The publication described the franchisee as being incredulous that Fogle "paid $100" to have sex with the girl, identified in the legal papers as Jane Doe. The woman franchisee also claimed to have shown those text messages to management, Business Insider reported, but added nothing was done.

In its story, BI added that no record was made of her complaint.

In July, Subway suspended its relationship with Fogle after it was revealed he was the subject of a child porn investigation. On Saturday, the fast food chain released a statement that called the allegations, if they were true, "appalling."

"The latest allegation about Jared Fogle, if true, is appalling. As previously stated, we have suspended our relationship with Jared."
