Should she have been suspended?
Yes
It was PC to suspend her, so yes.
We are always being watched, but those in the public eye are watched even closer. Only certain social groups are not held accountable now days.
It was really dumb to look into the camera and continue her rant.
If it would have been one comment I don't think it would have been a big deal, but she degraded the poor woman in every way she could think of. Lost lots of respect for her
Apparently she was provoked (does not excuse her behavior). The company shopped the video around to the highest bidder.

Complaints Against Advanced Towing Continue to Pile Up

Yeah, not being able to hear what the attendant was saying was curious.Originally Posted by sportdawg
...I forgot to give points for the big word.
No, she shouldn't be suspended. She was pissed her car was towed. Big deal. Who should be suspended is the asshole who shared the tape.
It's time to close the doors to the Temple of Janus.
I am trying to think of a law she broke. Anything? She got mad and showed her butt. You can dislike her if you want. Maybe that is who she is most of the time and all she did was show her true colors. I don't think suspension is warranted. That doesn't mean that I am defending what she said because it was hateful and tasteless. In this situation, you should choose to ignore, unfollow, and/or not do business with this person if her actions upset you that badly.
Sorry, don't mean to derail the thread by asking this, but...........
If you refuse to conduct business with Britt, are you then discriminating against a protected class? I can't keep up with how many protected classes there are now. I am sure her class(a-hole) is probably protected.
She lacks almost all that's necessary to be a protected class. As you know stupid is not something that allows one to be included. The qualifications for not being held accountable are...
-Liberal
-Black
-Female
-Gay
-Proud non-Christian
-Anti-Gun
Any of the above not met puts a person in question by CNN, MSNBC, and the remaining drive by media. BTW, ESPN is part of the drive by media.
Female- not so much anymore. You have to have female along with one of your other categories to be considered.
Yes, that's why I put female in the middle. Conservative, straight, Christian, females are totally ignored and bushed off by the drive by medial types.
Very true. But I would still suspend her and then put her to work somewhere behind the scenes until she grows up for another shot or quits.
She's not impressive at all and her elitist, liberal, Hollywood type attitude will spew forth again in the future.
I have never heard of the woman until this incident. I still don't understand how being angry about her car being towed is national news.
