Who is Tammy Rivera? 'Love and Hip-Hop' star accuses CVS employee of racial profiling in viral video

Television personality and singer Tammy Rivera has accused an Atlanta-area CVS employee of following her inside the store and racially profiling her. She shared a few videos to prove her allegations.

In the first two videos, Rivera shared that she was frustrated and the employee followed her everywhere alongside speaking disrespectfully as she opened a package. She told him that he spoke to her like she was a child.

Rivera mentioned that she planned to purchase a bonnet and hair oil. She purchased them on a whim after deciding to take something to treat bug bites as she returned from her vacation in Belize.

She said that the CVS employee did not greet or assist her, and just asked her to leave the store. Rivera even stated that she visits the store regularly.

Tammy Rivera said that she should be treated like a human being. The public was also disappointed after hearing about the incident and expressed their views and opinions on social media. A few have even asked the retail pharmacy to apologize to Rivera.

A similar incident occurred back in 2015 with singer Kelly Price. She had accused CVS of racial discrimination after she could not fill a prescription for a post-dental procedure pain medicine. She accused the store of not filling some prescriptions because of its location. CVS later apologized to her.
