A Texas Twin Peaks employee says she was fired after going live on social media from home while wearing her work uniform. Viewers were divided over what some considered a harsh consequence.
The Dallas woman, Eden Brooks, shared a video explaining that she was recently fired from Twin Peaks. The post gained more than 493,800 views.
In the video, the former Twin Peaks Girl addressed viewers with an emotional goodbye. Although she did not speak, her disappointment was obvious. The caption explained that she would miss the restaurant and the experience.
In the comments, Eden provided additional information about what happened. She explained that the offending TikTok was filmed at home. She also said Twin Peaks Girls are not allowed to wear their uniforms outside of the lodge.
Another Twin Peaks Girl agreed that the company was particularly strict about its uniforms.
“Even when eating you couldn’t be in uniform or show up w it on. That’s just the rules from the Twin Peaks I was at. Very weird about the uniform being shown not in ‘Twin Peaks,’” @Karly wrote.
Brooks also expressed nothing but love for the management team and claimed the decision to fire her came directly from corporate.
“I shook their hands, thanked them and told them I loved being there. It wasn’t up to them. It was a direct order from corporate,” she wrote.
The post quickly sparked a conversation about employees appearing on social media while wearing their work uniforms.
Why does the name tag matter?
According to Brooks, one detail particularly stood out to the manager who fired her. She was not simply wearing clothing associated with the restaurant. Her name tag was also visible.
Workplace social-media policies can place additional restrictions on employees who post while wearing uniforms or other identifying work materials. A uniform can make it easier for viewers to associate an employee’s personal comments or behavior with the company.
For that reason, some employers discourage or prohibit employees from posting work-related content while they are identifiable as staff.
In this case, Brooks said the visible uniform and name tag contributed to the decision to fire her, despite the video being filmed at home.
Were other Twin Peaks Girls doing the same thing?
That became one of the biggest questions in the comments.
Some viewers claimed they had regularly seen Twin Peaks Girls posting videos or going live while wearing their uniforms.
“Bruh my location was so corrupt. One of the girls has an OnlyFans and she posts in uniform in our makeup room and the general manager didn’t gaf because she flirts w him,” @grace<3 claimed.
“Bro I literally know a girl who goes live at work,” another commenter wrote.
Those commenters questioned why the policy appeared to result in termination for one employee if similar content had allegedly been posted by others.
The comments raised a broader question about how consistently workplace social-media rules are enforced.
Twin Peaks does have uniform guidelines
Management specifically cited acknowledgement forms about uniform guidelines as part of the onboarding process.
Twin Peaks Girl job description and acknowledgment form states that employees “may never wear the Twin Peaks top or any other items issued by the company, outside of the restaurant.”
Adding that the restriction applies to wearing the proprietary costumes recreationally or for photography not conducted by Twin Peaks. It also states that violating the Image & Costume Guidelines could result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
That context makes Brooks’ claim that her uniform and name tag contributed to her firing notable.
Other workers have faced consequences for filming in uniform
Brooks’ experience is not the only recent example of workers facing employment consequences after appearing on social media in their work uniforms.
In April 2026, eight Chick-fil-A employees were reportedly fired after a TikTok showing them dancing inside a restaurant while wearing their uniforms went viral, receiving more than 7 million views. One of the former employees said he was surprised by the decision because he had previously posted workplace videos without disciplinary consequences.
Again in August, a Waffle House employee was fired after repeatedly creating social-media content at work while wearing his uniform. The company prohibits unauthorized filming on its property for personal promotion, commercial gain, or brand monetization. The employee said the company had previously warned him to remove his viral videos.
These cases show why an employee’s uniform can become an important factor when workplace content spills onto social media.
For Brooks, the controversy was complicated by the fact that she says the video was filmed from home and that she had otherwise left the Twin Peaks management team on good terms.
