of identification” and said that the manager refused to speak to the actor.
