Hilton Grand Vacations has fired an employee for allegedly sending a racial slur to WNBA star Chelsea Gray.
On Monday, the Las Vegas Aces guard posted a screenshot on her Instagram Story of a user calling her a racial slur via Instagram DMs following the team’s loss Sunday to the Indiana Fever.
“People act like we make this shit up,” Gray wrote. “And the audacity to tell us as athletes to ‘shut up and dribble.’”
Gray’s post included the user’s handle (@atxschreibzz). Social media users soon identified the user as an employee of Hilton Grand Vacations through their now-deleted LinkedIn profile.
In a statement to Front Office Sports on Tuesday afternoon, Hilton Grand Vacations said the person is no longer with the company.
