- Brianna Pinnix from New York is (was) a high-flying recruitment specialist
- In footage, Pinnix was caught screaming ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f**k out of our country’ at a group of tourists
Brianna Pinnix, 30, worked as a senior talent acquisition specialist at Capital Rx, specializing in technology recruiting, according to her now-deleted LinkedIn page.
She’s since been fired from her position after Capital Rx said they ‘acted immediately and terminated the employee,’ after the clip of her disgusting behavior went viral.
The company said in a statement to the NY Post: ‘Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question.
‘The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt.’
Pinnix has a bachelor’s degree in communications and media studies from Marymount Manhattan College.
The recruiter has been described as ‘an absolute pleasure’ by a client.
‘I was raving about her to friends and previous coworkers, ’ the client wrote on Pinnix’s LinkedIn. ‘She is incredibly knowledgeable and so personable.’
Pinnix declined an interview request to explain her perspective and to provide context on the situation when reached by DailyMail.com.
The shocking footage showed Pinnox, who appeared drunk, towering over a group of tourists as they chatted amongst themselves in their seats.
‘Are you German?’ she asks before aggressively adding, ‘what did you say, tell me what you said.’
Pinnox becomes increasingly aggressive before shouting, ‘lets not let immigrants take up our country…how about you get the f**k out of our country.’
The Manhattan recruiter, wearing jeans and a light green strappy top, who social media user’s have dubbed a ‘Karen’, is seen being soothed by her concerned husband.
‘Brie, don’t do this. You could be arrested’ he pleads, as he takes her by the arm and tries to convince his partner that the group of men were ‘having a private conversation’ and not trying to start a conflict.
‘I love you, but get off me,’ the increasingly upset woman tells her husband as she continues to berate the tourists.
‘Stop this right now, go sit down or I’m never going to talk to you again,’ he threatens.
The tourists appeared to take the incident in good humor, with only one getting out of their seat, appearing visibly annoyed before calmly sitting back down moments later.
It’s unclear what led to the confrontation or what comments were made to the blonde woman.
After the woman is back in her seat, her companion tells her, ‘I’m an immigrant too, you know that right.’
New Jersey Transit told DailyMail.com the company ‘strongly condemns any behaviour of this type,’ and its customers are ‘encouraged to report incidents of this nature to train crew members, or they can reach out to NJ TRANSIT Police.’
Apparently, this woman can’t hold a job for very long.
Late last year, Pinnix targeted her old employer in videos posted to her now-deleted TikTok account. In one, she accused her former boss of spending all but $8 on a $300 Nordstrom gift card she says was won at a Christmas raffle. [Pinnix had various social media accounts that have since been deleted since the viral meltdown.]
‘I’ve been contemplating making this video for two months, and I’m gonna do it. I was gaslit by my former boss- I’m not gonna use names, if someone at my old company sees this, sorry. If someone at my new company sees this, sorry but it needs to be said,’ Pinnix said in the video obtained by MailOnline.com.
The New Jersey native said she confronted her boss about the video, which led to a lengthy dispute between the two.
So, I called customer service, and they’re like, “Yep, this card was used to buy two pairs of men’s shoes and a pair of men’s pants,”‘ Pinnix said.
There was a time she was ‘friends’ with her boss and had gone shopping with him and had remembered his nine-and-a-half shoe size.
A Nordstrom manager was able to tell her that her old boss did indeed use the money on the card.
When Pinnix reached out to him about the gift card, he insisted it was a gift from the company when she left and blatantly told her to ‘use it’.
‘At this point, I’m getting pretty heated,’ Pinnix said.
She then said she was going to continue the story in another post, but videos related to this matter have since been deleted from her page.
