I’ve worked at Hooters for 6 years but also have a degree – people never expect what it’s in
DON’T judge a book by its cover – even if the cover is bright orange and says “Hooters” in bold bubble letters.
One waitress at the restaurant chain let slip to her followers that she has a prestigious career in an entirely different field.
Among Hooters fans, Leah Fennelly is a notable name: the server has over 173k followers on TikTok and participated in the 2022 Hooters pageant.
In a recent video, Fennelly, who’s worked at Hooters for six years, mentioned her background in another industry, shocking many of her fans.
Posing in front of her restaurant location, Fennelly shimmied for the camera and smiled flirtatiously.
In the caption, she wrote, “You’ve never been with a spicy brunette Hooters girl that has a law degree, have you?”
Viewers were stunned by Fennelly’s mention of her law degree, though longtime fans were happy to see her fulfill her dream.
“What you did it!? You passed the bar?” wrote one. “Congratulations!”
Fennelly didn’t clarify if she’d sat for the bar exam or simply graduated with her JD, but people were impressed either way.
“Congrats, girl, you deserve it,” said a supporter.
Some people were amazed to learn that Fennelly still worked at Hooters despite her prestigious degree.
“Why do you work as a waitress with a law degree?” someone asked.
Another person provided their own theory. “Hooters must pay well!” they said.
Some people poked fun at Fennelly, though most of the teasing was good-natured.
“Double red flag,” said a follower. “Haha I’m joking, just one.”
The commenter didn’t clarify as to which of Fennelly’s career paths was a “red flag” to him.
Another person used the video as an opening to suggest some laid-back bonding time.
“You and I should watch Law and Order sometime,” said the smooth operator.
