A now-viral Facebook post claims black men were denied entry for alleged dress code violations — but white patrons wore hoodies without incident.
Staffers at country singer Jason Aldean’s Nashville restaurant and bar have been accused of turning away black men for wearing hoodies — something the wife of one of the men says she saw “numerous” white customers wearing.
When the group confronted staff over the discrepancy, a manager allegedly ran screaming after one of Murphy’s friends, prompting her co-workers to warn her that she might get fired. Murphy later updated her post to note that she received an apology from the owner of the third-party security service company involved. The owner, a black man, suggested that there may have been a miscommunication about the venue’s dress code policy.
A spokeswoman also tells Yahoo Lifestyle that they have been in touch with Murphy, and confirmed that hoodies are permitted in the venue. Indeed, a photo posted on the Aldean’s Facebook page just days ago shows Aldean himself performing at the venue to a crowd which includes multiple people who appear to be wearing hoodies as well as caps.
