Ellis Hillon now faces sack from McDonald's over racist tweets
 

yeah looks like going on Big Brother was a mistake

So she's not even owning up to them and apologising instead she's being defensive and trying to pass the blame to her siblings. Have fun at the jobcenter sis

Ha life is over

Whatever she said was wrong but i hope the person who found the tweets is utterly ashamed with themselves because their jealousy is ruining someones life

McDonald's told the Mirror: "We do not comment on individual employees but can confirm we are looking into these alleged social media posts."

But...this IS commenting on an individual employee!

I feel quite sorry for the girl now tbh. Whichever person was sad enough to hunt her social media may have now got her sacked from the job she had (even if it is just mcdonalds) and may make it hard for her to find work anywhere else too. Because of some twitter posts.

rip

.

Like CH5TV
McD. will not allow a Racist (who is in the Papers now)
work there


Twitter - never use your real name

oop it was her sister who tweeted those things. my bad

Lock your twitters girlies?

I was literally about to say this. You recovering racist need to lock it up!

“Ellis caused controversy on launch night when she flashed her bum on her entrance into the house.“

why are these articles always so ****ing sexist like this isn’t even relevant

She might have to downgrade to Burger King now :worry:

We all know she is trash, but this thing about people's lives being ruined because of something they posted years ago is just getting ridiculous.

And it doesn't make any sense. An admitted criminal arsonist is in the house. Hopkins was allowed in. Even Rodrigo was allowed to stay after using the N word.

:drool:

This is ridiculous. Unless her social media directly links her to her job as well they shouldn't be allowed legally to fire her...
But also... let a person grow and evolve already. Let her put her past behind her and move forward. Not being able to find work and being lambasted by media are not going to lead to progress. Society is going to push this kid over the edge... and then who will take responsibility for her suicide?

ew not burger ming

Yeah, I'm not sure that legally you can fire someone for something they said while they were a minor, years before they even started working for you. She needs to lawyer up and seek advice.

I certainly wouldn't take that lying down.

Her to change her name to Ellis Hillon Valentine like our Emily did?

Like others have said, I feel a bit sorry for her. What she tweeted was absolutely ridiculous but I myself have looked back at my Facebook when I was around 15/16 and even though it wasn't anywhere near as offensive as what Ellis posted, I said things that I would definitely not say now.

It's a really hard situation because the tweets are actually inexcusable but she was young and would hopefully never dream about saying them things now. But now her life is literally ruined and it's going to be very hard to come back from this

I mean they wern't joking when they told us in school to be careful what we post online

..this is where BB have to take some responsibility for things like this as well...if they had done some basic checks into things like housemate’s tweets, all basic things that are available to the public so easily as this seemed to have been with Ellis....?...then they could have made the decision to not put her into the house and not revealed why...and nothing would have impacted onto her personal life in such a way...

I think this is actually really sad. She was 14, we all make mistakes.

It's pretty gross people want her fired.

I believe her firing will be more justified than Salmans

...huh..?...our Salman, Germyle..?..

Their Salman, yes :idc:

As for the subject... I think in a professional environment you should have the right to privacy with social media and not have your tweets scrutinised, but I think you surrender that right the second you decide to step in the public eye. Silly girl.

...she didn’t step into the public eye though until BB made a decision to accept her as a housemate without checking any basic social media history, I presume...and then they’ve made the decision to immediately step her out of the public eye because of their inability to do basic checks...:I don’t care drinking coffee smiley as well inserted:...

...and ok, I didn’t know anything about Salman losing his job or for the reason why that happened...and I’m a bit stunned tbh...

I’m not entirely convinced McDonalds have a leg to stand on here. BB yes, because she’s in the public eye, but who the hell cares about the beliefs of the person typing your burger order into the till?

BigSack?

possibly for her safety also :shrug: i'm sure everyone in her town will know her now and i'm sure there's a lot that are extremely offended by her tweets regardless of her age. I am not sure myself whether she should have been removed from the house but because she has been, I think McDonals did the obvious thing

What does Luke S have to do with this?

..it really is a mess up by BB that’s quite unforgivable ...what she said was awful but may have been a stance she may have readdressed and revisited but now it’s something which will be very difficult for her to do that with ...what they did with their lack of input of any basic history check is quite dangerous imo...

I've read one of these tweets though... It was not just a nasty comment, it was slagging of all Pakistani people calling them smelly and saying how many of them are out to cause another 9/11 attack...

That's not just a stupid comment

A bit ridiculous now how this girl's life is being ruined because the show couldn't take a few minutes to scroll through her twitter

What is it then?

by a child

did you ever say anything stupid as a kid?

Correct me if i'm wrong but the **** the pope and the IRA are much more recent ??

And for all we know, as a child she may have been surrounded by such views. I don't think anyone can hold something like that against a child. Minors are minors for a reason. If she isn't old enough to do everything else, then why are we holding her views to the same standard as an adult's?
