3-year-old Victoria Wilcher from Jackson, Missouri, was left scarred after she was attacked by a dog whilst staying at her grandmother’s house in April.
Her family decided to visit their local KFC with Victoria, who is still being fed through a tube.
Rather than enjoying a family treat at the popular fast food chain, they were asked to leave the restaurant when workers feared her scars ‘scared’ other diners.
Victoria’s mother fought back, posting to Facebook: ‘Does this face look scary to you? Last week at KFC in Jackson MS this precious face was asked to leave because her face scared the other diners. I personally will never step foot in another KFC again and will be personally writing the CEO.’
KFC released a statement since the incident reading: ‘Please accept our sincere apologies while we try to investigate this incident.’
‘We have zero tolerance for any kind of disrespectful behaviour by our team members.’
‘Once we have further details, we will immediately investigate this and take action, and we wish nothing but the best for Victoria in her recovery.’
