Joseph, a restaurant staff member, has publicly responded to allegations made against him by social media personality King Mitchy, who accused him of diverting a cocktail payment into his personal account. According to Joseph's account, King Mitchy visited the restaurant on November 2 and ordered a cocktail. When she asked for his account number to make payment, he mistakenly provided her with his personal account details instead of the restaurant's account number.
He said he immediately realised his error, apologised and explained that the restaurant's POS machine was temporarily unavailable. He claimed he was attempting to power it up so he could provide the correct payment details when King Mitchy began recording him without his knowledge.
Joseph further stated that after the matter was reported to the hotel's chief security officer, King Mitchy left without paying for her drink. He said he and the security officer later approached her at the car park to obtain a screenshot of the account details for investigation purposes.
He also disclosed that he spent three days in police custody while the hotel management investigated the incident. According to him, the management reviewed the matter and his work record before allowing him another opportunity to continue working.
Joseph maintained that he did not intend to divert the payment and described the incident as a misunderstanding. He accused King Mitchy of sharing only selected portions of the recordings, insisting that her posts did not show the full exchange.
He ended the video by thanking the hotel management for giving him another chance and saying he hoped to rebuild his reputation.
