‘I spent three days in detention’ – Man accused by social media personality King Mitchy of diverting restaurant payments breaks silence

The staff member accused by social media personality King Mitchy of diverting restaurant payments into his personal account has shared his account of what happened, claiming the videos she posted online were edited to leave out his explanations.

Identifying himself as Joseph, the man said King Mitchy visited the restaurant on November 2 and ordered a cocktail. According to him, when she asked for his account number to make payment, he misunderstood her and gave her his personal account details instead of the restaurant’s account.

He claimed he immediately realised his mistake, apologised and explained that the restaurant’s POS machine was temporarily unavailable. He said he was trying to power it up so he could provide the correct payment details when King Mitchy began recording him without his knowledge.

Joseph further claimed that after the matter was reported to the hotel’s chief security officer, King Mitchy left without paying for her drink. He said he and the security officer later approached her at the car park to obtain a screenshot of the account details for investigation.

He also disclosed that he spent three days in police custody while the hotel management investigated the incident. According to him, the management reviewed the matter and his work record before allowing him another opportunity to continue working.

Joseph maintained that he did not intend to divert the payment and described the incident as a misunderstanding. He accused King Mitchy of sharing only selected portions of the recordings, insisting that her posts did not show the full exchange.

He ended the video by thanking the hotel management for giving him another chance and saying he hoped to rebuild his reputation.
