  • WTF?!? Joe’s Crab Shack Used Historic Lynching Photo As Table Decor… [PHOTOS]

    Mar, 11 2016 | Written by ATLien

    Joe's Crab Shack 2016

    Welp… I can strike Joe’s Crab Shack off of my list of restaurants.

    The popular seafood chain is under?fire this week after they were discovered using a historic photo of a black man’s execution as?table decor.

    Read details about the outrageous incident below…

    USAToday reports that Minneapolis NAACP,?Tyrone Williams?and?Chauntyll?Allen?were preparing to dine at Joe’s Crab Shack in Roseville on Wednesday night when they noticed a photo?embedded inside the table.

    Joes Crab Shack Table Decor 2016

    It appeared?to show a large group of white people watching a public execution of at least one black person. ?On the bottom of the picture, it reads: “Hanging at?Groesbeck, Texas, on April 12th, 1895.” At the top, the caption reads,?”All I said was that I didn’t like the gumbo.”

    Williams posted the photo to Facebook with the following caption:

    “Although the manager was apologetic about the lynching depiction, that does not change the fact that this sickening image of black men being lynched was intentionally embedded inside of a table,” Williams said.

    “This type of blatant racism should not be tolerated in this country, or in our local and national eating establishments. I have felt sick to my stomach and stressed out since seeing that image on the table where I was planning to eat my food.”

    Joe's Crab Shack 2016Allen said she could not believe the image was used so casually.

    “Seeing a picture of two black men being lynched was the last thing that I expected to see at what was supposed to be a family-friendly restaurant,” Allen said.

    Nekima Levy-Pounds, President of the Minneapolis NAACP, said the incident “demonstrates that racism is still alive and well in this country.”

    “It is sickening to know that someone would make a mockery of black men being savagely lynched and then use that imagery for decorative purposes in a restaurant,” Levy-Pounds said in a statement.

    The Minneapolis NAACP is demanded an immediate public apology by the corporate offices of Joe’s?Crabshack; immediate?removal “of any and all lynching or otherwise racially-offensive imagery” from its restaurants; and a?donation to a local community-based organization that serves African American youths and teenagers.

    The table was removed, and late Thursday night Ignite Restaurant Group released a statement to?KARE?that said, ?We understand on the photos used in our table decor at our Joe?s Crab Shack location in Roseville, MN was offensive.?

    It was not immediately clear if the picture was present in other locations for the Texas-based company, of which there are nearly 100 around the country.

    That was only one restaurant in a chain… I’m sure they all have the same or similar decor. ?I can only image how?many people are eating right on top of a lynching photo everyday without even thinking twice about it.

    I can’t believe it’s 2016 and things like this are still happening across the country.?And you people thought racism was dead…. *sigh*

    How to you feel about Joe’s Crab Shack’s ‘apology’ for this outrageous incident?

        Simon Guobadia has filed a motion to dismiss the f Simon Guobadia has filed a motion to dismiss the federal defamation lawsuit he previously brought against his ex-wife, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams.

The lawsuit, originally filed in November 2024, stemmed from Instagram posts made by Williams in July 2024 that Guobadia claimed falsely implied he suffered from erectile dysfunction. According to court filings, Guobadia alleged the posts were directed at him and caused reputational harm, emotional distress, and damage to his professional standing amid their very public divorce.

Court records show that on Friday, January 23, 2025, Guobadia filed a Motion to Dismiss the case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia. No ruling has been issued at this time, and the matter remains pending.

Guobadia and Williams married in November 2022 and filed for divorce in February 2024. Their split has continued to play out publicly through court filings and social media, drawing widespread attention.

Kenya Moore is still in eviction court, the Hair Spa isn’t generating business, and the questions are stacking up.

No eviction yet, but also no clear exit plan.  So why hold on so hard?

Is this about a potential Bravo return?
Or is it just cutting losses vs. storyline protection?

Let’s discuss ⬇️

Kenya Moore’s attorney revealed in court this week that the Hair Spa space was intended for filming — not daily clients. 👀

So when folks said it looked like a content creation space… were they really “haters,” or just early? 🤔

Receipts matter. Courts matter. Words matter.

How do you ask the court to seal divorce records while continuing to talk about the divorce publicly?

This clip breaks down why Todd Tucker’s motion to keep the case open may be a legal strategy, not shade — and how public pressure often leads to faster settlements.

Receipts > rumors.
Chess > checkers.
