A man who has worked at SeaWorld for 36 years has claimed he was fired for a seemingly innocuous reason.
Lynn Frey, who is known to many as Lynn The Mime, revealed that he had been traveling to his job as a mime at SeaWorld when he says he was approached by a security guard at the park.
Frey worked as a mime at the park for 36 years, performing to crowds of guests.

In a video posted on TikTok, he said he parked his car in the park before riding his bike to work – as he would every other day.
But as he was riding in, he allegedly approached a security guard about his bike, leading to a dispute between the two.
In the video on social media, he said: “As I cycle through the security guard, I see some security ladies that I’ve seen a few times over the years, and they just say ‘good morning’.”
He added: “And I got on my bike and left. And as I was leaving, I heard a gentleman yell out in a loud voice, ‘Hey, come here!’
The man was another security guard who, according to the performer, kept telling Frey he wasn’t allowed to ride his bike in the park.
Frey said he responded by saying, “Excuse me? I’ve been biking in and out of this park for years.”
After the pair went back and forth for several minutes, Frey claims the man ordered her to park her bike and walk.
Frey further alleges that the guard then went to HR and reported that Frey had sworn at him and thrown his bike.
But Frey disputes the claim, saying: “I didn’t insult him. Everyone there knows me and knows I wouldn’t do that.

“I don’t call people out. I don’t have that in me. That’s not in my nature. If you push me hard enough, yeah, I can say something. He didn’t push me that hard. The conversation wasn’t that tense.”
Frey claims he was subsequently fired and denied the opportunity to perform one last time.
He said: “I asked them if I could come in and do one last show. They said no. I asked if I could come in and tell my side of the story. They said no. There’s nothing I can do about it. sorry, people”.
He also claimed he was banned from Seaworld property.
Mima added: “So Sea World never let me tell my side of the story. They just judge, jury and executioner … so fast. 36 years at SeaWorld. Obviously, that means nothing to them.”
