JPMorgan Chase cut ties with diversity executive Angie Báez after a video showed her emptying a full trash can onto a Manhattan street during the New York Knicks championship parade. She grabbed the team-branded receptacle—meant as a keepsake—then tipped the contents onto the sidewalk to carry it off. The clip went viral within hours, sparking outrage online.
Reporters from the New York Post flagged the footage to JPMorgan Chase. The bank confirmed Báez no longer works there. Her title had been focused on equity and inclusion efforts, a role that put her in charge of internal programs to diversify hiring and employee support.
That parade day was chaotic beyond her stunt. Fans climbed on cars and trucks, painted their faces blue and orange, and roamed the streets in high spirits. Police struggled to contain crowds, and city cleanup crews spent hours clearing confetti, bottles and other debris left behind by celebrating Knicks supporters.
