The granddaughter of the legendary singer and activist Nina Simone took to social media to lob some very damaging accusations against Vice President Kamala Harris.
ReAnna Simone Kelly said that Harris “bullied” her mother, Lisa Simone Kelly, into near suicide and left her family bereft of any benefit from the singer’s estate during Harris’ time as California’s state attorney general. Nina Simone died in 2003.
“Nina’s granddaughter here. My family doesn’t run her estate anymore. It was taken away from us & given to white people. Our family name was DRAGGED in the media. We get NO royalties, nothing. Wanna hold someone accountable?Ask Kamala Harris why she came for my family,” Kelly tweeted on Friday.
