Lush Cosmetics is investigating an incident which appeared to show employees of a New York branch of the soap shop telling Jewish New Yorkers to “f*** off”.
During a march of New Yorkers against antisemitism, several employees of the cosmetics shop exited the store and started shouting at Jewish passersby. Three Lush assistants stood outside the shop and at least two of them shouted at Jews on the street. Several others appeared to gather inside the store.
In a video of the incident shared to X on Tuesday, one apparent sales assistant can be seen yelling: “You f***ing b*tch, you’re a b*tch”, before leaning over and showing her behind to a Jewish man, threatening him “Kiss my ass” and flipping her middle finger.
Several other staff used hand motions to signal to passersby to leave the vicinity of the shop. “Get away,” another employee shouted towards the crowd.
