“I’m sick of people saying cops need more training. You had 18 years to teach your kids it’s wrong to loot, steal, set buildings a blaze, block traffic, laser people’s eyes, overturn cars, destroy buildings and attack citizens. Who failed who?”

Who would be offended by that...other than mothers of criminals?

What did she think this is, a free country? We haven’t had freedom of speech for a long, long time.

Losing your livelihood or professional status, or social media monetized enterprise opportunities and possibly being doxxed, assaulted and going to jail-——are not elements of a free country.

I think your kind offer of taking her to your home for protection against mob protesters until this is all settled was compassionate.

I can’t imagine what Vicki Gunvalson of OC would say. Probably something twice as truthful after a few glasses of wine.

She seen the “error” of her ways...

After the posts resurfaced last week, Nguyen apologized on Instagram.

“I want to acknowledge and apologize for my deleted Facebook posts from 2020 that resurfaced today. At the time, I thought I was speaking out against violence, but I have since learned how offensive and hurtful my words were,” she wrote. “It’s why I deactivated that account more than a year ago and why I continue to try to learn about perspectives different from my own. I regret those posts and am sincerely sorry for the pain they caused.”

Augh. They got to her.

Go woke, go broke. Too bad. Had high hopes for Brave as an alternative to Firefox and Google search engines. Brave is just as slimy and cowardly as the rest of the woke, leftist weenies.

‘RHOSLC’ cast is ‘so relieved’ Jennie Nguyen was fired

https://daytonews.com/2022/01/25/rhoslc-cast-is-so-relieved-jennie-nguyen-was-fired/

Jenny Nguyen’s snowflake has melted and her The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City co-stars couldn’t be happier.

“Everyone is so happy that Jenny got fired,” a source close to the production tells Page Six exclusively.

“Absolutely no one wanted to film with her or be associated with her after the social media drama.”

The insider reiterated, “All the cast are happy to see her gone.”

Bravo and Nguyen immediately responded to Page Six’s request for comment.

The network announced on Tuesday that Nguyen, 44, had lost her seat due to backlash over a series of controversial social media posts that recently surfaced.

“Bravo has stopped filming with Jenny Nguyen and she will no longer be on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City,” Bravo said in a statement.

“We acknowledge that we did not take appropriate action after her offensive social media posts came to our attention. Moving forward, we will work to improve our processes to make more informed and thoughtful casting decisions.”

Prior to her departure, fans were calling for Bravo to fire Nguyen from the Housewives franchise. One went so far as to create a Change.org petition called “Fire Jenny Nguyen for being a racist.”

“Facebook Jenny Nguyen shows who she really is. It shows us what she believes in and how she feels about black people. Posts are not problematic. Beyond ignorance. They justify violence. They laugh at violence. This is disgusting,” the petition reads, echoed by thousands of outraged social media users.

Last week, Nguyen came under fire after viewers of The Housewife found numerous posts on her Facebook page mocking the Black Lives Matter movement and protesters. She posted and posted memes and photos with phrases like “BLM Thugs” and “Violent Gangs”.

Nguyen initially apologized in a statement posted on Instagram the same day the posts went public, writing in part, “I thought I was against violence.”

The reality TV rookie, who joined RHOSLC in its second season, added that “she has since learned how offensive and hurtful [her] the words were.

However, Nguyen’s former colleagues condemned her past behavior in their own social media statements and then unfollowed her on Instagram.

Jen Shah, whose husband and sons are black, called Nguyen’s apology “disingenuous” and said, “We have a lot to talk about.”

Lisa Barlow, who has maintained a friendship with Nguyen for years, said Nguyen’s posts “surprised” her. However, she “definitely” does not “endorse” her former friend’s comments and insists that she is an “anti-racist” herself.

Meredith Marks said she was “vomited” by Nguyen’s “vile” posts. Meanwhile, Whitney Rose was “shocked and saddened” and Heather Gay admitted to being “disappointed” with Nguyen’s actions.

Page Six has confirmed that RHOSLC season 3 filming began before Nguyen’s social media scandal became known. It remains unclear how they will react to her departure from the show.

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City airs Sundays at 9:00 pm ET on Bravo.

Jenny Nguyen lost her place on the reality show after offensive posts appeared on Facebook, many of which made fun of the Black Lives Matter movement.
