Former Domino's YouTube Gross Out Girl Can't Get A Job Now
Kristy Hammonds, the woman who filmed her friend Michael doing inappropriate things to the food they were supposed to be preparing, needs a job to feed her two kids. She says she's been trying to get work at other fast food restaurants, though, which might be part of the problem.
Hammonds appeared yesterday morning on Good Morning America, but we haven't located a video of the appearance yet. Instead, here's part of a recap article posted on ABC's website that coincided with her GMA appearance:
Kristy Hammonds, 31, tells ABC News that she has become a local pariah and cannot find work to support her two children...
Hammonds, a registered sex offender who faces felony food tampering charges from the Domino's incident, says she has been turned down at several area fast food restaurants, including Taco Bell and McDonalds, when employers recognized her name and face.
She says her inability to find work has made it difficult to raise her two children, aged 4 [years] and 8 months, whom she conceived with the aid of a sperm donor. The baby, she said, has special needs.
We think Kristy should work again and support her family. Just, you know, not in the food service industry.
A warning: don't watch the lame "story recap" video accompanying the article if you're wearing a Halloween mask. It appears to be an attempt to trigger the Silver Shamrock Samhain spell from Halloween III. (Also, the talking heads look like dorks—do you really need an editor from Wired Magazine to watch those clips alongside an ABC reporter and crack wise? No.)

I love the picture!
Somebody call the Whaaaambulence.
She should probably go around to middle schools and talk about "her story". It would be like "scared straight". Don't take pictures of yourself naked and send them to your friends. Don't tamper with food if you work in a restaurant. Most importantly, if you're doing something you know is illegal, DON'T TAPE IT AND PUT IT ON THE INTERNET
@pecan 3.14159265: Sadly sex offenders still have the right to reproduce. They still have some rights....
Considering she's a registered sex offender AND facing felony charges for the food tampering, she might have trouble finding work anywhere. It's also entirely possible she might find work making license plates.
You are a registered sex offender for being busted for baring your buttocks to someone who is willing to complain, or for taking a leak at the side of the highway when you're desperate.
Don't assume everyone with that title is a pedo-monster, most aren't...
That sucks, but who would want to hire someone who has made so many horrible decisions?
@pecan 3.14159265: In the US it's pretty easy to become a sex offender. They register children that take naughty cell phone pics of themselves. Which is hilarious, because that makes the child both the victim and the offender.
@shepd: In this case, I know what she was registered for, and it's NOT something as simple as flashing a crowd of people. It's for something much, much worse.
Unmarried, unemployed, registered sex offender, felony food tampering, children through sperm donation.
Calling Octomoms™ publicist.
A person with a strike already against them pulls a costly, humiliating public prank on the food industry and expects to find a job there?
Lady, you've already used up two lifelines and I'm sure you've already phoned a friend for a job. Chances are gonna be less than 50/50 unless you can get your act together, and quickly.
(Yay, I used up all the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire cliches in one paragraph!)
I don't feel bad for this girl but I don't like Dominoe's either. The president is a rabid GOPer who donates lots of money to them. He doesn't believe women should have control of their own bodies (as he is Catholic) and is against gay marriage and gay rights.
Is it an 8 month old and a 4 year old? Cuz I don't even want to begin to know how you get a 4 month old and an 8 month old at the same time, regardless of sperm donation.
Either way, its her own stupid fault for not only doing dumb things, filming them and putting them on youtube, but I assume she did something equally stupid for the sex offender title.
Get the kids out of there before shes the next Octomom and people are mailing her money.
Her history proves that she might not have made the best of decisions thru out her life. Hindsight is always 20/20, but most people would of realized the implications of releasing such a horrific video.
If she is that concerned about her children, she should of thought twice before putting her source of income on the line. She might be hurting for a job, but no business will hire her because they will most likely LOSE business from her being on the roster.
Sorry, Kristy. Should use your brain next time. Poor kids.
@snowburnt: especially when you have two kids to feed and need that job. Probably shouldn't be looking into getting knocked up twice when you don't have a stable job or support while your at it.
@pecan 3.14159265: I dug it up. I remembered what it was, but formally she's charged with sexual battery, which is definitely not taking photos with a camera or flashing a crowd of people.
Considering her proclivity for tampering with food, she might expand her horizons and look for employment in places other than fast food restaurants.
@verucalise: The worst part about this is that her kids are going to be the ones to suffer. And when she made this video, she already had her 4 year old - she didn't once think that the video would come back to haunt her, I guess, and that she might have her name and face everywhere once it was discovered. It's YouTube, it's the internet - nothing goes away, nothing is left buried, don't risk it unless you're willing to pay the price.
@savdavid: Those are his own choices. Who cares what he does in his personal life, Would you like if someone boycotted your business if everyone knew your personal opinions on everything?
Haw haw, actions have consequences!
/a la Nelson
@savdavid:
That was true, the founder Tom Monaghan was a right wing nut, but he sold Dominoes in 1998, and is no longer involved with the company
This wouldn't happen to be her? It looks like she raped a child from the charge.
@savdavid: I think you need to get your facts straight: the guy sold the dominoes chain and is using the money to fund his Florida catholic paradise. He is in no way part of or affiliated with the company in any way anymore.
So you can end your hate of Domino's...until you order again and then realize you can get better for cheaper elsewhere.
I'm not defending her, but keep in mind that an indecent exposure charge for peeing behind a tree will get you on the sex offender registry too. It's not just molesters and rapists.
@idx: Don't worry, she will get child support and food stamps or something to support her. She did make a very stupid decision though. Maybe they need to have IQ tests before you are allowed to have a sperm donor, or some kind of background check atleast. If you are a registered sex offender you shouldn't be having kids.
Good for her.
Regardless of what she was actually DOING with the food, she was clearly wasting a LOT of company time effing around in the back instead of doing her job, which is also not a very desirable trait in a food service worker.
@pecan 3.14159265:

And convicted less than a year ago, so this isn't a "I was young and stupid" thing.
Maybe she's doing this to get her kids taken away from her - people have done dumber things for worse reasons...
@Blueskylaw: Am I reading this wrong, but does she have a kid that is 4 months old AND 8 month old? If so, then she has some crazy gestation period.
Plus she's practically a mini-octomom. Who voluntarily has kids via sperm donor when they make maybe $24k at a crap dead end job?
@David Schripsema: If they don't report the age, does it mean it was a minor? Or is it just that they don't have that data?
Here is her first crime. Yes, it was likely really bad. Yes, sympathy--if you have any--will be difficult.
"Hammonds (who was charged under her married name), sexually abused the [fourteen year old] girl over a four-month period"
[www.thesmokinggun.com]
@pecan 3.14159265: I found other articles that say that it was pled down from statutory rape. She had illicit sexual contact with a 14 year old girl.
@savdavid: What does this have anything to do with Domino's and its former owner? It's like you're trying to pit Kristy Hammonds against Domino's to see whether you'd be okay with her eventually leeching off the tax system because oh no, the former owner of Domino's didn't believe in what you believe.
Well, for the sake of her kids; I hope she finds something. But if she's the person I linked in pecan's comment; then she has done something horrific and then made a incredible mistake (Tampering with food is baaaaaaaad. Restaurants don't like it at all) then maybe those kids might be safer in different hands.
Of course This just my opinion.
@docrice: What I want to know is, who paid for all of the treatment she got, and for the insemination? Medical care is never cheap.
@gqcarrick: Although it's a moot point now since he's no longer with the company, the reason not to support "his own choices" are because it would be essentially donating money to that cause, since those are the causes that HE donates money to.
Wait, the registered sex offender has kids? Who thought that was a good idea?
