T.I. is a man that sticks to his word and if he is standing for something, he is really going to show it. Which brings us to Houston's Restaurant in Atlanta.
Deb Antney and Momma Dee of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta took to social media to air out a recent situation of discrimination when they hit up Houston's Restaurant to get some food. They were denied service after they arrived with a crew of more than six people and when the crew offered to split up and sit separately, they were told they couldn't be accommodated. Yikes.
Well, it looks like Deb and Momma Dee weren't the only ones that went through the same situation. A couple hit up the Houston's on Lenox Road and Buckhead and were also denied service and asked to leave when the crew offered to be split up and sit at different tables.
The couple, Jay Morrison and Ernestine Johnson, took to Instagram to tell their side of the story:
@HoustonsLenox restaurant on Lenox Rd. just discriminated against me, my woman and my team. We asked to be seated as totally separate parties, with individual waiters, separate bills and not even in the same section. Even as a party of 4 they continued to refuse us seating. WE ARE ABOUT TO SHUT THIS PLACE DOWN.
@HoustonsLenox in #ATL discriminated against me and denied my team seating today because we were a party of 7, even after we recommended splitting up to two groups of 3 & 4 with separate tables, servers and separate bills. But apparently there policy is flexible… I guess we weren’t the right hue for exceptions. #BoycottHoustons… NO DOLLARS, LEAVE BAD REVIEWS, WRITE THERE CORPORATE OFFICE & PREPARE FOR THE SHUT DOWN !!!!!
They even got proof of the incident on video (watch above). So a boycott was created and T.I. was in attendance. T.I. showed up to support all those that have been racially profiled by the restaurant. Watch the video above from T.I.
