BLM Co-Founder Lashes Out At ‘Racist’ Media For Exposing $6 Million Mansion

Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors lashed out at “racist” media coverage that exposed her $6 million mansion in Los Angeles that was purchased with donor funds.
The report was published by investigative journalist Sean Kevin Campbell, a black man, in New York Magazine on Tuesday, the Washington Examiner reported. Cullors called Campbell’s reporting a “racist and sexist” attack against BLM.

“Yesterday’s article in New York Magazine is a despicable abuse of a platform that’s intended to provide truthful information to the public,” she said Tuesday on Instagram. “Journalism is supposed to mitigate harm and inform our communities. That fact that a reputable publication would allow a reporter, with a proven and very public bias against me and other Black leaders, to write a piece filled with misinformation, innuendo and incendiary opinions, is disheartening and unacceptable.”

Cullors quietly purchased the property in October 2020 in the Los Angeles Studio City neighborhood, and provided in donor funds to Dyane Pascall, who has close ties with Cullors, the outlet reported. The co-founder made the purchase just two weeks after the organization received a $66.5 million cash infusion from a former fiscal sponsor.
