A gay employee of Applebees in Rice Lake was brutally bashed by the husband of a co-worker, then told by the restaurants manager he could not return to work due to publicity surrounding the incident, he said.
Timothy Phares subsequently did return to his job as a server after Greg Flynn, CEO of Apple American Group franchise, intervened on his behalf.
According to Phares and his sister Krista katherine, they were getting out of his car in the parking lot of a Perkins restaurant on March 17 when Rien Hendricks and his wife Shannon Hendricks pulled up behind them in an SUV.
(Hendricks) was getting out of his vehicle, and he said, Fucking faggot, Im going to kill you, Phares said.
