A video documenting the disturbing incident on a New Jersey Transit train has gone viral, showing the woman, identified as Brianna Pinnix, berating a group of German tourists before yelling, “Get the fuck out of our country.” The video, which surfaced on Reddit, led to Pinnix being fired from her job at Capital Rx, a World Trade Center-based pharmaceutical benefits manager.
In the video, a visibly drunk Pinnix aggressively deals with tourists, repeatedly demanding an explanation for his actions. Despite her boyfriend’s attempts to defuse the situation, Pinnix continues her tirade, escalating to physical violence as she lightly punches one of the tourists. “Brie, Brie, don’t do it, don’t do it, you’re going to get arrested,” her boyfriend pleaded. “I can handle mine,” she said. “Brie, please stop this. Stop it or I will never talk to you again,” he warned. “I love you, but get off me,” she replied.
Pinnix’s boyfriend was able to put her back in her place because he told her he was an immigrant too. “You know I’m an immigrant, I’m an immigrant too, you know that, right?” He said. “Yeah… but I’m responsible for you so it’s okay,” she said. Onlookers expressed shock and disapproval at their interaction, with one passenger heard saying: “That’s rude.”
Capital Rx acted quickly, terminating Pinnix after reviewing the video. A company spokesperson said: “Our company has a zero tolerance policy for prejudice or discriminatory behaviour. After conducting an inspection of the circumstances, we acted immediately and fired the employee in question.” “The former employee’s actions and words do not represent Capital Rx and we offer our sincere apologies to those who were hurt,” they added.
The incident drew widespread condemnation on social media platforms. Many viewers expressed concern for Pinnix’s boyfriend and urged him to end the relationship. The video sparked discussions about the importance of fighting xenophobia and promoting tolerance in society.
Pinnix’s behavior, caught on video, has sparked conversations about the need for cultural understanding and empathy, even in moments of frustration. As the video continues to circulate online, it serves as a reminder of the ongoing work needed to combat prejudice and promote inclusivity within communities.
Pinnix did not respond to requests for comment, leaving many to wonder if she would apologize for her actions.
