The Disney fact community is in mourning Dominique Brown who was known
00:03
for her love for Disney and its theme parks on her personal
00:05
page. And the black girl Disney account on Instagram has died
00:09
She was 34.
00:10
The influencer died after reportedly experiencing an allergic reaction at a holiday
00:15
event hosted by Box lunch in Los Angeles.
00:18
Box lunch released a statement saying our hearts go out to her
00:21
family and friends and we will do everything we can to support
00:23
them. And the members of the Box Lunch Collective and our
00:26
team during this painful time.
00:28
I mean, the older I get,
00:29
the more I realize like,
00:30
how sad is it that you can't fully trust anyone like with
00:34
your food, especially when you have like severe allergies.
00:38
Like because I heard that she had asked the person that I
00:42
think it was a pass hors d'oeuvres or I don't know what
00:45
it was. I'm not exactly sure what was in it had
00:49
a certain ingredient that she was allergic to.
00:51
So she had asked them and they reassured her like,
00:54
no, it doesn't have that and it did have that.
00:59
No. Yeah, it's crazy because like you said you can
01:01
ask but sometimes people don't really,
01:04
they don't know, they don't really see a big deal.
01:08
They'll just break out in hives.
01:10
You know what I mean?
01:11
It's like, no,
01:13
dude, it could be super severe like this.
01:16
They like, it can be like that and it has to
01:19
be taken like that.
01:20
She was technically working,
01:21
right. She's an influencer.
01:22
Oh, for sure.
01:24
And supposedly she was collaborating with Box Lunch and Disney.
01:27
Yeah, it's crazy like that,
01:29
you know, something like this can happen.
01:32
No. Yeah. Again,
01:33
I just hope that her family is compensated well,
01:35
and again, they actually take more seriously because this was again
01:38
an event thrown by box lunch that many other people have
01:42
attended. And so this can't just be a,
01:45
a normal thing that happens.
01:47
Definitely.
