Hey
BK at @ConstantineMpls you are the meanest human being that I have
ever, in my adult life, been around. I hope you find your peace. Please
know that I will never ever in my life be back at @HotelIvy or
@ConstantineMpls in Minneapolis because I have never felt the hatred and
spite and judgement that I feel from you.
Relatively soon afterwards, a fan expressed her disappointment with a somewhat lengthy comment. Jared followed with this direct reply to her:
Jared Padalecki Sandy Hudspeth Thank you for voicing your opinions and your concern. You are, of course, entitled to both. As far as last night goes, I didn't receive "poor service". I didn't have mustard instead of mayonnaise on my burger, and she didn't give me too many or too few cubes of ice in my drink. The picture of her playing on her phone was the NICEST thing she did during the course of the evening...... No. I was subjected to a mean, spiteful human being. Period. She was mean. She was a bully. She, specifically, did several things that hurt mine (and our) feelings. She made me feel singled out and not welcome and "less than" (maybe you've been in the same situation before?). She ruined my night (if not my trip) in Minnesota. Furthermore, I'm not incredibly happy to have you express that you believe I'm not entitled to share my concerns or unhappiness because I'm a "celebrity". That's akin to the people who told me that I should be "happy" because I'm "successful", and that I shouldn't have "depression" or "anxiety" because "famous people" are so "lucky". And I very much don't appreciate being victim shamed, even though I'm "famous" and should just "deal with it and keep quiet about it". At the end of the day, I am a human being that breathes oxygen. The same as you. And, sometimes, there are people who hurt my feelings intensely and I want to reach out to my social media family to express my hurt and let y'all know that I, too, sometimes run into mean people who aim to ruin my day. As far as "keeping future grievances" more private?Simply put, no. I will not let you silence or censor me and my feelings the same way those in the past have tried to silence or censor or ignore or belittle my feelings. I've worked too hard for too long on myself to be told to take negativity that's sent my way, and shut up about it, just because I'm a "celebrity". I'm truly sorry that the existence of my hurt disappointed you, and I wish you peace and happiness. With love, jp.
What followed was more drama than a marathon of Judge Judy. Spn Gossip blew up with chatter and fans bombarded the waitress's Instagram as well as the bar's with criticism. There were even reports of death threats. The reaction became so harsh, that Jared soon posted another Facebook entry, one which still remains online:
Jared Padalecki
In regards to my recent post, please please PLEASE do not send ill-will in anybody's direction. I felt it necessary to voice my opinion, as I have made a promise to myself that I will not let somebody mistreat me just to swallow it, as if I "deserve" it. It's a promise I hope y'all can make to yourselves as well. But it's in the past now. And I sincerely hope everybody involved will be better for it. Please, for the love of Chuck, don't send any hatred or ill-will in their direction. That is the exact OPPOSITE of what I want.
It really helps to have been able to read all the comments on Spn Goss (a Jared/Jensen blog on LiveJournal). Jared has a history of twitter rants towards airlines and hotels, and is well known for having anxiety/depression.
At this point in time, what I have found the most interesting about this whole social media incident, is that most of the evidence has now disappeared off of the internet. Oh, you can still see a re-post of one or both of Jared's initial rants on Oh No They Didn't, but they are both deleted from his Facebook. And since the posts disappeared, so did all of the volatile comments. The waitress BK? Her Instagram deleted. The bar? Their Instagram deleted.
So unless you happen to come across a re-posting from someone who happened to save the posts while they were online, there's no more evidence this blow-up happened. I found this reply to a critical analysis by an "anonymous" on Spn Goss interesting:

This minion has been here for days and is going to drag this on and on and on even though Jared took the post down and cleared things up. Shut this b***h down.
"even though Jared took the post down and cleared things up."
In other words, "over and done with".
What do you think? Posting the picture of a food service employee online without their knowledge? Was Jared being proactive and speaking up for himself? Or was this a case of misuse of one's celebrity? Do you find anything unusual about the deletion of the Facebook posts? Of the waitress and the bar's social media accounts? Is this something to forget about? Or worry over, if you were a fan of Jared's?
Questions which might remain for awhile even after the erasures.
