An alleged anti-black hate incident at a Washington, D.C.-area middle school that media outlets tried to link to Vice President Mike Pence’s wife was a hoax, the school said Monday.
Amari Allen, 12, accused three white classmates earlier in September of pinning her down and cutting off her dreadlocks during an attack at Immanuel Christian School, a private school in Springfield, Virginia.
“They said my hair was nappy and I was ugly,” Allen, a sixth-grader, told NBC Washington in an emotional interview.
The story received national attention not just because of the attack, but also because the school has a high-profile faculty member: Karen Pence.
The second lady teaches art at the school two days a week.
NBC News and other outlets highlighted Pence’s job at Immanuel, which has come under the spotlight because the school adheres to traditional Christian teachings and reserves the right to expel gay and transgender students.
NBC News lead paragraph reads: “Three sixth-grade white boys at a Christian school in Virginia where Vice President Mike Pence’s wife works cut a black girl’s hair, calling it ‘nappy’ and her ‘ugly,’ the girl says.”
Though there was no allegation that Pence knew of the incident, NBC News reached out to her and the vice president’s office for comment.
Police in Fairfax County, Virginia, also opened an investigation into the incident.
But the school said Allen admitted to fabricating the attack, according to The Washington Post, citing a statement from her family.
“We can now confirm that the student who accused three of her classmates of assault has acknowledged that the allegations were false. We’re grateful to the Fairfax County Police Department for their diligent work to investigate these allegations,”

Yeah, and who coached her?
So, she cut her own hair?
Her family cut her hair?
Or her hair was never cut?
In ANY of these scenarios, the absence of any chopped locks *at* the school should have precluded this story’s release AT ALL.
The fact that this false story went viral AND targeted & smeared Mrs. Pence and Christian schools is PROOF that the mainstream media are EVIL.
I dont think all of the ones you believe are true, are true either.
The left NEVER apologize, they just run with “Oh you know it could have happened” and thats it
“...an attack at Immanuel Christian School, a private school in Springfield, Virginia...”
Hmmm....private school = expensive. I wonder how much ‘Mr. and Mrs. Taxpayer’ are shelling out for this young ‘lady’ to attend there.
If ya can’t find any racism, just effing lie and make it up!
Just follow the kid home and see what’s behind the door. The media and democrats have turned this country into shambles and the churches sit idly by and watch it happen.
At the end of the article. (though not explicitly to Mrs. Pence)
“To those young boys and their parents, we sincerely apologize for the pain and anxiety these allegations have caused,” Allen’s grandparents wrote in a statement, according to WaPo. “To the administrators and families of Immanuel Christian School, we are sorry for the damage this incident has done to trust within the school family and the undue scorn it has brought to the school. To the broader community, who rallied in such passionate support for our daughter, we apologize for betraying your trust.”
Fair enough, but I think Epstein was pretty much true. He had a history of his actions.
How much money is her family making on this hoax.Charges for police reimbursement charges need to be charged.
I knew it.
Another fake noose...pun intended.
These are becoming “dog bites man.”
someone need to compile a list of these hate crime hoaxes over the past 10 (?) years.
It’s all they have
This is obviously a hate crime...where’s the FBI investigation??
I personally favor the death penalty for these hoaxers.
Yeah, and who coached her?
___________________________
NBC, MSNBC, CBS, NY Times, I could go on but the list is just to long to bother. Another FR poster said that if there is so much racism in this country why do ‘they’ have to keep making it up. I has been going on for decades. Up till now it has been useful for the left to get the legislation passed that they want.
Will NBC still want to talk to the Pences about it now?
She’s a 12 year old girl. When her parents first asked her about her hair being cut, she told them that she and a friend were playing ‘beauty shop’. After the parents pressed, she came up with the second story. I knew it was a hoax from the start.
I knew when I heard this it sounded outrageous! I was waiting for the truth the come out.
When I read about this th red flags went up.....some black people watch to much TV bullsh!t!!!!!
