A Kentucky woman is suing Texas Roadhouse for “extreme and severe emotional distress” after a restaurant employee tried to cover up her child’s face while she was breastfeeding.
Sadie Durbin of Louisville filed the lawsuit late Monday evening. In the lawsuit, she recalled the Nov. 15 incident.
While dining at a Texas Roadhouse in St. Matthews, David Mitchell, the restaurant employee named in the lawsuit, “approached (Durbin) and her infant child with a napkin, in an attempt to cover the infant child’s face and (Durbin’s) breast.”
Durbin said the move was “offensive and unwanted,” in the lawsuit.
A Facebook message left for Mitchell was not returned. A lawsuit only represents one side in a legal case.
“He’s a 20-year employee … other guests were complaining about Ms. Durbin,” said Travis Doster, a spokesperson for Texas Roadhouse. “He was trying to find a compromise between guests.”
Doster said Mitchell will return to work soon. He noted that Mitchell received death threats after Durbin posted about the incident on social media.
Doster said last week that Mitchell was taking paid time off for the way he handled the situation.
