Prioleau is suing for negligent hiring and retention. In a statement, Walmart spokesman Randy Hargrove said, “We are reviewing the complaint and will be responding as appropriate with the court.” (This is standard procedure for a lawsuit, and almost all companies respond to pending cases in this manner.)
