Gibson alleges that he was a victim of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scotus-expected-to-follow-up-race-based-admissions-decision-with-new-case-on-huge-issue-at-high-schools\/\" title=\"SCOTUS to tackle major high school issue after race-based admissions ruling.\">racial \u2062discrimination<\/a> by the \u200bstore&#8217;s employees.<\/p>\n<p>Gibson filed a lawsuit recounting the incident that took place at a Home Depot in West Hills, California. Accompanied by two colleagues\u2064 working on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-to-grant-funds-for-environmental-protection-in-trump-border-wall-case\/\" title=\"Biden Admin to Fund Environmental Protection in Trump Border Wall Dispute\">construction \u200cproject<\/a>, Gibson\u200c visited the store to purchase materials. The cashier, seemingly taking an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-madison-bumgarner-held-back-by-teammates-after-bizarre-ejection\/\" title=\"WATCH: Madison Bumgarner Held Back By Teammates After Bizarre Ejection\">unusually long time<\/a> to scan \u200chis items, caught the attention of several shoppers who recognized the actor.<\/p>\n<p>Trying to avoid any unnecessary attention, Gibson\u2062 decided to let his colleagues,\u2062 Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, complete the purchase using his credit card while he waited in \u2062the car. However, the store refused to accept\u200c the card from \u200cMora\u200c and Hernandez, insisting that Gibson return inside and provide identification. Frustrated, Gibson attempted to resolve\u200c the issue through a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fast-and-furious-actor-sues-home-depot-over-alleged-racial-discrimination\/\" title=\"Fast and Furious star files lawsuit against Home Depot for alleged racial bias.\">video phone call<\/a>, but was ultimately forced to reenter the store.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, a heated discussion ensued between Gibson and the cashier, which the actor later\u2063 shared on Instagram. In the lawsuit, Gibson claims that\u2064 the actions of the\u2064 cashier and manager were discriminatory based on race and origin.<\/p>\n<p>Seeking justice, Gibson and his colleagues are\u2062 demanding $1 million in damages for the\u200d &#8220;humiliating and demeaning&#8221; encounter \u200dthey experienced. They view it as a clear\u200c example of discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling.<\/p>\n<h3>Home Depot&#8217;s Response<\/h3>\n<p>A spokesperson for\u200d Home Depot emphasized that \u200cthe company does not tolerate discrimination and made efforts to address \u2063Gibson&#8217;s concerns through legal discussions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read more from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fast and Furious star Tyrese Gibson is suing Home Depot for over $1 million, claiming racial discrimination by store employees.
