NEW YORK, New York — JPMorgan Chase has fired a senior executive after video showed her emptying a public trash can onto a Manhattan sidewalk and walking away with the container during celebrations following the New York Knicks’ NBA Championship victory.
The woman, identified as Angie Baez, was recorded wearing Knicks apparel as she dumped the contents of a Knicks-themed trash can onto the street before taking the receptacle and leaving the area. The incident occurred during last week’s championship parade in New York City.
Videos of the incident quickly spread online, drawing criticism from viewers who questioned the actions captured on camera.
At the time of her termination, Baez served as Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Before joining JPMorgan Chase, Baez worked as Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at The Infatuation, a restaurant review and media company.
JPMorgan Chase confirmed that Baez is no longer employed by the company following a review of the video footage.
