Crystal Wilsey, the Cinnabon employee in Wisconsin who was fired after a viral video showed her calling two Somali customers a racist slur, made a bizarre claim while being questioned by police following the incident.
According to police body camera footage from Ashwaubenon Department of Public Safety, obtained by TMZ, Wilsey told an officer that she was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder when asked to provide her side of the story.
"They came here and harassed me. I have PTSD," she said. "They knew exactly that I was ill. This is not the first time."
When asked to elaborate on her harassment claim, Wilsey could not provide further details.
"I don’t know. They started threatening me," she responded. "I don’t know. I have no idea."
"So, you don't know how they threatened you?" the officer can be heard asking, to which she answered, with a smile, "No."
Wilsey maintained that she was the one who was treated poorly, adding, "This is a set-up."
After the officer told her that she could either cooperate or be arrested for disorderly conduct, Wilsey fired back, "For what? Are you kidding me? I have PTSD, and they came to me."
In a video posted on TikTok earlier this month, Wilsey is seen telling to two Somali customers, "I am racist and you are a n*****."
She continued, "I am racist and I'll say it to the whole entire world. Don't be disrespectful."
Since her termination from Cinnabon, supporters have raised over $150,000 for Wilsey on GiveSendGo.
