A homosexual pastor from Austin, Texas, claimed a baker at Whole Foods added a slur to his “Love Wins” cake. The company denied the allegation and filed a counter-lawsuit (Photo: KXAN-6 screenshot).

Jordan Brown, the openly homosexual Texas pastor who tried to paint Whole Foods’ bakers as discriminatory against homosexuals by charging they wrote a slur on a cake he ordered in blue frosting, not only admitted on Monday he had lied, but withdrew the lawsuit he had launched against the grocer.

“Today I am dismissing my lawsuit against Whole Foods Market. The company did nothing wrong. I was wrong to pursue this matter and use the media to perpetuate this story, Brown said, in a statement. “I want to apologize to Whole Foods and its team members for questioning the company’s commitment to its values, and especially the bakery associate who I understand was put in a terrible position because of my actions.”

He also apologized to his fellow LGBT community members, saying his actions had done them a disservice. Specifically, Brown had accused in April that the cake he ordered with the frosted phrase “Love Wins” actually included a homophobic slur that he didn’t notice until he left the store.

He accused Whole Foods of the action in a You Tube video that quickly went viral, and shortly after, filed a suit against the company.

It was only upon deeper scrutiny that it was learned Brown had actually written the slur himself, using a slightly different colored frosting, and then closed the box with a Whole Foods pricing sticker he mistakenly affixed in a spot on the box that was different from its original location. As WND previously reported, a later investigation also revealed Brown was facing financial troubles of his own, in the form of a lawsuit to recoup $28,000 in student loans.

“I want to apologize to the LGBT community for diverting attention from real issues,” he said Monday. “I also want to apologize to my partner, my family, my church family and my attorney.”

Whole Foods defended its baker and launched a counter lawsuit, alleging Brown’s accusations were little more than a hoax, aimed at extracting money from the company. In a statement released Monday, the company announced it sees “no reason to move forward” with the counter claim.

The full statement from Whole Foods is below:

“We’re very pleased that the truth has come to light. Given Mr. Brown’s apology and public admission that his story was a complete fabrication, we see no reason to move forward with our counter suit to defend the integrity of our brand and team members.”

Believe The Whole Foods Apology? If So, We Have A Bridge For Sale, Cheap. 100% Overcharging Is Not Unintentional!

By Hayley PetersonJuly 1, 2015 4:56 PM

(YouTube/Whole Foods) Whole Foods co-CEOs John Mackey and Walter Robb apologize to customers in an online video.
Whole Foods' two top executives have apologized for overcharging customers.

"Straight up, we made some mistakes and we want to own that," Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb said in a two-minute video apology alongside John Mackey, the chain's co-founder.

Whole Foods came under fire last week after a New York City investigation revealed that several stores were mislabeling packaged foods and selling them for more than they were worth.

City inspectors claimed it was the "worst case of overcharging" that they had ever seen, according to the Daily News.

In the apology video, Robb and Mackey said the overcharges were unintentional and that they mainly occur with packaged fresh foods like sandwiches and juices.

"It's understandable sometimes that mistakes are made," Robb said. "They are inadvertent. They do happen because its a hands-on approach to bringing you fresh food."

The company is taking three steps to fix the problem, the executives said.

First, Whole Foods is going to retrain employees in New York stores and around the country.

Secondly, the company will implement a third-party auditing system for all its stores to make sure employees are weighing items properly.

"We want to see whether we're making any progress in this area or not," Mackey said. The company will start reporting its progress to customers in 45 days.

Lastly, Whole Foods will refund customers for the full price of any product that has labeling errors.

"We want to be perfect in this area," Mackey said. "We don't want there to ever be any mistakes."

Here's their full apology:

In the New York City investigation, inspectors weighed 80 items from eight Whole Foods stores and found inaccurate labeling on every item, according to the city's Department of Consumer Affairs.

For example, inspectors weighed eight packages of chicken tenders, which were priced at $9.99 per pound. Consumers who purchased these packages would have been overcharged by about $4.13 on average, according to a DCA release. One package was overpriced by $4.85.
