Witness Account of the Assault
Alejandro Sanchez, a witness who recorded the incident, claimed that Taco Bell staff seemed more concerned about him filming the confrontation than addressing the security guard’s violent behavior. Sanchez raised concerns about whether the woman had been singled out due to her appearance.
He described the situation, stating, “The security guard was telling her to leave, and she didn’t want to because she was ordering food. Then he just went off, and she started going crazy. He slapped the s–t out of her. It was crazy. Everybody was shocked.”
Throughout the incident, other customers in the restaurant largely refrained from stepping in. The woman was seen arguing with the security guard before being escorted out of the establishment.
As of now, Taco Bell has yet to issue an official statement about the incident.
Social media reactions to the video have been mixed. One user questioned the justification for the slap, stating, “Really? Just walked up and slapped her for NO reason? Not buying it.” Another user called for more context, saying, “We need to know what happened before that can you give us some context?”
