Cranberry, PA - It's not often 3rd-year safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Sean Davis pops up in the headlines. He's now being sued by a family from Wexford, PA over a Snapchat video taken of their teen son who works at a nearby drive-thru Chick-fil-A. Davis appeared to be allegedly mocking the boy as he was being served. Claims filed by the Allegheny County Common Pleas Court stated that this event led to the boy being bullied at school.
The incident reportedly occurred on either December 11, 2017, or December 13, 2017. The claims for the incident are as follows: libel, cyberbullying, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and slander. Representatives for Davis deny all allegations.
The video contained Davis commenting, "Chick-fil-A got little kids. This kid like eight years old. No wonder the lines be so long at Chick-fil-A." Davis was noted saying that his intent was to highlight the length of the lines at Chick-fil-A, not to insult the boy.
“What they’re alleging goes completely against everything Sean stands for and how he lives his life.” - Randy Fisher, general counsel for MBK Sports Management Group, which represents Mr. Davis.
