Watch New Jersey woman fired after telling German tourists on New York-bound train to ‘get the hell out’ of the US (Full Video)
A New Jersey woman faced severe consequences when she verbally lashed out at a group of German tourists on a New York-bound train, demanding they leave the country. This incident was captured in a video shared on Reddit.
The woman in question is Brianna Pinnix, a 30-year-old talent acquisition specialist employed at Capital Rx. She confronted the tourists on what appeared to be a New Jersey Transit train. The video portrayed her as intoxicated during the encounter.
Capital Rx swiftly took action in response to her actions and fired her from her position. A company spokesperson confirmed this decision and stated that Capital Rx has a zero-tolerance policy for harmful or discriminatory behavior. They offered an apology to those who were affected by the incident, emphasizing that Pinnix’s actions did not represent the company’s values.
Furthermore, social media accounts associated with Pinnix, including her LinkedIn profile, were deleted after the video, which was widely seen as xenophobic, came to light.
In the video, Pinnix repeatedly asked the tourists if they were German and aggressively demanded that they repeat what they had said. Her boyfriend tried to intervene, holding her wrists and urging her to stop, fearing she would get arrested. Despite his pleas, Pinnix continued her tirade, leading to an uncomfortable and embarrassing scene on the train.
Other passengers on the train, including a couple sitting behind the tourists, looked visibly mortified by the situation. Pinnix’s boyfriend attempted to defuse the situation and reminded her that he, too, was an immigrant. However, Pinnix’s behavior continued to escalate as she encouraged onlookers to engage in violence.
New Jersey Transit acknowledged the incident and stated that it was under investigation, though it couldn’t confirm whether it occurred on one of its trains. The video sparked outrage on social media, with many expressing concerns about the woman’s behavior and suggesting that her boyfriend should consider ending the relationship for his own well-being.
