KFC: No evidence scarred 3-year-old girl asked to leave

“We have taken this report very seriously from the beginning,” KFC spokesman Rick Maynard told Yahoo News on Tuesday, saying the company had hired a third-party consultant to conduct an independent investigation.

“We are committed to the $30,000 donation to assist with Victoria’s medical bills no matter the outcome,” Maynard said.

The family of the girl did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“I promise [it’s] not a hoax,” Teri Rials Bates, Victoria’s aunt, wrote Tuesday on a Facebook page that had been created in April to give updates on Victoria’s recovery. “I never thought any of this would blow up the way it has.”

The Facebook page was taken down Tuesday afternoon.

“The family has not asked for anything,” Bates added. “I have personally watched this family go without to provide for Victoria. They have not and would not do anything to hurt Victoria in any way.”
