According to a lawsuit, a restaurant manager came to the group’s table and told the couple to leave because “they smelled like weed.”
A Black couple who were kicked out of a Memphis restaurant in 2022 for allegedly smelling like marijuana filed a federal racial discrimination lawsuit last week against the eatery.
Bass and Brown didn’t initially react and thought Hollins, was talking to someone else because they knew they did not smell like marijuana, the suit said. What was supposed to be a “great family outing” was “ruined,” Moore said. His clients were discriminated against because they are Black, Moore said, with the marijuana accusation being “Jim Crow era 2.0 — a new way to discriminate" in the restaurant industry.
A representative for Hillstone Restaurant Group did not immediately respond to a question about whether Hollins was still an employee.reported another Black couple, a police officer and a high school principal, were asked to leave the restaurant by a female manager who also accused them of smelling like pot.
