A Chicago Girl Went Viral For Claiming She Was "Manhandled And Thrown Down 2 Flights Of Stairs" By A Bouncer At A Bar. Bar Promptly Responds With Security Cam Footage Showing The Exact Opposite. What Should Her Punishment Be?

This was going around the Chicago service industry pretty heavy yesterday. I held off on posting anything because these are obviously some serious allegations. 

But as this commenter on the tiktok pointed out, 

the accuser has shut down all of her socials and gone dark online after the bar in question, Hubbard Inn, fired back with some pretty damning evidence, defending themself.

I also wondered if this girl was just a friend of the girl in question. But she wasn't. She was talking in first person, describing something so far from what the actual security camera footage shows it's bananas.

Clearly, the fact that there are cameras EVERYWHERE filming everything nowadays was lost on her when she was concocting this story. 

Just a really bad look for this girl. You have to wonder wtf was she thinking? Is going viral in the name of conjuring up the most blatant of lies really that worth it? Do people realize the damaging shit like this does to the reputation of a place? The game of telephone is a real thing. Psychos seeing shit like this and heading on over to yelp and google reviews to destroy a place they've never even visited, in a state most don't even live in, all because they saw a totally fabricated video like this is very real. Sadly.

Are there a lot of asshole bouncers and security guards out there? 

Unequivocally, yes. Tons.

Do they also have one of the toughest, worst jobs on the planet that you couldn't pay me all the money in the world to do? Having to deal with the drunkest of assholes on a nightly basis? Yup.

Do they all get a bad wrap because of the few bad apples? 

Also, yes.

This guy in this video deserves a round of applause, and a raise for handling this the way he did. I have no idea what these girls did to deserve getting kicked out, but man did he handle it calmly.

If this was what she considered being "manhandled" (the only footage I saw of him actually physically touching her), then I don't know anything I guess.

This guy did everything by the book. 

And this girl wakes up the next day and says to herself, "you know what I'm going to do…?"

No clue where we went so off the rails as a society but I have even less of an idea how to get things back on track.

Social media, clout, and 15 minutes of fame are just more important, I guess.

I think this is a perfect time to announce another edition of Industry War Stories. If you have a horrible, terrible experience from either an employee, owner, or patron perspective, I want to hear it and blog it. You can be anonymous don't worry. Email it over to me at Dante@BarstoolSports.com
