A waitress who spit on Eric Trump has been put on leave, according to the Chicago restaurant's owner

The Alinea Group, which owns The Aviary, told Newsweek that 'an unfortunate incident' occurred between an employee and first son Eric Trump. 'We have not yet spoken with the employee, but our HR team has, in the meantime, placed her on leave.'

The group said it found an internet-driven campaign against The Aviary fomenting in the wake of the incident to be"troubling," adding that hundreds of online posters were"calling for the demise of our business, threatening our employees, and posting fake reviews."

A spokesperson for the Trump Organization claimed that the Secret Service and Chicago Police Department apprehended and detained a woman believed to be responsible for the incident, whose name has not been publicly disclosed, before letting her go. The company also claimed that Eric Trump told police he was not intent on pressing charges, which is when the waitress was allegedly released.
