Papa John's Punished Employee Who Gave Out Iggy Azalea's Number
The Iggy vs. Papa John's showdown continues.Yesterday, we reported that Grammy-nominated rapper Iggy Azalea had tweeted angrily about her Papa John's pizza delivery guy giving out her number to his brother. She posted screenshots of the texts from the "number one fan" who repeatedly called and texted her. Needless to say Iggy wasn't pleased.
When an employee steals information it's called data breach. It's illegal. There are steps a corporation is supposed to follow afterward.

Papa John's responded with this plea:
@iggyazalea #We should have known better. Customer and employee privacy is important to us. Please don't #bounce us!

"Privacy of our customers and employees is extremely important to us," a spokesperson said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "Papa John's has taken appropriate disciplinary action with regard to the employee involved. We are reaching out directly to Ms. Azalea and hope to resolve this incident and make it right."
Papa John's did not reveal if the employee had been fired. But Iggy is demanding justice served cold, like morning-after Papa John's pizza.

They don't include tweeting out song lyrics to the customer making the complaint, it's really unprofessional. I want a real answer.
