THE GRIO: Therese Duke, the white mom called out publicly by her daughter when she was seen on video being punched out by a Black woman after trying to grab her phone the day of the Capitol riots, has been FIRED from her job. Therese's daughter, Helena, has a GoFundMe set up to pay for her college, since her family had already abandoned her for supporting BLM.
We are horrified and opposed to the events at the Capitol and all who supported and incited the actions. In light of those events and for the safety of our guests and team members, we have informed the host of the Feb. fundraiser that it will no longer be held at Loews Hotels.
