*The ex-Staples employee who was fired after Sherri Shepherd went on a video rant accusing her of racial profiling is now suing the actress, as well as the media outlets that covered the story.
Janice Reyes is suing “The Wendy Williams Show” and CBS Television after its “Inside Edition” aired the video Sherri posted back in February slamming Reyes as a racist for refusing to let her and a friend use the Hollywood store’s restroom.
In docs, obtained by TMZ, Reyes says she was fired five days after Sherri’s post. Reyes claims she stopped Sherri only because her supervisor told her that the bathrooms were being fixed and to steer customers away.
Reyes claims Shepherd and her friend confronted her – calling her a liar and accusing her of racism – while she was ringing them up. Reyes admits she said, “I’m not taking this s***” and walked away.
Reyes says she was told she was getting fired for swearing, but she thinks the real reason was Sherri accusing her of racism.
She’s suing for loss of wages and other damages.
