(CNN) - Victoria's Secret has apologized to a woman who posted a widely viewed video on Facebook saying she was kicked out of an Alabama store because she is black.
Kimberly Houzah says she and another black woman were told to leave the store by someone she thought was a manager. The lingerie giant said the employee is no longer with the company.
In her video, Houzah says the incident started when a third African-American woman was allegedly accused of shoplifting on Wednesday at the store at the Quintard Mall in Oxford. The manager, Houzah says, then told her and a third black woman they needed to leave the store.
Houzah's video begins after she has been told to leave. In the background you can hear someone saying, "I just need y'all to go."
It's disgusting how we, black people, are treated in this country. The sad thing is that I can relate, because something like this has happened to me before too. Back in high school, I went to the local haunted house with my brother and cousin, and they put people in groups of seven, so we got paired with 4 white kids. You couldn't touch the performers. When we got to the back, some white kid jumped all on one of the performers (he knew her) who was laying in a casket. We all got kicked out, and my cousin (who was the oldest and was an adult) told them that we didn't even know them. These mother****ers told us, "we'll you all were in a group with them." He went OFF and we got our money back.
