Restaurant shuts down after chef insults TikTok influencer, prompting outrage: 'Still shaking'
A San Francisco restaurant recently closed its doors after an influencer shared a viral encounter she had with the restaurant's chef. The eatery, Kis Café, closed down last week, according to its own Instagram post. A TikTok creator named Karla — who doesn't share her last name but goes by the handle @itskarlabb — alleged that the restaurant's chef, Luke Sung, belittled her during an interaction. "I'm still shaking and I feel so frazzled, but I just left a restaurant collaboration crying," the creator said in the viral video, which has racked up some 22 million views to date. Since the video went viral, Karla's follower count shot up to over 400,000 – but before, she said, she only had 15,000. During a collaboration with the restaurant, Karla said Sung – who also co-owns Kis Café – approached her and asked who she was. When he pulled up her account, the chef allegedly scoffed at Karla's perceived lack of influence. "This guy pulls up my TikTok and says that I have 15,000 followers," Karla recounted in the video. "He was saying that I have too [few] followers and that this was a mistake." "It seemed like he was insinuating that my followers would not be able to afford to eat at this restaurant." "He goes on to say that my audience and my followers are not the kind of people that are going to be at his restaurant," she continued. "It seemed like he was insinuating that my followers would not be able to afford to eat at this restaurant." Sung also allegedly asked Karla if she knew who he was and bragged that his daughter had 600,000 followers on social media. In response, Karla said she "turned red" and left the restaurant. Her video prompted outrage, with tens of thousands of users directing criticism at Kis Café. "Well, he was right about one thing: Your followers are not going to be eating at his restaurant," one user said. Another wrote, "I can't believe follower counts are the new currency for respect. Like, we're human beings." "We want to create a space that's welcoming and respectful." While announcing its closure on Instagram, the Kis Café called Sung's behavior "unacceptable." "That behavior does not reflect the remainder of our team. We want to create a space that's welcoming and respectful to everyone," the post said. "In this instance, we failed to do so." It went on, "We are closing soon and restructuring after these events. In the meantime, we hope to still be able to sustain the livelihoods of our team members and their families." Sung also shared a statement on the Kis Café Instagram page, writing that it was "important" to apologize and step away from the business. "I was condescending, hurtful and intimidating." "Karla – I am truly sorry for my actions towards you," Sung wrote. "I was condescending, hurtful and intimidating." He went on, "You did not deserve to be made to feel less than or unimportant. Nobody does. Regardless, I thank you for teaching me a valuable lesson in kindness and respect. There are no excuses to be made." Sung added that his behavior "should not be a reflection on anyone else who works there, or anyone who is related to me." Fox News Digital reached out to Sung, Kis Café, and Karla for additional comment.

14 LGBTQ+ disability activists who are changing the world one fight at a time
Happy Disability Pride Month! Footage still via Instagram @talialewis;; footage still via Instagram @jendeerinwater From left: Disability activists TL Lewis, Andrew Gurza, and Jen Deerinwater. There are queer disabled celebrities who are using their fame to advocate for more rights and better representation in media and shows that are starting to do a better job of including queer disabled characters, but it's the LGBTQ+ disabled activists who are fighting for years on end to help improve the lives of queer disabled people across the country. Intersectionality is so important, and these queer and disabled activists and advocates have a deep and intrinsic understanding of just how true that is. So to celebrate Disability Pride Month, which coincides with the anniversary of the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we're shouting out the trailblazing activists who have spent their careers fighting for the rights of the queer and disabled communities. Nicole Adler Nicole Adler has been a trailblazer since she was a teenager. At just 19 years old, she was the youngest governor-appointed council member to serve on the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities. As a gay woman with Down syndrome, she has spent her life as a fierce advocate for the LGBTQ+ and disability communities. Then, at 29, she made history again as the first San Francisco Pride Community Grand Marshal with Down syndrome in 2024. 'It's a huge honor to represent both the disability and LGBTQ communities. I get to carry the torch and show others that anything is possible if you believe in yourself,' Adler said at the Pride celebration that hosted over 400,000 attendees, KGET reported. Corbett O'TooleCorbett O'Toole Corbett O'Toole has been a disability rights activist since the '70s, when she helped to run the Disabled Women's Coalition and worked as a staff member at the Center for Independent Living. O'Toole, who calls herself a 'queer disabled elder,' was a pioneer in the disability rights movement, including being one of the participants of the 25-day-long 504 Sit-In, where disability activists stormed into the federal Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, which resulted in the Carter administration signing the 504 regulations which prohibited entities receiving federal funds from discriminating against disabled people. She has continued her work as an activist and advocate in the decades since and in 2016 wrote Fading Scars: My Queer Disability History. Morénike Giwa Onaiwu Morénike Giwa Onaiwu is a disabled nonbinary woman of color who focuses her activism work on autism and HIV advocacy, and disability justice and inclusion.

Bascom was one of the experts consulted to create the autistic character Julia for Sesame Street and founded the Loud Hands project that resulted in the groundbreaking anthology of essays written by autistic people, called Loud Hands: Autistic People, Speaking. 'Neurodiversity says people have different kinds of brains, and that's OK. But it goes a step further. People with different brains have rights. We have a right to be here,' Bascom told The 19th. 'We have a right to decide how we feel and how we should be treated. We have a right to [disability] accommodation. Neurodiversity isn't just a biological fact. It's an idea with teeth.'

My father and I never 'fought.' It was a series of private phone calls no one will ever hear, know, or understand. My father was confiding in me about issues weighing on his heart, both personal and business. I offered to be a life raft in whatever capacity he needed. I told him he had my support.' The 37-year-old went on to add that she and her husband, Steven Olesky, moved to Florida to be near Hogan as he grew older, and she went through almost 25 surgeries with her father until 'all of a sudden he didn't want me at surgeries.'
