Feds: Woman who said her landlord was racist made it all up

A woman who publicly accused her landlord of racism to fight an eviction is now facing federal charges. Investigators say she made it all up.

Dermisha Pickett was going through the eviction process in February when she went public with a voicemail and text messages, supposedly from her landlord, stating she was being evicted due to her race.

Pickett claimed her landlord, Sergey Briskman, told her he would "not rent to African Americans" and that he would "rather put a white family in the unit."

Pickett and her attorney, Fanon Rucker, filed a counterclaim of discrimination, then investigators from Housing and Urban Development launched an investigation.

According to court documents, Pickett faked the text messages using a separate phone and made false statements to investigators.

Demand continues to exceed supply.

This sub attempts to create a ~neutral place where participants may discuss CW topics without tribal turf-defending and finger-pointing. This sub is not as heavily moderated as others, but it is definitely not a free-for-all.

Text posts with context only. Explain how your submission relates to the Culture War and attempt to do so without sneering. "Why do I have a bad reaction to this?" is far better than "Look at this idiot."
