Rophe of the Carolinas, a home healthcare company for the elderly and disabled in Wilmington, North Carolina, recently made headlines after firing Lilly Gaddis, a controversial TikToker.
Lilly was terminated after a video surfaced of her using a racial slur on TikTok.
Terry Lindo, the proud owner of Rophe, made the decision to sack Lilly Gaddis after the video went viral. In a statement released by the company, it was mentioned that Lilly’s remarks on social media did not align with the values and beliefs of the organization.
Rophe of the Carolinas emphasized that they are owned and operated by African American female and immigrant-owned business, and they do not condone or support such behavior.
Since Lilly’s termination, Terry Lindo has faced a backlash from online trolls, with many using racial slurs against her and her team. Despite this, Terry remains unfazed and has decided to move on from the incident.
