ENDAVEOR FOR JERMAINE DUPRI HAS FAILED. FIRST HIS FORAY INTO VODKA BUSINESS NOW THIS CAFE DUPRI. READ THE FOLLOWING REPORT FROM SOHH HOMIE GYANT ABOUT IT.
Jermaine Dupri is in the news today and this time it’s got nothing to do with his lavish parties or superstar girlfriend. This time it’s got to do with shocking allegations from JD’s former restaurant staff employees. Find out what’s really hood below.
Jermaine Dupri’s highly touted Buckhead eatery is dead center in a recession controversy. According to WSB-TV the music mogul’s bistro, Café Dupri has closed it doors. But there’s just one problem…nobody told the employees. [Watch Video Here]
Café Dupri has closed it doors indefinitely. After months of problems it seems that the best decision was to just end the business venture. However, allegations of worker abuse is receiving most of the media coverage.
Several workers are complaining that they’ve gone as far as several weeks without collecting a paycheck. And to add insult to injury some are even claiming that they were suddenly forced to sign confidentiality agreements barring them from discussing anything about the restaurant to anyone.
I've heard about the shady business practices over at Café Dupri for the past 3 months. I’ve gotten numerous emails from employees who were putting JD’s mom Tina on blast complaining about abusive working conditions and unpaid salaries.
I figured they were just some hatin’ ass ex-employees who were bitter and decided to pay it no mind. But after watching the video it would appear that somethings going on. How do you explain closing down a company and not telling the employees? How do you explain several bounced employee checks? But most importantly how do you force employees to sign a confidentiality agreement when you're about to go out of business?
Tina insists that all the employees were paid. And if that’s true then there shouldn’t be one employee that has a returned NSF check from Café Dupri, right?
