A TikTok creator who said she works a block from an Olive Garden shared what she described as firsthand accounts of a restaurant worker diving into a deep fryer. Gabriella, who posts as @gabrihellafine, said friends who claimed to have witnessed it described a scene that left some staff looking for other jobs.
Her viral video, captioned “ALLEGED pieces of the Olive Garden deep fryer story,” drew 12.2 million views, 2.1 million likes, and more than 10,800 comments. She said news outlets were not releasing full details because authorities had called it a suicide attempt, and she used the word alleged for legal reasons.
