The owner of Stella Luna Gelato Cafe in Ottawa joined Fox News' Jesse Watters on Wednesday to discuss the threats she has received since being doxxed for donating to the Freedom Convoy. The harassment that ensued forced her to shutter her beloved business.
"Never in my 56 years have I ever experienced a country so divided, so full of hatred towards friends and neighbors. They might have opinions that differ from theirs but they're so willing to publicly shame and humiliate and spew forth angry vitriol," a teary-eyed Tammy Guiliani said, the owner of Stella Luna Gelato Cafe.
"When I heard about a group of people that were willing to drive all the way across the country in below 30 weather to gather peacefully in front of Parliament and to stand up for their beliefs and to say, 'you know, maybe this whole mandating the existence out of everyone needs to be revisited.' My heart said, 'No,' and I don't think anyone, and I certainly don't think anyone could have imagined that it would have transformed into something like we're witnessing today," Guiliani continued.
Guiliani told Jesse Watters that it's important for people to understand that Stella Luna Cafe is her family's livelihood and they have worked tirelessly trying to keep the business afloat during the pandemic.
"It's how we pay our rent, it's how we keep our lights on, it's how we eat...Everyone has pushed really hard over the past two years trying to keep this business alive. So, we have this passion, and it just keeps going on and on. I reached into my personal pocket, and I pulled out 250 bucks of my personal money. And I gave a donation to fill a gas tank of someone, so they didn't have to sleep in minus 30 in the cold that night."
"I think that decision speaks to my humanity, and not to political beliefs, but attacking our children and attacking our team, that's unconscionable," Guiliani said.
"We have been called terrorists. For the first 36 hours we were inundated with hatred, with threats of violence. People threatened our team on the phone telling them we're coming to get you, we're going to throw bricks through your window, you'll pay for this you Nazi supporter. I personally have been called a disgusting pig of a woman and that I should rot in hell," Guiliani said of the threats they have received since the donor list was made public.
Despite the hatred and vitriol the shop has received, Guiliani said that community members across the country and in the US have rallied behind her and have sent donations, along with supportive messages, to boost her spirits and help keep the business afloat.
