Apparently, the undercover NYPD officers they hired as their Loss Prevention contractors have clairvoyant powers. It's amazing how the cops seem to know EXACTLY what each individual bought BEFORE they showed the items to them. Lol
Barneys CEO Mark Lee publicly apologized to two black shoppers – but insisted “no one” at the luxe retailer racially profiled the pair.
“No one, and I mean no individual, should go through the unacceptable experiences described by Trayon Christian and Kayla Phillips,” Lee said Tuesday after an hour-long sitdown with the Rev. Al Sharpton at the Harlem headquarters of his National Action Network. “We offer our deepest sympathies to both of them.”
Sharpton and his National Action Network demanded a face-to-face with Barneys brass– and threatened to put shopping at the high-end retailer “on hold” — after Christian and Phillips accused Barneys of sending cops to question and detain them after they made big-ticket buys at the Manhattan flagship.
Christian, 19, said he was held in April after buying a $349 designer belt. Phillips, 21, said she was accused of credit card fraud in February after she bought a $2,500 handbag.
Lee said Tuesday his company has a “zero tolerance” discrimination policy and didn’t single out Phillips or Christian.
“Our preliminary investigation has concluded that, in both of these instances, no one from Barneys New York raised any issue with these purchases,” Lee said.
“No one from Barneys brought them to the attention of our internal security, and no one from Barneys reached out to external authorities.”
Asked if he was blaming the NYPD for the alleged profiling, Lee said, “I can only speak to what we know from the preliminary investigation.”
Sounds like a loophole. "WE" didn't stop them...NYPD "did". Uh huh.Not only did NYPD know exactly what each person bought beforehand, but they knew HOW the items were paid for AND were able to find Trayon blocks away from the store. Nice try Barney's.
Barney's knew what they were doing, and were involved. Now they're attempting to shift the blame to NYPD. If they were staunch on any wrongdoing, one would have denied any wrong doing from the very beginning.
Isn't there a hispanic babymama somewhere needing your attention?
Insinuating that I've got a hispanic baby mama out there or that I like hispanic baby mamas? Because I can assure you that I am not dumb enough to not use a rubber if smashing out a lady of that ilk...

So, you're a liar then?
Cause I remember you saying how you date hispanic women with kids and then dump them once they want something serious with you or want to move in.
Are you gonna say this was a lie??
Yes, it's good that you're using a condom not to breed more of yourself.

NYPD already said in the first article with Trayon that someone from Barneys called them that Trayon's card was "suspicious". They didn't follow him all the way to the subway for just being black.
