Hotel chef sacked over blazing row with boyfriend after he slept with her friend
International news
A young chef who was sacked from a luxury hotel after a foul-mouthed rant at her 'cheating' boyfriend in front of shocked guests has been awarded more than £13,000 by an employment tribunal.
Abbie Garner, 21, triggered a slew of complaints when she accused colleague Dylan Bolt of sleeping with one of her friends, screaming: ‘You f****** made me love you, then you cheated on me, you c***.’
She was dismissed following a surly appearance at a disciplinary hearing where she turned up late and snapped: ‘I have apologised. What else do you want?’
But she has won a claim for disability discrimination against The Lifehouse Spa and Hotel in Thorpe-le-Soken, Essex, after arguing her ‘inability to control her anger’ was because she was suffering from anxiety and depression at the time.
The commis chef was told she would receive £13,455 in damages due to her ‘unfavourable treatment’.
