A woman has lost her job and, at least temporarily, the respect of her boyfriend after she “lost it” on a New York train. The woman, who’s been identified as 30-year-old Brianna Pinnix from New Jersey, was shamed on social media after she was filmed xenophobically ranting at a group of tourists. In the clip, that was posted to Reddit on Wednesday, Pinnix, who was allegedly drunk at the time, can be heard asking the strangers if they’re “German or something” before furiously demanding: “What did you say? Tell me what you said.” Her partner repeatedly attempts to calm her, telling her: “Brie, do not do this, do not this, you’re going to get arrested.” He tries to pull her away as she aggressively leans into one of the men’s faces, but she shakes herself free, telling him: “I can handle my own.” Ramping up his pleas, he tells her: “Stop this, or I’m never going to talk to you again.” But, again dismissing him, she replies: “Baby, I love you, but…” Reddit - Dive into anything from iamatotalpieceofshit She continues to insist that the unknown man had “said something” about her, but her boyfriend (again repeatedly) stresses that he hadn’t and that he’d simply been having a “personal conversation.” However, she remains unconvinced and continues to antagonise the stranger. Meanwhile, onlookers can be heard getting increasingly riled up by the display, with one man, off-camera, saying: “Women in 2023 – we allow them to be thinking they’re the man.” So, all in all, not the kind of carriage any right-minded person would want to travel in. Eventually, Pinnix’s boyfriend manages to coax her back to her seat but, not finished, she then yells “f**king immigrants.” “You know I’m an immigrant, I’m an immigrant, too, you know that, right?” her partner points out. Laughing light-heartedly she replies: “Yeah, but I’m responsible for you so it’s OK.” Yet, still, she’s not done with the tourists. After being goaded by a fellow passenger to “hit” the object of her ire with “a right hook,” she attempts to march back over to the group. So, again, her boyfriend tries to restrain her but, sadly, he can’t stop her from shouting: “How about you get the f**k out of our country.” Inevitably, Pinnix didn’t get away with the stomach-churning display, and it soon emerged that she had been fired from her job at a major pharmaceutical company. A spokesperson for Capital Rx, where the 30-year-old had been working as a talent acquisition specialist, told the New York Post: “Our company has a zero-tolerance policy around prejudicial or discriminatory behavior. “After conducting a review of the circumstances, we acted immediately and terminated the employee in question.” They then added: “The former employee’s actions and words are not representative of Capital Rx, and we offer our sincerest apology to those who were hurt.” Meanwhile, other social media accounts linked to her name, including a LinkedIn profile, have been taken down since the footage went viral. Now, the internet is waiting for her to respond.

The best hope for a toddler missing in France is that “he’s been kidnapped and is alive,” the local mayor has said. Emile vanished from his maternal grandparents’ home in the quiet village of Le Vernet in the Alpes-des-Haute-Provence on Saturday and has not been seen since. After he was reported missing, a massive search operation to locate the two-year-old was launched but police admitted they had “no clue” what happened to Emile after five days of combing every part of Le Vernet. The physical search was called off on Thursday, after a final road was raked for clues about the boy’s whereabouts. In a new interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Francois Balique has commented on the rescue efforts, that involved a helicopter broadcasting the voice of Emile’s mother over the region, the “curse” of the hamlet, and possible explanations for Emile’s disappearance. Mr Balique, who has been Le Vernet’s mayor since 1977, was asked about the likelihood of finding Emile alive – considering the boy’s age and the number of days that have passed since he was last seen. He responded: “Our only hope now is that he’s been taken and is alive. It’s the last thing we can hope for and it’s already terrible. “We could consider that someone wanting to cause harm to a child passed by the area, that he saw this beautiful little boy and took him away. He couldn’t survive alone in the wild, that’s for sure.” Elsewhere, Mr Balique said he never believed Emile’s disappearance to be a “sordid kidnapping because we see all the people who frequent the area”, adding that a “foreign car would have been noticed”. “It is difficult to favour one hypothesis over another,” he cautioned. “But the probabilities and the rationality would lead us to believe that we are dealing with an accident. “And since little Emile’s body has not been found, it means that he was not alone at the time. We can consider a car accident in which the driver would have panicked and concealed the body. That’s one hypothesis.” He also said the people of Haut-Vernet know that there are children in the area, and “they are careful on the road”. When asked about calling off the physical search for Emile, Mr Balique, 74, said the French military police (or the gendarmes) combed a combined area of one hundred hectares, “which is enormous”. “We did everything we could to find the child, alive or not. We found nothing,” he said. Locals speaking to the media in the wake of Emile’s disappearance said they wondered whether their hamlet may be “cursed” as a result of the tragedies which have taken place, including the murder of a cafe manager and a deadly plane crash. When asked about the “curse”, Mr Balique said “what is curious” are the facts of Emile’s disappearance – “not that it happened here”. Since the physical search was called off on Thursday, local prosecutor Remy Avon said investigators would now start sorting through all the evidence that has been collected to find new clues about what happened to the toddler. During a press conference on Friday, Mr Balique confirmed the last teams of gendarmes had left the village.
