Indy Week reported that, according to Britni, Moneta said: "The words, 'I’ll eff you upside down,' are inappropriate." (We should note that the song doesn't actually say that, according to the lyrics on Genius, but does include the F word multiple times.) Britni told Indy Week that she quickly turned off the song and apologized several times; she says that she even told Moneta that he didn't have to pay for his order. She says that Moneta refused her offer, paid his bill, and walked out. Britni's co-worker, Kevin, said that he was busy making drinks but said that he observed that Moneta was upset with Britni.
About 10 minutes after Moneta left, Robbie Roberts, the owner of Joe Van Gogh, reportedly called and spoke to Britni. She explained to him what happened and apologized again. On Monday, Britni and Kevin were fired by Amanda Wiley — a human resources rep for Joe Van Gogh — and given a severance package.
"We had gotten a call from Robert Coffey [director of dining services] of Duke saying that the VP of the university had come into the shop and that there was vulgar music playing," Wiley said, in a recording obtained by Indy Week. "Joe Van Gogh is contracted by Duke University, so we essentially work for them. And they can shut us down at any point." She added: "Duke University has instructed us to terminate the employees that were working that day."
