AUSTIN (KXAN) — The lawsuit against Whole Foods for writing a gay slur on a cake has been withdrawn.
Jordan Brown apologized to the company for using “the media to perpetuate this story.” He said the company did nothing wrong and he wants to apologize for questioning their values, and the bakery associate he accused in the lawsuit.
In light of Brown’s apology Whole Foods has decided to drop their counter-suit. A spokesperson said “We’re very pleased that the truth has come to light. Given Mr. Brown’s apology and public admission that his story was a complete fabrication, we see no reason to move forward with our counter suit.”
Brown also apologized for diverting attention away from “real” LGBTQ issues. He ended his statement apologizing to his partner, family, church, and attorney.
