3-yr-old Thrown Out Of KFC Outlet Because Her ‘Face Was Scaring Diners’

A 3-year-old girl whose face was scarred in a dog attack was asked to leave a KFC outlet in the US after an employee said her face was “scaring the other diners.”

Victoria Wilcher’s family were so upset they took to Facebook to express their anger at the Jackson, Mississippi restaurant.

“Does this face look scary to you?” the family wrote on a page called Victoria’s Victories. “Last week at KFC in Jackson MS this precious face was asked to leave because her face scared the other diners.”

Victoria’s grandmother, Kelly Mullins told WAPT that the toddler was on a feeding tube at the time after being attacked in April by three of her grandfather’s pit bulls.

The dogs mauled her before turning on her grandfather, Donald Mullins and his girlfriend, Rita Tompkins. He was forced to shoot the animals, killing two of them.

Victoria suffered a broken jaw, broken cheekbones and eyesockets and a broken nose. She lost her right eye and the ability to move the right side of her face.

“I took her to the doctor and I went to KFC,” Mrs Mullins said. “I ordered a large sweet tea and her some mashed potatoes and gravy because she was hungry. She was on a feeding tube at the time, but I figured she could just swallow (the potatoes).’

“They said, ‘We have to ask you to leave because her face is disrupting our customers’. (Victoria) understood exactly what they said.”

“Now when we go somewhere, she don’t want to get out,” Mrs Mullins said.

KFC spokesman Rick Maynard told WAPT that they had launched an investigation into the incident.

“We take this very seriously, as we have zero tolerance for any kind of hurtful or disrespectful actions toward our guests. Our investigation is ongoing, but we will make things right for this beautiful little girl and her family, and will work with the franchisee to take appropriate action at the restaurant,” he said.

Victoria’s grandfather and his girlfriend were charged with child endangerment and their eight other pit bulls were seized by animal welfare.
