Allegations of PR fail “not true,” says a spokeswoman.

I know, right? Now tell your friends!

A spokeswoman for Chick-Fil-A denied that the company had created fake accounts on Facebook to defend itself from criticism, contrary to reports that have circulated online.

“We have seen this and it is not true,” spokeswoman Tiffany Greenway told BuzzFeed. “Chick-Fil-A has not created a separate or a false Facebook account. We don’t know who created it.”

Two Facebook accounts have been identified that appeared to exist solely to defend Chick-Fil-A after the company’s president said he opposed the legalization of gay marriage. One has been deleted, and the other was “outed” when its profile picture turned out to be a stock photo of a random teenage girl.

      Even five years ago it would not be an issue that someone believed marriage is between a man and a woman, like it has been since the beginning of time. However, it seems a whole lot of sheeple are brainwashed by the radical homosexuals into believing it is somehow bad to be believe in the form of the family that civilization has been built on. I for one will be eating as much as possible at Chick fil A because I am sick of the intolerance of “gays” for someone evening having another opinion and one that has been accepted by all successful civilizations.

      Kids getting their fingers stuck. Pretending to be teenage girls? Your time has come my friends. Right now I have spoken to several students at a hand full of universities that are already working on getting your establishment removed from their campus. That is several thousand per school I’m sorry to say. I have been counting the last two days on forums and on your Facebook page and having some of my friends scope out other pages. I am happy to report that just the three of have witnessed over a thousand customers swear to never come near your establishment again. Several of them stating they will not bring their family (So think X4) Or their friends anymore either. You have city council members banning you for your hate and your lies. This Abby Farle incident doesn’t make you look any better. The best part of this is you use the excuse “If Pro - Gay ” Can have their opinion why can’t? “Anit - Gay ” Well that is because you are not just anti gay you are anti human rights and equality. It is not about opinion it is about oppression. Our voices will be heard! They have been heard! Watch your Facebook, and watch your likes. They are on a steady decline. You can have your opinion to not accept a non traditional marriage, but keep in mind if you ever got a divorce, if you were not a virgin before you were married, if you have ever told a lie then you are in the wrong. Practice what you preach. We know you have lied about the recall, and about Abby Farle. Christians are not aloud to pick and choose which rules they follow. You cannot promote traditional marriage and lying in one. Own up and tell the truth. If you believe in the bible then one day Cathy will have to stand before god and tell him why.  Why you judged  Luke 6:37
      Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven; Why you lied Proverbs 19:9
      A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish. If you are a Christian company you are certainly doing everything you can to show yourself in another light.  Your days are numbered Chick-Fil-A For every customer that comes on August 1st. Remember there are five more that stay home that would of came before.  Hate ruins lives
      It ruins Business IT
      WILL NOT
      BE
      TOLERATED

      This whole topic is getting ridiculous. Gay people = don’t eat here. Others = Eat here if you like their food. Done.

      I wish this could come to a worthy conclusion because I love Chick fil a and gay people.

      Isn’t crazy how only Chick-Fil-A can use a stock image as a profile pic on Facebook?

      They also denied that they’d given $5M to H8 groups. Also, they have lied about the “recall” of Muppet toys in kids meals. Can’t and won’t believe anything they say again!

    • chrisa7 9 months ago

      Anyone can do this. So until someone ties said accounts to a Chick-Fil-A employee, claiming they did this is tantamount to slander.
