Victoria was mauled by a pitbull earlier on this year. As well as losing her right eye, her jaw, nose and cheekbones were broken, and she also suffered facial scarring.

Speaking on her daughter's Facebook page last week, Victoria's mother wrote: "Does this face look scary to you?

"Last week at KFC in Jackson MS this precious face was asked to leave because her face scared the other diners. I personally will never step foot in another KFC again and will be personally writing the CEO."

Responding on their Facebook page, KFC wrote: "As soon as we learned of the report on Friday, we immediately began an investigation.

"This kind of hurtful and disrespectful action would not be tolerated by KFC. Regardless of the outcome of our investigation, we have apologised to Victoria's family and are committed to assisting them."
