  • Pink Sauce Creator Claims She’s Penniless After Being ‘Financially Sabotaged’ by Dave’s Gourmet, Company Insists $120,00 Paid

    Pink Sauce Creator Claims She’s Penniless After Being ‘Financially Sabotaged’ by Dave’s Gourmet, Company Insists $120,00 Paid

    Controversy surrounds Walmart‘s Pink Sauce, a popular condiment born from TikTok, reports Insider. Created by Chef Pii, also known as Veronica Shaw, the sauce faced safety concerns and complaints about incorrect labels and damaged bottles upon its 2022 launch. 

    In January, Shaw partnered with Dave’s Gourmet to release a shelf-stable version of the sauce, adhering to FDA guidelines and selling for $8 at Walmart. While sales figures remain undisclosed, TikTokers noticed the sauce quickly going on clearance, although it is now being sold at its original retail price on Walmart’s website. 

    In a recent TikTok video, Shaw claimed to have sold around 200,000 units. However, she took a different tone online last week, launching a GoFundMe campaign to raise $100,000 for herself. Although she didn’t directly name Dave’s Gourmet, she expressed her belief that a company is attempting to undermine her success.

    “They lied to me,”

    she wrote in the GoFundMe description, which has raised just $921 to date.

    “They are not paying me and are not being transparent about records. I have tried on multiple occasions to try and come to one accord with them but they refuse to reimburse me for marketing expenses that I spent my own funds towards….They are refusing to pay me the royalty that is owed to me.”

    Shaw claimed in her GoFundMe that she is a single mother struggling to provide food and clothes for her children, living on $20 a day and facing eviction. Dave’s Gourmet, when contacted, expressed disagreement with Shaw’s account of the situation.

    “We disagree with Ms. Shaw’s allegations,”

    a company spokesperson said.

    “Dave’s Gourmet has paid Chef Pii over $120,000 to date and it continues to make all payments as due and on time based upon the terms of the contract.”

    Dave added in a statement,

    “We’ve offered to reimburse Ms. Shaw for her lawyer’s time to go over the terms of the agreement and how it relates to the payments that were made to Ms. Shaw… She indicated that she’s open to an amicable resolution of the dispute and the parties are in discussions.”

    Walmart Worker Arrested After Fatally Shooting Customer Who Attempted to Break-Up Fight

    An off-duty Walmart worker was arrested for fatally shooting a customer in front of his family after the man attempted to stop an altercation between him and a female store employee, officials said per the NY Post. 

    Florida resident, Tironie Sterling, 22, was taken into custody on Tuesday for the shooting death of 41-year-old Thierry Bastien. The suspect is accused of getting into an altercation with a female employee at a Fort Lauderdale Walmart. 

    According to investigators, Sterling showed up at the Lauderdale Lakes store at 2 p.m. during his off-hours to meet with his female colleague. The two reportedly got into a verbal argument that led to a fight. Sterling allegedly dropped his handgun onto the floor during the altercation and tried to

    “snatch”

    the woman’s phone. Arrest reports reveal that Sterling insisted the woman show him text messages on her phone to which she declined. Sterling then allegedly began to push the woman into the shelves.

    The victim shouted for help but was not assisted by colleagues or Samaritans walking by, according to the report. That is when good Samaritan, Thierry Bastien, stepped in to help the woman and got into a scuffle with Sterling. During the brawl, investigators said Sterling picked up his gun from the ground and shot Bastien multiple times,

    “hitting him in the chest, back, and lower extremities,”

    reports reveal. 

    Family members said Bastien was in the store with his girlfriend and his two children, including an infant at the time.

    “I had the baby in my hand,”

    Bastien’s girlfriend, told the news station Local 10. She said she witnessed her boyfriend get shot six times.

    “I was like ‘no, please, even if it’s for the baby,’ and he stood over him and shot him,”

    she recalled.

    Sterling fled the scene but was later apprehended at an apartment complex a mile south of the Walmart, according to the outlet. Sterling faces charges of murder

    “while engaged in a certain felony offense and robbery by sudden snatching with a firearm or weapon.”

    He appeared in court Wednesday and was ordered held without bond.

  • Bible Teacher At Christian Private School Arrested For Having Sex With Student

    Bible Teacher At Christian Private School Arrested For Having Sex With Student

    An Alabama man who worked as both a Bible teacher and soccer coach has been arrested and charged for having an ongoing sexual relationship with a student, CBS 12 News reported.

    On Monday night, concerned parents notified police in Mobile, Alabama that they could not find their 16-year-old daughter. She had told them that she was going to a local Walmart for school supplies, and then was nowhere to be found.

    “She hadn’t returned in an hour and a half, so they went out, found her car, but did not find her daughter in the car,” said Lieutenant Mark Bailey of the Mobile County Sheriff’s Office. “They went inside the Walmart, and could not locate their daughter, so they became very concerned.”

    Soon after, police spotted the missing teen walking back to her car and questioned her about her previous whereabouts. After speaking with officers, the 16-year-old confessed that she had met her teacher in the Walmart parking lot, drove to a different parking lot, and had sex in his car. She later admitted that they had been engaging in sexual acts for months, usually in his car, but occasionally at his home.

    44-year-old Jonathan Sauers, an employee at Christian school The Faith Academy, was arrested and charged with one count of a school employee sex act and one count of a school employee sexual contact with a student under 19. The child sexual predator is currently being held in police custody, and is scheduled to appear in court for his bond hearing on Thursday.
