    Mary: the picture of fillers and plastic surgery gone very wrong.



  2. Mike Kreen on August 26, 2022 at 4:08 am

    There’s a lot more to this story, including with that fire fighter.



  3. Everything You Know is Wrong on August 26, 2022 at 4:09 am

    Hilarious! I love when rich people and racists are called out for their white supremacy. When they are both rich and racist, it’s glorious to see them squirm.



  4. Sister Sherry Doing Stuff on August 26, 2022 at 4:11 am

    Well, they’re racists. Now THEY know.



  5. John Galt on August 26, 2022 at 4:11 am

    These people are plain paranoid They see it everywhere Chill…



  6. Bia Edwards on August 26, 2022 at 4:12 am

    Ok, I’m not racist but I did post racist tweets – but not using my name. Gotta laugh at people like Karen/Mary who actually think they are better than others cause they made a few bucks. Mary you are trashy and so dumb you outed yourself as a birdbrain bigot. Does Trump have any supporters who are people of quality and integrity. N-o-p-e! So proud of this firefighter!



  7. ncubesays on August 26, 2022 at 4:12 am

    How can this be equally infuriating and hilarious at the same time?



  8. CoopyKat on August 26, 2022 at 4:13 am

    Of course they hire a typical scummy attorney.



  9. REIDDEBSTER on August 26, 2022 at 4:14 am

    The life size Donald Trump cutout says it all🙄



  10. Userme on August 26, 2022 at 4:14 am

    Now I saw how racists people would look like when they cry. FAKE.



  11. steve ownes on August 26, 2022 at 4:14 am

    2 crybabies



  12. Giselle Vascoo on August 26, 2022 at 4:15 am

  13. dmoney668 on August 26, 2022 at 4:16 am

    REAL tough guy now. "snowflakes!" They’re all the same – weak, loud mouths with no heart. Have some more botox lady



  14. Understanding Understanding on August 26, 2022 at 4:16 am

    White tears only when whiteness is put on front….I don’t understand White folks with worth in there pocket all they have to do is live and mind there business but oh no….



  15. Lucas P on August 26, 2022 at 4:17 am

    1:19 ….so in 2022 you throw a huge party and there are no pictures???…
    1:47 ….once again is 2022 ..stop challenging reporters who get payed by the hour to dig into people’s past…



  16. Carpentar Friendly on August 26, 2022 at 4:19 am

    Minorities crying again lol it never ends.



  17. Mary Rainwater on August 26, 2022 at 4:20 am

    I am white and all those white people are telling lies and they are not sorry, until they are sorry. Shame on them! Shame on them all, they should get a DNA test and discover how wonderful it is to have African American Blood line, those idiots!



  18. Arnabi Arnab on August 26, 2022 at 4:21 am

    “Cancel culture could be cruel”

    😂😂😂😂😂😂



  19. Billy Yank on August 26, 2022 at 4:22 am

    accountability is real.



  20. CoopyKat on August 26, 2022 at 4:23 am

    LOLLLLLL watching these 2 idiots CRY on camera is hilarioius. They think they can do whatever they want, no matter how racist and ugly it is, and get away with it. I also don’t believe their children are being attacked, most people that do something stupid CLAIM they are being threatened just to get sympathy.



  21. Random overpopulated world ideas on August 26, 2022 at 4:25 am

    THERE ARE ALWAYS PICS OF A PARTY. I call bull****



  22. MR. STEEL on August 26, 2022 at 4:26 am

    What does a small pepperoni pizza and a black man have in common? Neither of the two can feed a family of four. 😆



  23. Kimberly Stanfield on August 26, 2022 at 4:27 am

    Children should not be held accountable for their parent’s deeds.



  24. Brandon Longbottom on August 26, 2022 at 4:29 am

    Usually when rich white people hold a press conference to deny they did something…they definitely did it



  25. Robert Cooper on August 26, 2022 at 4:29 am

    The husband sent the wife to Mickey Rourke’s plastic surgeon.



  26. Free Girl on August 26, 2022 at 4:31 am

    She can give any kind of party she wants, she can also be exposed as a racist, true to character, "my pain cause of YOUR words." Not her words. FIND ANYTHING RACIST. LOL



  27. Sekou Smalling on August 26, 2022 at 4:33 am

    now imagine being a black patient of this man in the medical field!..trusting him with your health..and she is in real estate



  28. mr t on August 26, 2022 at 4:33 am

    I just seen your Twitter accounts. These are two of the most racist mfs in New York. Period.



  29. Baby Lane on August 26, 2022 at 4:35 am

    THE TEARS 🤣🤣🤣 FKN RACIST POS’S



  30. TheMoneypresident on August 26, 2022 at 4:37 am

    Don’t care.



  31. Glazed Guava on August 26, 2022 at 4:37 am

    I’m not racist i swear!!,, oh you found my burner account…yeah i’m sorry. LMAO.



  32. Duane Dailey on August 26, 2022 at 4:38 am

    They did this because THE REALITY IS THAT SLAVERY NEVER ENDED. LOOK HOW THIS STILL ARE. YOUR RIGHT , my bad your vote is still a amendment! Wake up! She snitched on tbe lie.
    Juneteenth was a pacification tactic. We are not free !



  33. Sam S on August 26, 2022 at 4:39 am

    “I dare you to find anything racist they have done”—immediately finds a racist Twitter account…



  34. ZA. on August 26, 2022 at 4:41 am

    I thought the press conference with the couple and lawyer was a parody skit. I’m glad they came out and did it because it made me laugh, it’s was like an awkwardly scripted reality show. The couple and lawyer’s have no idea how ridiculous and stupid it made them look. There should only be one emotion from them, embarrassment.



  35. Sekou Smalling on August 26, 2022 at 4:42 am

    All those fake tears dried up quick…i wish i could purge these scums of society..



  36. AxeMan808 on August 26, 2022 at 4:42 am

    Oh. "Cancel culture can be cruel." But to these people, racism is never cruel for some reason – it’s always just a joke or good fun.



  37. DraXxX on August 26, 2022 at 4:47 am

    🤣🤣🤣



  38. Frances Santiago on August 26, 2022 at 4:49 am

    they are racist



  39. Terry Toole on August 26, 2022 at 4:50 am

    Republicans. The worst enemy of Democracy, and America in our Country’s history. Perhaps the ONLY good thing about the X Commander in Grief, is that the G.O.P. has shown Americans, and the entire world, just how low they will go, to benefit themselves. They have EMBRACED fascism, lies, and violence to eliminate any hope of regaining any resemblance of the America that I proudly served in the U.S. Army. They have disgraced the THOUSANDS of American service people, who gave their lives to preserve what they would so easily give up. Democracy. I hope that you traitorous, stupid, S.O.B.s live LONG LIVES, so you can suffer the consequences, of what you fools have done to my Country, and World. This will NEVER end well. The division caused by ONE, stupid, nasty, narcissistic, white collar criminal, traitorous, autocratic, sociopathic, fascist, lying game show host, and the absolutely EVIL, G.O.P. who have backed him in every crime he’s committed, cannot be undone. We will NEVER AGAIN, be one Nation, Indivisible. Who, in their right mind could EVER forget and forgive what you Trumpie S.O.B.s have done ? Your damage is unrepairable. Now, all that’s left for us TRUE PATRIOTS, is revenge, vengeance, and JUSTICE .



  40. Kim_f D on August 26, 2022 at 4:52 am

    Lol they crying there no crying in racism



  41. hyuggie on August 26, 2022 at 4:54 am

    "We don’t have pictures from the actual party but we’re showing you these "staged" photos that were taken a week later to give you an idea about the theme of the party which was political and definitely not racist"
    LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL



  42. zw a on August 26, 2022 at 4:54 am

    her fake tars + her secret racist twitter account… who does she think shes fooling?



  43. DitkasPushBroom on August 26, 2022 at 4:56 am

    These people are ridiculous. Feel sorry for us because we are being bullied for be racist.



  44. dmoney668 on August 26, 2022 at 4:57 am

    This BOTOX trend has to stop! Ladies, you look ridiculous. It’s embarrassing. And these two are AWFUL well done by that Firefighter



  45. Erasmo Martinez on August 26, 2022 at 4:57 am

    Shouldn’t have thrown the racist party then



  46. 4get About It on August 26, 2022 at 5:01 am

    Why don’t white people shed tears when they cry? Things that make you go huh?



  47. Tanim Hussain on August 26, 2022 at 5:02 am

    Just did a search and noticed Fox News did not report on this. Hummmm



  48. RL Folder on August 26, 2022 at 5:03 am

    Reap what you sow, doctor. No tears or sympathy for you. Forget the party, those tweets your wife posted were hardcore hateful. Not talking “all lives matter” quips, but pictures with hardcore stereotypes, including KFC buckets. You served that at the party, claiming it was an “easy meal.” Also easy to use as a bigoted post, too, it seems. Everyone would have a drop of respect for you if you just admitted wrongdoing.



  49. Sumon Jamal on August 26, 2022 at 5:04 am

    Cryin’ just like the cow that Jimmy Swaggert is… 😂"I’m not a racist! Not one bit! Just look at my social media posts! …Oh… Uh oh…Cuh-cuh cancel culture! Cuh- cuh can’t we all just get along? "
