As part of our proactive measure (sic) we have thoroughly cleaned the outlet.

Skeptical netizens also questioned Cold Stone’s assertion that Ms Chang was not hired, pointing out that her selfie seemed to be taken inside the premises.

She said that she was now working at an outlet of the fast-food chain in Petaling Jaya, and pleaded for netizens “not to follow her around”, adding:
I just want to work properly at a job and earn income… please do not cause Alice Chang to lose her job again, can or not!

Adeline has maintained that she was slandered.
