Best Buy Employee Wrongly 'Outed' Denver Man
A heterosexual man in Denver claims that a Best Buy employee wrongly "outed" him on Facebook after he left his phone for repair.
Rich Dewberry said he brought in his mobile device to get fixed and was given a new phone. Shortly afterward, his Facebook status read, "I am gay, I'm coming out."
"The phone just started ringing constantly after that from [an] ex-spouse to friends," he told ABC's Denver affiliate, KMGH.
Dewberry said he was logged into his Facebook account on the phone he left with the store.
"I feel I have been humiliated. My reputation has been tarnished," he said.
"Just having to explain it to certain people that I haven't been in contact for a while," he said. "I feel I shouldn't have to do that."
Dewberry filed a complaint with the store, which told him the employee was fired, he said.
Best Buy provided a statement to KMGH:
"Each year, every employee of Best Buy is asked to review and sign our Code of Ethics, which includes details on how they are expected to handle customer information."
