*New York attorney Anthony Orlich was fired after snatching the wig of a random Black woman.
Lizzy Ashliegh posted a video on TikTok that shows her confronting Orlich after he laid hands on her green wig as she walked around the city. The clip shows him ignoring her as she repeatedly asks for an explanation for his wild antics, The Root reports.
"Sir, for what f**king reason? For what reason? For what reason did you take my wig off?," she asks Orlich.
"Because what made you think that that was the good thing to do? For what? For what? Why did you do that?" the woman continued.
In the footage, Orlich's friends try to get him to apologize but he refuses.
After Ashliegh posted the clip to social media, internet sleuths quickly went to work and identified Orlich and where he was employed. Social media users contacted his job, Leader Berkon Colao & Silverstein LLP, demanding action be taken.
On Tuesday (May 30), the LinkedIn profile for Leader Berkon Colao & Silverstein LLP was updated with a statement that Orlich no longer works for the company as a litigator.
"We have been made aware of a video of a non-work related incident involving one of our associates circulating on social media," the message stated, according to The Root. "We take seriously any inappropriate behavior by any employee, whether inside or outside the workplace. This associate is no longer with the Firm."
Orlich has not yet issued the standard, "I'm sorry. I was intoxicated" apology in an effort to salvage his professional career and social credit.
