An overzealous Deli employee got Academy Award winning Hollywood star, Forest Whitaker furious with a NYC deli ... he exploded that he was wrongly accused of shoplifting Friday morning ... and even FRISKED IN PUBLIC in a humiliating violation of his rights...A millionaire by all standards, Forest said he was on his way out of the Milano Market on the Upper East Side Friday when he was stopped by a deli employee and accused of swiping an item from the shelf. He was publicly frisked and nothing incriminating was found on him.
Whitaker's rep says, "This was an upsetting incident given the fact that Forest did nothing more than walk into the deli. What is most unfortunate about this situation is the inappropriate way store employees are treating patrons of their establishment...Frisking individuals without proof/evidence is a violation of rights...Forest did not call the authorities at the request of the worker who was in fear of losing his employment. Forest asked that, in the future, the store change their behavior and treat the public in a fair and just manner".
