Do you owe someone a conversation when firing them with cause after 2 weeks?

Long story short, I let someone go today because of an extremely inappropriate attitude. Basically, they have worked with us for 2ish weeks and 3 people have complained of being uncomfortable with their interactions. Today, a senior site lead sent this person from a job because of their performance and attitude. I rushed to the office to meet them there. Upon return to the office, I took their supplies. I couldn’t get much out except to say it isn’t working and they need to change their attitude. Of course I got a threatening follow up text after the fact saying that I was unprofessional for not talking further about the situation. I’m just wondering: Do you think I owed that person a conversation?
