Yes, the post is accurate based on recent reporting.
The viral video (widely shared during/after the New York Knicks championship parade) shows a woman in Knicks gear emptying the contents of a special blue-and-orange public trash can onto a Manhattan sidewalk and then taking the bin with her (including on the subway). She was quickly identified as Angie Báez, 40.
Key facts from the New York Post and other coverage:
- Báez worked at JPMorgan Chase as Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce (promoted over a year ago).
- She previously held a DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) leadership role as Executive Director of DEI at The Infatuation (a restaurant/media company acquired by Chase).
- Chase confirmed she was fired (no longer employed) after the video went viral and the company reviewed the incident.
- The NYC Department of Sanitation called the act illegal and antisocial (littering + theft of public property), though as of the latest reports, no criminal charges had been filed (NYPD received no complaints). It could qualify as petit larceny and littering under NY law.
The post's image is a collage of the incident footage, her portrait, and a sensationalized headline highlighting her DEI background and firing — which aligns with the facts reported. This story blew up quickly on social media and news outlets due to the contrast between her professional role and the behavior caught on camera.
