A Texas pastor who accused a Whole Foods in Austin of writing an anti-gay slur on a cake he ordered has now recanted and admitted he made the entire thing up.
Jordan Brown said in April that he had ordered a cake with the message “love wins” written on it, but when he went to pick up the cake, it said, “love wins f*g.” Here’s a still from the video he shared on YouTube last month:
Whole Foods filed a counter suit to the one Brown had filed against them, saying the cake decorator did not write the anti-gay slur on the cake.
Brown told local media earlier today:
“The company did nothing wrong. I was wrong to pursue this matter and use the media to perpetuate this story.
“I want to apologize to Whole Foods and its team members for questioning the company’s commitment to its values.”
In a statement, Whole Foods said they were glad to see the truth had “come to light” on the matter, and they added:
“Given Mr. Brown’s apology and public admission that his story was a complete fabrication, we see no reason to move forward with our counter suit to defend the integrity of our brand and team members.”
