Popeyes’ Employees Mock Customer And Call Him ‘White Boy’, Don’t Realize He’s A Celebrity

Note: we are republishing this story, which originally made the news in January 2017.

“American Idol” runner-up Bo Bice claims he was attacked on the basis of his race at a Popeyes restaurant at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia.

“He already got his, that white boy there,” Bice, 41, claims one of the fast food restaurant’s employees said of him, before mistakenly delivering his order to somebody else, the Daily Mail reports.

The women reportedly laughed after referring to him as “that white boy.”

Previously, Bice claims one of the women had mocked his name for five minutes straight, calling him “Bow-Bow, Boo- Boo, and Bo-Bo.”

Bice later uploaded photos and the name of one of the women onto social media.

“If tables had been turned and I used something as insensitive like that … I would be boycotted, people wouldn’t buy my albums,” Bice said while explaining his reasons for being upset to WTTG.

Facebook promptly removed his post, referring to it as bullying while stating it violated their policy to not “identify and shame private individuals.”
