A Black TikToker has exposed a white financial advisor who requested that no Black applicants be brought in for interviews.
TikTok star Denise Bradly, who goes by AuntKaren0, was given an internal email written by financial advisor Eileen Cure. In the email, Cure states, “I specifically said no Blacks” and said that interviewing anyone Black for a job is a “complete waste of my time.” While she states that she is not racist, Cure pointed out that the majority of her clients are white and ” I need to cater to them.”
Bradly used the messages to create a TikTok video, which she shared with her over one million followers.
Once the clip went viral, Cure was fired from her position as affiliated advisor for LPL Financial, the biggest independent broker-dealer in the country. The company said they’d investigated the claims before severing ties with Cure in a statement regarding her termination.
Following her termination, Cure called the claims in the clip “false and defamatory.” She revealed that she is currently considering taking legal action against Bradly.
She went on to add that the commentary has resulted in “threats of violence and bodily harm” towards her. However, Bradly says that Cure’s husband threatened to “put her in a grave” for exposing his wife.
It remains unknown if the individual who leaked the information to Bradly has been identified and if they are subject to the potential legal action that Cure is exploring.
