Brown continued, “I apologize to the LGBT community for diverting attention from real issues. I also want to apologize to my partner, my family, my church family, and my attorney.”

Whole Foods immediately fought back against Brown's accusations, filing a $100,000 defamation suit. The company released surveillance video from the market showing Brown purchasing the cake and said it stood behind its team member. [Source]
