Erika needs to stop talking. Her stories are changing and it is not a good look for her. Tom barely talked to me the last years of our marriage, he won’t and hasn’t spoken to me after I filed for divorce turned into he calls me every day. I am not involved in his law firm at all turned into his attorneys call me

This. However, I felt that what she said below may be the most honest thing she’s said to date as well as the most infuriating use of the word unfortunately. Note, I took the liberty of, ahem, translating every I/me:

It’s very relaxing trying to converse with people who are responding to my comment- I’m able to drink my coffee in the morning while scrawling through 657 responses looking for my name.

Not just The Root, but all of the sites...and no, they’re all fucked, and management hasn’t said shit about it. It’s been this way for months for me; don’t worry, though; they’re hard at work trying to figure out how best to drive this place even further into the ground. You just have to trust we’re in good hands.

...except the acid from the pine needles kills your grass. you really can’t win with any kind of tree, so i think it’s a matter of choose your aggravation.

OT...

Didn’t a bunch of us say something similar at the time as well?

Yeah, I still don’t get that. People like her NEED a clue-by-four upside the head to ever change.

Let me also remind you that the very Black man she is now throwing under the white supremacist bus refused to participate in prosecuting the charges against her, which were dropped, and he even said he didn’t feel the charges were necessary.

Literally just said same thing before reading your post 

Bitch, please! Everyone, including your employer, saw what you did and who you are. I wouldn’t give Bari Weiss a jar of urine to douse herself if she were on fire so I am certainly not going to listen to her podcast to find that she didn’t ask the simple question: he asked you to put your dog on a leash, why didn’t

Although some believe that a bad outcome is punishment enough for children, Amy Cooper is an adult. Christian Cooper was more kind to Amy Cooper than she deserved. That is to his credit. Mr. Cooper turned the other cheek.

So let me get this straight, Amy here acts like an asshole on camera where everyone can see toward Christian, trying to lie ON VIDEO to the police, and even after he forgave her (really looking like he shouldn’t have done that) she still acts with sheer caucasity. Again, that shit right there. Thhhaaaaattt’s

How tha fuck you forget there’s video receipts of none of that shit happening only a year later and think ya gonna walk away the victim?

Her obvious concern for nothing but her own self interest make this whole Central Park incident seem line one in a long line of bullshit she’s done to black people. And, yeah, probably other people in general.

After losing her job I guess she decided there’s more money in Klanning than rebuilding her life. She’s almost over-qualified for the GOP ticket now.

This woman is an attention whore. All she needed to do following the charges being dropped and having been put on blast once was to shut the fuck up, make a REAL apology and fade into the background.

You’re “scared” of a black man, that you never met, whom was calmly asking you to leash your dog in a delicate park for bird-watching. Sounds like the system is working as intended.

“Yes, I could have kept a low profile, not gone on a podcast, tried to put this incident behind me, rebuild my life into something meaningful for me and others and and learn from this incident, but where’s the fun in that? So, anyway, this big scawy black man appwoached me, this widdle white woman...”

Yeah, I didn’t know what it meant, either, and I’m sorry I had to learn what it meant with a side helping of sarcasm and dismissal.
