A witness who was at the Chipotle restaurant throughout the Darius Leonard occurrence tells TMZ Sports … the NFL star did nothing incorrect and insists Leonard was racially profiled.
The witness talked to us on the condition of privacy– however we were able to confirm the person was at the South Carolina area at the time of Thursdays event.
The witness states Leonard was peacefully enjoying his meal with his party and NEVER trash-talked the other client– who had actually complained to management about Leonards group being aggressive and rowdy.
Were told the Indianapolis Colts superstar appeared upset when the manager asked his group to leave– but he never ever lost his cool.
Were informed after leaving the dining establishment, Leonard went back inside to describe to the manager why he thought the situation was unfair and racially encouraged.
Our witness says Leonard was respectful and respectful throughout the interaction with the supervisor.
Afterward, Leonard went to IG and called the man out– saying hes ill of being dealt with like a criminal just because hes Black.
After Leonard went public, were told the shop commissioned an armed guard to man the front door as a precautionary step.
As we previously reported, Chipotles CEO personally reached out to Leonard and promised a thorough investigation into the occurrence.
The supervisor has actually been suspended pending the outcome of the probe.
