Woman Sues Apple For $350 Million Over Wellington Store Discrimination Claim

WELLINGTON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) (Copyright © 2026 MetroDesk Media, LLC) — A Palm Beach County woman is suing Apple for $350 million. She claims staff at the Apple Store in The Mall at Wellington Green treated her like a thief because she is Black, then took her iPhone apart and handed it back broken. Curtashia Oliver, who is representing herself, says she went to the store with her husband on Sept. 25 for a confirmed appointment. She had forgotten the passcode to her iPhone 14 Plus and just wanted it erased. According to the complaint, the employee helping her told a coworker, “She’s Black, she probably stole it, I don’t know if I should help her erase it.” Oliver says she heard it. The suit also claims staff joked about her older phone and kept asking whether it was really hers. Oliver alleges employees took the phone to a back room and kept her at the store for hours past closing. When it came back, the suit says, it had been completely disassembled, its internal retention screws were removed, and it looked like it had been dropped. The phone now won’t get past recovery mode, cutting her off from her photos,

Citing DEI law, Delray Beach cancels St. Patrick's parade, Pride fest

Delray Beach will not host its annual St. Patrick's Day Parade or Pride events in 2027, citing a new state law that restricts how local governments can spend money on activities that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. The city made the announcement in a Facebook posting on Tuesday, Nov. 10. The parade and the festival have long drawn large crowds to the city's downtown area in March and June, respectively. The new state law, which takes effect Jan. 1, limits what cities, towns and villages can spend to create and promote activities defined under the legislation as DEI. These restrictions include certain programming and activities that refer to ethnicity, sexual orientation or gender identity. City officials said in their prepared statement that they had reviewed the legislation and determined that Delray Beach is legally prohibited from organizing, funding or promoting these events in 2027. "The City recognizes that these annual events have provided opportunities for members of the community to gather, celebrate, and connect," the city's statement said. "We appreciate the residents, participants, volunteers, and community partners who have contributed to these events over the years. "We remain committed to serving all residents and providing opportunities for community engagement consistent

Burke wants fired next week. A school bus driver and a custodian are also on the list. A fourth worker, a maintenance technician, faces a 10-day unpaid suspension.
