She didn't seem to care about her use of a slur

A woman has been fired from her job after using the n-world slur in a TikTok video.

Lilly Gaddis, who is white, dropped the slur and refused to apologize to viewers, who were understandably outraged by her.

In the TikTok video posted to her now-deactivated account, she was talking about women being called 'gold diggers', and pushed back on the saying - providing her own examples of why women were not after men’s money, because men are supposedly 'broke'.

She ranted: "Everyone I know that is married right now is married to broke-a** n*****."

Lilly also talked about 'dumb w*****' and derogatory remarks about 'immigrants fresh off the boat looking for a green card'.

Following the backlash, she said she was aware of how her video had upset people, saying: "The backlash made me do a deep dive and soul search, and after all that, I still couldn't find a care."

Well, what goes around also comes back to bite you in the a** as her employer, Rophe of the Carolinas, went on to fire her.

The company shared a statement on Tuesday (June 11) about how it had released Lilly from her marketing and sales manager position.

Rophe of the Carolinas said that the employee is ‘no longer with the company’.

The statement added: "We are owned and operated by [an] African American female and [are an] immigrant owned business and handled the situation as quickly as we could.

"We want to assure you that we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and respectful work environment where all individuals are valued and respected...

"We appreciate the support and trust of our community, and we are dedicated to earning back any confidence that may have been shaken by this unfortunate incident."

But Lilly has since claimed there has been an infringement on her First Amendment right and ability to speak freely.

In other news, she’s was recently dragged through the mud on TikTok again after another controversial take.

In the video, she talked about the ‘nerds’ and ‘people we didn’t hand out with’ in high school, who are ‘yuck’.

The sound was later removed by TikTok, which she might have thought would happen as she captioned the video with: “You can’t take me down. #fypage #fypシ゚viral #llddis #trump2024 P.S tiktok I am not bullying.”

UNILAD has contacted Rophe of the Carolinas for further comment.
