Man accused by King Mitchy over restaurant payment says online posts left out his explanations

A restaurant staff member whom social media personality King Mitchy accused of redirecting restaurant payments to his own account has come forward with his version of events. The man, who identified himself as Joseph, said videos she posted online were edited to exclude the explanations he gave. Joseph said King Mitchy came to the restaurant on November 2 and ordered a cocktail. He said that when she requested the account number for payment, he misunderstood and provided his personal account details rather than the restaurant’s. He said he noticed the error right away, apologized, and told her the restaurant’s point-of-sale machine was temporarily unavailable. According to Joseph, he was trying to start the POS machine so he could give her the correct payment information when King Mitchy started recording him without his knowledge. He also said that after the matter was reported to the hotel’s chief security officer, King Mitchy left without paying for the drink. Joseph said he and the security officer later went to the car park to ask her for a screenshot of the account details as part of the investigation. Joseph said he spent three days in police custody while hotel management looked into the incident. He said management reviewed the case and his employment record and then gave him another chance to keep working. Joseph maintained that he had no intention of diverting the payment and called the episode a misunderstanding. He accused King Mitchy of posting only selected sections of the recordings and said her posts did not show the full exchange. At the end of his video, he thanked the hotel management for the opportunity and said he hoped to restore his reputation.
