Award-Winning Chef FIRED After Mocking Influencer’s “Small Following”

Описание: A San Francisco wine bar is shutting down after a viral TikTok exposed a micro-influencer’s emotional experience during a collaboration. The creator, Karla (@itskarlabb on TikTok), described leaving the restaurant in tears after the owner allegedly questioned and belittled her "small following" of 15,000. Despite not naming the business, users quickly identified the establishment as Kis Cafe along with its co-owner and chef, Luke Sung — who was once nominated for a James Beard Award over two decades ago

Backlash was swift and widespread, hitting the restaurant’s Yelp page, Instagram, and even the TikTok of Sung’s daughter, a popular influencer herself. Kis Cafe soon issued a public apology, confirming Sung was no longer affiliated with the business and announcing plans to close and restructure.

Karla has since gained over 200,000 new followers, brand opportunities, and posted a follow-up video thanking supporters and addressing the online harassment that followed.
