The BET Hip Hop Awards took over Atlanta this past weekend, which means industry insiders were out in full force attending parties, getting drunk and spilling the teas. A working blogger could overhear a wealth of information, and gossip, especially when the loose lips don’t realize that a blogger is in the room.
One such conversation overheard at Frank Ski’s Restaurant and Lounge on Saturday piqued our interest. It seems that a certain national retail boutique chain, headquartered in California, has been hit repeatedly by boosters, aka shoplifters, over the years. And after having lost millions in merchandise to these self employed, five finger entrepreneurs, the store has beefed up its loss prevention staff.
One such staff member, a security specialist, told someone within earshot of us that they use a training video to educate their security personnel about the ways and methods of shoplifters.
Guess who’s all up in the training video boosting merchandise from the store on several different occasions?
It will probably be hard for you to guess who she is since she’s been retired from the shoplifting scene for some years now.
Apparently, there’s nothing she can do about editing her scene-stealing appearances out of the training video because she was caught red handed exiting the store with merchandise that she had not paid for — which is a crime. Therefore, she has no legal rights to privacy.
We’re not going to name her because she’s been through a lot. Especially with that very public divorce from an internationally known singer.
Besides that, she’s made a name for herself as a local entrepreneur and well-respected businesswoman. But it’s a shame how her past always comes back to haunt her.
