0:50
It's your girl Ashley bringing y'all another great episode. Man. I hope

1:04

1:08
I'm already ready to get off and it's not even Friday. But I'll take
1:14

1:17
gonna hope y'all have been enjoying us episodes that I've been bringing to y'all.
1:21
Tell y'all, man, I've been in the bag baby. When I tell
1:23
y'all, I am trying to do this as I'm trying to really make this
1:29
a career, like I really want to do this full time. Like my
1:32
affirmation is to walk away from corporate America. So that is my goal,
1:37
and I'm gonna keep reciting that every day because guess what. Eventually, I'm
1:42
gonna be my own boss and then I won't ever have to work for anybody.
1:46
But before we even get started, y'all know what I do, y'all
1:49
already. No, I always, always, always, always, always have
1:55
to do my mental health check in because I made it post the other day
2:00
on Facebook and I said I needed men to take care of their health,
2:06
especially their mental but I also mean that for women as well. Mental health,
2:10
mental illness is on the rise, suicide is on the rise. So
2:16
every time I get ready to start a show, I always always have to
2:24
play something motivating, something inspiring, because I want people to know that you're
2:28
not alone, that it is okay to have those feelings those emotions. Just
2:34
don't lay in them too long, because once you get into the dark,
2:38
it's very difficult to come back into the light. And I can only speak
2:42
for experience, So y'all know what I do. Hey, suh, hey,
2:47
my baby, y'all, I've been getting my little fingers right during the
2:52
little hearts and everything. Baby, let me tell you something. I speak
2:57
entrepreneurship over everybody. Everybody. I speak millionaires, billionaires, I speak that
3:06
over everybody, my black women, my black men. If I can open
3:12
the door for somebody, That's what I'm gonna do. And this is why
3:15
I said I'm going hard this year twenty twenty four. I'm going hard.
3:19
I'm in the bag. And when I say, I'm in my bag,
3:22
baby, like I say, we about to have some real uncomfortable conversations.
3:27
We about to talk about some things that we don't know that we sweep under
3:30
the rug. I'm here to pull the rug back. We doing some We
3:34
are definitely doing some spring cleaning. Okay. We are clearing out the cob
3:38
webs. We pulling them schoolcases off the back. We separating that dirty loundery
3:43
from the clean laundry. That's what I'm doing for twenty twenty four. I'm
3:46
waking a lot of shit up and I'm clearing I'm clearing the cab webs out.
3:52
So he's just say, girl, I receive it. Baby. Let
3:55
me tell you something, and I'm gonna keep saying it. I'm gonna keep
3:59
saying it. We are gonna walk away from corporate America. We are gonna
4:01
be our own bosses. We are gonna be able to call our own shots
4:06
and work when we want to. You know what I'm saying and really do
4:10
things that we enjoy doing. Don't get me wrong. That's not a jab
4:15
to corporations, but it's just not fun if you're just doing something the same
4:21
every day, if it's repetitive every day. I want to be able to
4:25
enjoy what I do, and I'm utilizing the gift that God has given to
4:30
me to do a platform like this to reach not only city wide, but
4:35
I wanna go worldwide. I want to go nationwide. I am speaking,
4:40
black Girl Interrupted will be a household name, and can't nobody else tell me
4:44
differently. So there we go on that part. So, baby, let
4:50
me tell you something. One of the things that I've learned since is you
4:55
have to speak it like it's already happened. You have to be specific,
4:59
not pacific, y'all, specific with what you want. You know what I'm
5:03
saying. You have to be specific when you speak to the universe. You
5:09
have to be I'm talking about very descriptive. I mean, you got to
5:14
talk about what like it's already happened. Black Girl Interrupted is gonna be a
5:17
household name. Everyone's gonna know black Girl Interrupted. Everyone's gonna know Ash Lippitt's
5:24
everybody's gonna know me. Everyone's gonna know what black Girl Interrupted has done to
5:29
help the black community. Everybody's gonna know that. And so when I speak
5:32
my affirmations, I'm very specific. I tell the universe what I want.
5:38
I want to show, I wanna I want. Matter of fact, I'm
5:43
gonna have tours that are gonna be free. I'm not gonna charge people to
5:49
come and hear me speak. Why why I don't knock nobody else but for
5:58
me. I want the narrative to change on black men and black women because
6:04
we're not everything that you see on TV. You'll get what I'm saying.
6:08
So that's what Ashley's gonna do. If I make a difference in one person's
6:13
life, I've done exactly what God has allowed me to do, and you
6:15
can't take that away from me. God is gonna continue to bless me in
6:19
front of my enemy's baby. He's gonna allow my enemies to be my foot
6:23
school to pivot me to the next level. And I know I'm going to
6:27
the next level because other people that I'm learning to surround myself with, people
6:30
that really truly want to see me win with no ill intentions. So I
6:34
say all of that to say, surround yourself with winners, because losers don't
6:40
like winners. So if you feel like you're not advancing, maybe you need
6:45
to look in your circle. And I'm gonna leave it at that. So
6:49
he just says, you are worldwide. Oh yeah, I'm nationwide. I'm
6:54
city white. They know me. They're gonna know Black Girl Interrupted before they
6:57
end of twenty twenty four by summertime. Watch what I do. Watch what
7:01
I'm doing, because I'm walking in it. I'm kicking those down. I'm
7:05
no longer taking no fear an answer. I'm sitting in emails. I'm reaching
7:10
out to pr people, Babe, everybody, because you're gonna know who black
7:14
Girl Interrupted is, and you're gonna know what I stand for. You're gonna
7:15
know everything that I do and how I want it for the greater good,
7:19
for the black, for black and black men and black women. I'm ready
7:24
to see us all when we've been kicked down too long. So that's what
7:29
we're gonna do. So let's go ahead and jump into Like I said,
7:32
I always play something positive, something inspirational, something motivational. Uh, here
7:38
we're going, and we jumping into some nice conversation because let me say this.
7:42
I got a lot to say about this conversation that we have in tonight,
7:45
because baby, when I tell you this this story, here, here
7:50
we go, and then we're jumping into the conversation when everybody it's against you
7:58
or don't believe in you no more. It's a lonely feeling. Oh it
8:03
hurts very badly. I know what that's like. And look at you with
8:07
that look and say, why don't you try something else? Why don't you
8:11
give up? Get away from these people that's in your life that ain't doing
8:16
nothing. Get away from people in your life that's hay, get away from
8:20
them, get away from them. If you take an oak tree seed and
8:26
you put it in a two foot pot, that seed will never become the
8:31
oak tree that oak trees are capable of becoming, because it's gonna get stifled
8:37
by the two foot pot. New check this out. They nothing wrong with
8:41
the seed. Seed just fail prey to the environment. Don't you allow your
8:46
environment to dictate the oak tree that you become. Hey, time you moved
8:52
for being normal, to try to be exceptional. People are gonna like this
8:58
normal people. It makes them feel gonna judge you, And that's why every
9:01
true leader they're called weird, they're called eccentric. When you do the things
9:07
of real leadership, you're gonna be called strange. Get strong enough in your
9:11
own skin that when people laugh at you, or when they throw stones at
9:16
you, you keep on going. I respect any motherfucker that wakes up every
9:22
day and work. They ass off to live their life and lifestyle a clubbing,
9:28
party and hanging out. That ain't from me. I'm gonna be out
9:31
here running in the hot sun, practicing while everybody else is clubbing and hanging
9:35
out. You got your focus right. Don't expect people to understand you.
9:41
Don't expect it to make sense to anybody. Why you've got to do this?
9:45
Why you have got to go? Why you leave? This is a
9:48
good job. I'm going, They pay you well. I'm going. Why.
9:50
I don't understand. You don't have to I'm going for me. This
9:56
is something I have got to do. How are you going to make it?
9:58
I don't know I will. The universe responds to the man or woman
10:05
that refuses to be denied, because that is your commitment, that business that
10:09
you want, that book you want to write, that dream that you have
10:13
of controlling your destiny that is yours, that's available to you. But you've
10:18
got to be willing to stand there and face disappointment, not have support,
10:22
feel lonely, doubt yourself, sometimes be rejected again and again and again,
10:28
become bankrupt if necessary, again and again and again, and refuse to turn
10:31
around until life gives it up. Life will always be, to a log
10:37
extent, what you make, not what circumstances will make of it, not
10:41
what other people will make of it, not what other people say it will
10:46
be, not what the environment will try and dictate to you, but what
10:50
you make of your life. So when you're in common, get ready for
10:52
the criticism. When you're in common, get ready for the opposition. When
10:56
you're uncommon, get ready for the common people not to understand you. If
11:00
I decided to experience the fear of rejection, the fear of know the fear
11:07
of failure, the fear of standing by myself, the fear of people not
11:13
liking me, what else is available? Of taking a chance? A fear
11:16
of losing it all? What else is available to me? People are going
11:22
to think you're crazy. You don't have nothing but lit in the court of
11:24
your pockets. You're only talking about living your creed and people laughing at you
11:30
and they're doubting you to case gouts, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell
11:35
you, I believe in revenge like Frank chinaf and he said, the best
11:37
revenge is massive success in ise a killing him with kindness, sourcing with a
11:45
success. So I want people to remember that it's not where your start is
12:13
how you're finished. Let them laugh, let them point, let them talk,
12:18
just throw your success in your face once you make it to the finish
12:20
line. Bingo on that one. So anyway, like I say, I'm
12:26
still doing the mental health check ins dropping that comments. Let me know how
12:28
you feeling. Today's Thursday, January the twenty fifth. Y'all, we are
12:33
almost man, can you believe it? We're almost two months into twenty twenty
12:37
four. Like, if you not doing something productive every day, what are
12:41
you doing with your life? I just want to throw that out there.
12:43
But anyway, but this is not going to be a long episode. But
12:48
then again, who knows. But I want to get into I want to
12:50
get into the meat and potatoes of this conversation tonight. So many of y'all
12:54
remember the young lady here in Houston, Texas back. I want to say
12:58
that was in like September who allegedly was assaulted by a man. She was
13:03
hitting the face with a brick, allegedly for not wanting to give a man
13:09
her phone number. So let me say this as a person that is a
13:13
domestic violence survivor, domestic violence is not a jewel. When this story first
13:20
broke and I listened to everything that this lady was saying, cooplus two was
13:26
not equal in four to me. So as I as I you know,
13:30
was listening to the lives and people talking, and I even jumped on her
13:33
live and was listening to her A story really made no sense. And I
13:39
say all of that to say is because we don't even know what you were
13:43
hitting a face with number two. The story changed multiple times. First it
13:50
was she was attacked, she was what a uber driver was trying to kidnap
13:54
her like it made zero sense to me. So, as many of you
13:58
know, the woman was found to be a liar. Kay. She was
14:05
arrested well, charges were filed against her theft by deception. She was on
14:11
the run. She did turn herself in day before yesterday. She posted a
14:16
ten thousand dollar bond and she was forced to surrender her passport. Ladies and
14:24
gentlemen, I just I had to go back, and I had to really
14:31
kind of take a lot of things in before I did this show tonight,
14:35
because again, I'm a domesic abuse survivor, and we see this so many
14:39
times, especially amongst black women. Black women are never taken seriously. So
14:46
y'all remember a few months back, we had Carl Russell who lied about being
14:50
kidnapped when there are really people out here that are really being kidnapped. Then
14:54
you have Rhoda Osman who concocted this saying she was hitting her face with a
15:01
brick by a man because she refused to give me his phone number. But
15:07
then video surface, multiple video surface of her corner around slapping people. I'm
15:15
not saying that this was a karma without directly saying it, but you read
15:22
what you saw, so please playing they are really There are real life domestic
15:37
violent situations going on right now, and you got men and women that are
15:41
not being taken seriously. But you have women like her that concoct these far
15:46
fetched stories to scheme and scam people. Not only did you scheme and scam,
15:52
but now you're gonna make it even more difficult for them to really take
15:56
Black women seriously when we are really being abuse. So let's just y'all already
16:03
know Apple's receipts, but it is right here. Let me let me get
16:07
right on down to it. Here we go live on KPRC TV and the
16:15
KPRC two plus live stream. The news starts now right out Tanny competing claims
16:22
about this viral video I'm won't let up many faith as woman seen, and
16:26
it cancels her plan to turn herself in for theft charges. Only on two,
16:30
the man accused of the violence reaches out to KPRC two and shares his
16:34
story in the aftermath of that night. What has it been like for you
16:40
having to stay silent? It is the hardest thing to do. It's not
16:44
say anything when the whole world is saying something about you. Thank you so
16:49
much for joining us. Tonight at ten o'clock on DANIELA. Gusman and I'm
16:52
Keith Garvin. The woman who made those allegations is wanted buy Houston police tonight
16:56
because investigators say she made up the story to profit from go fund me.
17:00
KPRC two is Briceduberry is now live at HPD Headquarters tonight with the exclusive interview
17:06
right Keith and Daniella. Roda Osman, who's known virallly as brick Lady,
17:12
was expected to surrender here at Houston Police Headquarters this afternoon. That did not
17:18
happen, but tonight, the man who she accused of throwing that brick at
17:22
her head when she says she wouldn't give him her phone number, is telling
17:26
only KPRC two what he says happened that night. You'll this man just hear
17:32
me in my face with a brick and all these black man just love.
17:36
This video has been seen millions of times. The man accused of the viral
17:40
brickthrow reached out to me for his first interview. This was a well thought
17:45
of plan, a diabolical plan. Olin Douglas is a father, son and
17:51
small business owner, but in September, allegations made by thirty three year old
17:55
Rooda Osmond nearly put it all at risk. It calls people who I thought
18:00
really knew me to kind of betray me. Douglas ays he met her at
18:03
a club near the Galleria as she wore a mask that only revealed her eyes.
18:07
He invited her to an after party, is as if she was trying
18:12
to get in some type of conflict, but says she was aggressive and very
18:17
intoxicated. They ended up in a car with friends. She physically didn't start
18:22
touching me until I asked her to leave, So you gotta get out outside
18:26
the car. Houston police say. Surveillance video then showed Osmond slapping him in
18:30
the face before he hit her back with what appears to be a plastic water
18:34
bottle in hand. You should never hit a woman in general, but I
18:40
didn't want to hit her. Actually, it was like she hit me and
18:44
I just reacted. According to court documents, the footage didn't match what Osmond
18:48
told police that a male Uber driver threw a brick at her and tried to
18:52
kidnap her, that she did her own investigation and was told that Douglas was
18:56
the one who assaulted her. Charged with theft because prosecutors say she made it
19:02
up and tried to profit from this GoFundMe that raised more than forty two thousand
19:07
dollars. It's been a divide between you know, black men, black women,
19:12
and it's been it's it's really evil what she did. If police didn't
19:19
have this surveillance video. This evidence that basically clears you. What kind of
19:25
situation do you think you would be in. I would be that guy I
19:30
hit a girl with a brick. I'm black. I'm surprised I didn't get
19:34
arrested in thirty seconds from this going out. Douglas says he's received death threats
19:41
from complete strangers. She's just manipulating people, using their pain, and that
19:48
should be the true crime here. He hopes people online will be more conscious.
19:53
The Internet is the Internet, It's not real life all the time.
20:02
And I spoke with Houston Police this evening. They tell me that the Major
20:04
Offender's Division investigated this alleged assault, but the evidence in the case led them
20:11
to this theft charge against Ozmon tonight. She does remain wanted, but in
20:15
an Instagram comment from her page, she said that she's been harmed and abused
20:21
and looks forward to her day in court. We're live downtown. I'm Bryce
20:23
Newberry, KPRC two News. Bryce. Thank you so you heard it from
20:32
the man itself that was accused of hitting her with the bridge. First off,
20:37
ladies, let me tell you something. Keep your hands to yourself if
20:44
you don't want to be hit. Don't hit nobody. And this is by
20:48
no means am I saying men, it's okay, But women, you need
20:52
to learn to keep your hands to yourself. And that seems to be the
20:56
problem amongst some of these cases that I've seen, some of these stories that
21:00
i've you know that I've seen or heard you women love to hit. Keep
21:08
your hands to yourself. Him throwing the wire bottle. I don't condone it,
21:15
but I understand it's a natural reaction. I totally get it. But
21:19
at the end of the day, you ladies stop because because what I don't
21:27
understand is you women, I really feel like, I really feel like y'all
21:34
need to be held accountable the lies that y'all tell. We've seen this before.
21:38
Women have lied about being you know, they they've lied about being raped,
21:45
saying men that have set you know, saying men have sexually assaulted and
21:48
they haven't. But you have real, true life victims out here that are
21:55
really truly going through this and cannot get the assistance or the help that they
22:02
need because the liars, like this woman right here, we've seen We've seen
22:07
men arrested and thrown in jail being falsely accused all because a woman was mad.
22:19
Again, I'm not condoning. Let me say this loud and clear.
22:25
I by no means am condoning that man throwing the water bottle at her.
22:30
But again, it was a natural reaction if you go. And I was
22:37
so disgusted, and I refuse to show any of the videos, but there's
22:40
videos of her going around slapping people, slapping men in the face. We
22:47
want our reparations and slapping people. Some of the people that I've spoken with
22:52
that are familiar with her have said, this is not the first time that
22:59
she has done this. It's not the first time. This woman could have
23:07
ruined this man's career. But what the what was the point? What was
23:14
the purpose of you making up a story like that. But for many that
23:19
don't know, this is not the first time that this young lady has done
23:23
this. This is not the first time, and it's disgusting to me.
23:30
He should says she another Carly Russell, And she is because I believe.
23:37
And I couldn't find the video, but there was a veillance footage that was
23:41
put out to the public that showed her when she came into the club.
23:45
She had a mask on that covered her entire face, and all you could
23:49
see was her eyes. That's all you could see, nothing else. So
23:52
we don't know if her face was already swollen like that. We don't know.
23:56
We went you know what. We may never don't know what really truly
24:00
happened to her. But what we do know is that she wasn't hitting the
24:04
face with a brick. We do know that she lied on this man,
24:10
and you heard from the man itself. She didn't get physical until he told
24:15
her she needed to get out of the car. But if you look her
24:19
up, you could find some of her videos. Well, she's going around,
24:25
she's slapping people. They say she was antagonizing people the entire night she
24:29
was in the club. If it wasn't a man that slapped her, a
24:34
woman probably would have. But when this story broke, like I say,
24:40
when I first heard it, it just her story just kept changing. It
24:45
didn't sound the same to me. And for you to lie for what what
24:52
did you gain from this? Now you're gonna have a felony on your record.
24:59
You tried to We tried to scheme this. The gofunding page raised over
25:03
forty two thousand dollars. Luckily, go fundme shut it down, and I
25:08
believe they gave the money back to the donors, so she never received any
25:12
other money from the go for me. And that's a good thing. But
25:17
it's the audacity for you to do that. With domestic violence on the rise,
25:27
black women not being taken seriously, and you come with this. God,
25:37
I pray that he shows no mercy on this woman, because you set
25:42
us back. Your cousin Carly already set us back, and out here you
25:47
come and you do this. Black women were already down at the bottom of
25:52
the totem pole. They already don't take us seriously, were hyper sexualized.
26:00
Now look at this, your cry will so now it's something really truly happens
26:07
to you. No one's gonna believe you, because again, ladies and gentlemen,
26:15
this is not the first time that she has done this. And I
26:18
got the receipts bathing. Huh. She just says, this is why our
26:22
people are not quick to help us black women because of it. Right,
26:27
you set a mouth for with that comment, because that's the problem. Now,
26:33
because I want to play something real quick before we jump back into this.
26:38
I want to I just want to play a little It's like thirty seconds
26:41
long. But I want you try to hear this, and then we're gonna
26:45
we're gonna go double back to this. Listen to what she says. Listen
26:49
stop calling your brothers and your cousins for every little argument because you women sit
26:53
on social media, you sit around or everybody kill everybody, but you never
26:56
tell the truth that it's been one thousand shootings and homicides trickle back down and
27:02
you're running your fucking mouth or you're calling somebody exaggerating because you feel disrespected.
27:06
Stop calling people. You can argue with somebody on the block that said leave
27:10
it there, you call your brother and that these niggas going through it the
27:11
whole summer, and then somebody child died about it. That's your fault.
27:17
That's your fault. You can't sit back and say it's not your fault because
27:19
they went too far and you shouldn't have called them. Let me tell y'all.
27:26
I keep that video, and y'all, I just got chills listening to
27:30
that because what she said was the absolute fact. Now, say, for
27:34
instance, she called her brother or cousin or somebody and said, oh this
27:41
he hit me with a brick. Blah blah blah, and so your people's
27:44
roll up. Here comes the altercation. Somebody's either hurt very bad or somebody's
27:51
killed because you lie. Because you lie, You're like, excuse me.
28:11
Now you have a person going to jail, a mother, father, some
28:18
bit having a verier loved one behind a line. And we see this all
28:25
the time. I've seen a lot of stories just like what she said.
28:34
I've seen it, you know. And the sad part about it is somebody
28:41
loses their life and all of a sudden you throw your hands up, But
28:45
you're the one that instigated. If you were really truly hit in the face
28:52
or assaulted, tell the police, but also tell the truth. Stand on
29:02
your truths. Because women are good for doing that. We're good for calling
29:07
our cousins and say, oh yeah, this dude's so and so blah blah
29:11
blah blah blah. And you got your people's running up, and then here
29:17
coach something. People going to jail, people going to the hospital, people
29:23
going to cemeteries or because of a lie. Again, what if a peoples
29:30
would have rolled up on this man and did something bad to this man?
29:34
And then now here we are. But this is what January is. So
29:38
what here we are four five months later, y'all. Yes, I had
29:44
to count. Here we are full five months later, and the truth has
29:48
come out that you told a lie and now this man could possibly be dead
29:52
behind the lie that you told, because you lied, because you exaggerate,
30:00
because you want to hype your people's up. Yeah he oh yeah he hey
30:04
yeah, she da da da da they come. Emotions are running high,
30:11
everybody's at a thousand, nobody's thinking rationally. And now you got somebody laid
30:15
out on the block. Now you got somebody lay it out on a sidewalk,
30:19
You got somebody laid it out in the parking lot because you lie.
30:25
I'm gonna say this, and I won't try to hear me good. Domestic
30:26
violence is not a joke. I'm gonna repeat that one more time. Domestic
30:37
violence is not a joke. It's not a joke. I remember when I
30:44
was in my in my situation and that man threw bailing water on me.
30:48
Do y'all know that the police didn't even arrest him that night because they didn't
30:52
see any marks on me. It wasn't until a few weeks later when I
31:00
had to go down to the police station. At this point, the side
31:03
of my face skin coming off. Then they went to arrest him. Brian
31:14
says, hey, Brian, it's good to see you, babe. I
31:18
hope things so well. So Brian says, I've been in that position kind
31:22
of and the heat of our argument things had gone to a level where both
31:26
of us were just completely pissed. I threw a bottle aiming at the missus
31:30
and so he said that he was so uncoordinated it hit our TV. He
31:34
said, it was a beer bottle and a completely shatter the TV at that
31:38
point, Brian, and and and that's and that's what we do. You
31:42
know, we're heated, I know, and we're heated, and we're going
31:48
at it back and forth, and in the heat of the moment, you're
31:49
throwing stuff, she's throwing stuff. Someone ends up hurt. I want people
31:55
to know Pola has always prevailed. So when that moment, thank god,
32:00
thankfully nobody was hurt, you or her, thank god, Brian. But
32:08
let that be a lesson learned to you, because when you have children,
32:15
your daughter see this, your son see this, and they think that this
32:16
is acceptable. So I'm glad no one was hurt. I'm so I'm glad
32:22
for that he said he's glad. He said, he's glad it didn't hit
32:24
the missus. Of course, long time. Don talk to Let me know
32:28
when you come back to Houston. You know, I always go by my
32:30
mom's house. Let me know when you're in town. We can go sit
32:34
down, go get some dinner or something, have us catch up. It's
32:37
been a long time. Uh so, my sister says, wait what Yeah,
32:43
I'm a domestic abuse survivor. Was in a relationship with a guy for
32:47
or five years. It started out as mental abuse, then it became physical,
32:55
and it got to the point where I was beat up at the bus
33:00
stop by him. I was beat up in front of his friends. No
33:05
one helped me. And the last straw was when he threw balling water on
33:09
me. And I don't mean just wreck. I'm talking about balling water that
33:14
you cooked with was thrown on me. And he was not arrested that night.
33:20
The police officer told me, but we don't see any marks on you.
33:24
So I left. But it wasn't until the next date, maybe a
33:30
few hours after it happened. Because I want to say it happened like like
33:32
maybe eleven twelve o'clock at night. I don't know. But when I woke
33:38
up a few hours later, my eye was swollen shut the right side.
33:43
They thought I was going to be blind. And he wasn't arrested. It
33:49
wasn't until I had to go down to the police station with my skin coming
33:55
off my face for them to five charges and go pick him up. And
34:00
by this time it was like two weeks later. And that's what I mean
34:07
when I say we're not taken seriously. She just says, I've been there
34:12
since. I lost everything running behind a dou Oh yeah, I done,
34:16
lost the guy back and lost it again running behind a man. But y'all
34:22
have to know domestic violence just as serious. Y'all, men and women are
34:30
victims. No one believes men men rank thirty five percent women attired police come
34:42
out, No one goes to jail the woman o the man ends up there.
34:51
So just thinking about what this woman has done, You've messed it up
34:55
for other people while you're sitting around here trying to scheme and scam and get
35:02
money. It's real life domestic abuse victims out here, and you want to
35:12
play with the law again. Let me say this again, we're already and
35:16
not taking seriously. They already don't believe a lot of the things that we
35:21
say, and for her to turn around and do this, it's despicable to
35:27
me when I tell y'all, when the news broke, it rocked me to
35:31
the core because I said, I remember when a police didn't take me seriously.
35:39
And you had people that were ready to fight one another in the comments
35:44
because they were like, old black men don't protect black women, old black
35:46
women. Y'all y'all just y'all victim blaming and not hear y'all all having a
35:52
back pedal because y'all advocated for this girl, and you got people that are
35:58
still advocating for this even though it's been proven that the girl was lying.
36:05
Maybe if I show you this video, maybe it'll change your thoughts, because
36:09
again, yo, this is not the first time that this young lady has
36:13
done this, just kate. The first time you about to see. The
36:19
woman at the center of a viral video who claimed a man through a brick
36:23
at her head because she would not give him her phone number is now wanted
36:29
by Houston police. This story got national attention after that woman live streamed what
36:35
she claimed was the aftermath on Instagram and started a gofund me only KPRCGS.
36:40
Bryce Newberry is talking with the prosecutor on this case tonight. He joins his
36:45
live near the Galleria with the latest. Bryce danielle A. Houston police got
36:50
called to this street in September and when they arrived, the woman scene in
36:53
that viral video told them that an uber driver threw a brick at her head
36:58
and then tried to kidnap. But tonight she has become the focus of this
37:02
criminal investigation because Houston police say the surveillance footage captured by cameras on this street
37:09
doesn't match her story. You'll just man, just hit me in my face
37:15
with a brick and all these black man just want. This video, with
37:17
more than a million likes on the Shade Rooms Instagram page, captured the moments
37:22
after what appeared to be a brutal attack in West Houston Faith. The woman
37:29
is thirty three year old Rhoda Osmond. What have I ever done to anybody
37:34
of my life to deserve this scene? Here? In tears in a hospital
37:37
gown, she told the detective. The responded that she was hit in the
37:42
head with a brick after she refused to give her phone number to a guy
37:45
on the street, and was that verified by any of the evidence that detectives
37:51
looked at. No, that was not verified. Harris County Prosecutor Keith Houston
37:54
says surveillance videos from that early September morning show Osmond hitting a man first,
38:00
So she's the one who she was the aggressor. She was the aggressor,
38:04
euse, and it was a water bottle that hit her, not a brick.
38:07
He did have a water bottle in his hand, and we think that's
38:08
what left the mark. According to court documents, she asked someone else to
38:13
launch this GoFundMe for her recovery, raising more than forty two thousand dollars,
38:17
but as the story went viral, a blogger on TikTok called police, alerting
38:22
them to this twenty twenty GoFundMe, which claimed a vicious assault by a security
38:28
guard in Minneapolis. Detective Thornton verified with Minneapolis police that there was no assault
38:32
done at that time, it was completely fictional. Prosecutors alleged theft by deception
38:37
and believed she would have received all that money had the campaign not been shut
38:43
down. The violence that I have suffers the September thirty is just unbelievable.
38:46
I can't even believe I'm here. They try to leave me for dead.
38:50
In an Instagram story posted Wednesday, Osmond addressed those who have doubted her.
38:53
I actually have things going on in my life. I actually have real ways
38:59
to make money out. I have to get go funding for money. I
39:00
actually can earn income because I'm actually educated and I actually am talented. And
39:07
tonight, a spokesperson for gofund me telling KPRC too, go fund Me has
39:12
zero tolerance for the misuse of our platform. The fundraiser has been removed from
39:16
the platform, all donors have been refunded, and Roda Osmond has been banned
39:22
from using the platform for any future fundraisers. Osmond did not respond when I
39:25
reached out to her on Instagram this evening tonight. She is wanted here in
39:30
Harris County on that theft charge. Anyone with information on her whereabouts can report
39:35
that to Houston police. We're live near the galleria. I'm Bryce Newberry KPRC
39:38
Too News. All right, Bryce, thank you Lissen. It was the
39:46
arrogance for me. I don't need this game and scamp. Apparently you do
39:52
because this is not the first time you've done this. This is not the
39:55
first time that you've lied and said someone has assaults you. This is what
40:00
I mean when I say this is despicable. This let me, let me,
40:07
let me let me because you have people that are really, really,
40:15
truly going to jail for a lie. If you have real ways to make
40:22
money, what was the purpose of you trying to scheme a second time?
40:30
And then you had someone do it for you to open or go fund your
40:35
page and then again, y'all, let me repeat that. The arrogance.
40:39
It's the audacity and the arrogance in her voice. Oh I don't need to
40:45
apparently you do, but you heard them say the surveillance video didn't even match
40:52
her story. You put your hands on that man. First lay is keep
41:02
your damn hands to yourself. Stop hitting on people, because when you get
41:07
hit back, then all of a sudden, now you become the victim.
41:12
Y'all better remember your reap, what your soul, whatever you put out into
41:16
the universe. Trust and believe, baby, the universe is gonna bring it
41:20
back to you tenfold. So if you don't want your karma coming back,
41:28
stop doing the things that you do, because I just it was when the
41:36
story first broke, It was the comments. It was the people were ready
41:39
to fight over this story because people say the story just didn't make sense because
41:45
what she was saying didn't make sense. How were you mad at somebody's opinion?
41:49
I still you know, when I go back and I look at it,
41:52
it didn't make sense because were you trying? Were you were? You're
41:57
almost kidnapped? Did he throw up at you? I mean, come on
42:00
now. And then when the surveillance footage dropped of you and the club,
42:05
like I said, ladies and gentlemen, she came in the club, she
42:07
had a mask over that covered her entire face except her eyes, So this
42:12
was all you could see. So we don't know if under the mask was
42:16
her face already swollen, because y'all know a water bottle is not gonna cause
42:22
your face to swell up like that. We know that. And then it
42:27
was the you get to the hospital, you jump on, you jump on
42:30
TikTok and go live. What. Let me say this, if if I
42:40
got into a car wreck, do you think me getting on Facebook or Instagram
42:45
or TikTok is gonna be the first thing on my mind? That's gonna be
42:47
the furthest thing from my mind. What's gonna be, what my focus is
42:52
gonna be, is if I'm all right, if whoever was in the car
42:55
with me all right, or if the people in the other car are all
42:59
right. That's gonna be my concern, not to jump on Facebook and stream
43:02
and go live and say oh yeah, I got into a wreck and this
43:06
and this. No, that's not my thing. When I saw that,
43:10
I said, oh, yeah, she live. She's like she's lying.
43:15
And then when the videos started to surface of her attacking people, just random
43:22
people walking up to white men, slapping them in the face, talking about
43:27
we want our reparations. Who does that? You wanted to go viral and
43:34
now you did. Now you're the victim. I think oil and Johnson,
43:43
I think his last name is Johnson. But the young man that you accused
43:45
of hitting you in the face with a brick, he's the real victim.
43:51
You're a narcissistic master manipulator. But somebody called winning your game and they got
43:57
you. But you all got to stop, like this has to stop,
44:04
because you are really truly pushing the real true victims back to the end of
44:08
the line while they were out here investigating your case and come to find out
44:15
it was a lie. It could have been to other people they could have
44:19
been looking into that are real true lie victims. And y'all see the stories
44:24
every day. A woman una liive by her husband, woman brutally beaten by
44:30
her husband, man run over by a car by his wife. We see
44:36
this. We see this all the time. And again we see men that
44:45
are going to prison being falsely accused of a crime that they didn't even commit.
44:53
There are men sitting in prison right now because a woman lied. I've
45:01
seen the stories where new evidence comes out and they go and look and come
45:06
to find out he or she wasn't even the person that committed the prime But
45:10
by this time they've they've sat in prison five, ten, fifteen, twenty
45:14
thirty, maybe forty years, all because of a life. Look at the
45:24
the Brian Banks, the football player who was accused of raping a woman,
45:30
but come to find out she lies, and this boy lost everything behind a
45:36
line. And we see this all the time, and all they could say
45:45
is oh, I'm sorry. Some of them don't even apologize. And then
45:50
you got con artists like Rorda Asman that can coct these far fetched stories to
45:57
get the sympathy of people at the scheme and kind people for money that's unforgivable.
46:08
I pray that whatever happens, sir, it happens. I hope justice
46:13
prevails. I hope she's given some jail time something. I hope she's punished
46:19
to the highest extent of the law, because you really truly could have ruined
46:24
this man's life. All behind the line, y'all keep playing. I think
46:34
every person that has lied on somebody and a person gets arrested and come to
46:38
find I think y'all need to I think charges need to be filed. I
46:42
think you need to be arrested. I think you need to go to jail
46:44
for that. I think women that lie and pen babies on men that don't.
46:51
But I think y'all need to go to jail. I'm just saying,
46:54
we know that may not happen, but domestic violence is nothing play with.
47:01
It's not anything to play with. That's not even something to kid around with.
47:06
Because again, y'all, it's real live people out here that are really
47:10
truly victims. They are real, true life sexual assault victims out here,
47:17
but they're not believed because you got women like Rhoda icepen that like to lie,
47:25
that are scheming and conniving. We see this and here we are tussling
47:35
in the comments and then with for us, the backpedal when the truth comes
47:38
out, and they even saddest part about this is like the young man said,
47:46
black men and black women were torn. We were fighting amongst each other
47:51
when really we should have been coming together. So what everybody had a difference
47:58
of opinion. Okay, some people believe, some people didn't believe her.
48:00
You got people again that are still defending her behavior. We don't, like
48:08
I said, we really just don't even know what really happened to her face.
48:14
We don't know, like you said, she came in she had a
48:17
mask on, so we don't know. Maybe that's why she had the mask
48:21
on. Maybe because her face was full and that's why she had the mask
48:23
on. And then for him to throw a water bottle at you, a
48:28
water bottle is not gonna cause a big watermelon size not to form on the
48:32
side of your head. Period. Even doctors, y'all, I was on
48:39
the Live about this, and even doctors were saying she didn't look like she
48:44
got here with a break because there were no abrasions to her face. And
48:50
then the first thing you immediately do is once you get to the emergency room
48:54
is you go live. You get hit in the face of the brick,
49:00
you go live a legend, you go lie. So you were trying to
49:07
go viral. You got your viral moment. Maybe not the way you want
49:08
it, but you're viral. Now you'll be convicted as a felon. You'll
49:16
be a convicted lying felon. You know, I don't know what the law
49:24
is and use them with regards to theft by deception because that's what she was
49:28
charged with. A felon. He's theft by deception. So they may give
49:30
a probation, may make a do community service, who knows, But I
49:36
hope she's punished at the highest extent of the law because you lie. I
49:45
hope that young man. I don't know if he could follow any type of
49:47
lawsuit, but pop a defamation of character because you're the famous man's character.
49:52
You lied on this man. This man life could have been ruined. His
49:55
life could have been ruined behind a lie you told. His life could have
50:00
been lost. Anything could have happened. Somebody could have really done harm to
50:06
you for lying on their family members. See a lot of y'all concoct these
50:14
stories, but don't be ready to stand on business when it comes to the
50:17
consequences. Yeah. I know everybody say, we're not gonna say they no
50:23
more. But I'm gonna need her to stand on business because these are your
50:28
repercussions. These are the consequences of your life. I think you need to
50:35
go to a I think she needs to go to maybe a couple of the
50:38
meetings where with domestic violence survivors. Maybe you need to talk to the families
50:44
who've lost loved ones behind domestic violence. I was just talking to my cousin
50:50
the other day. She lost her cousin domestic violence, and here you are
50:55
lying. Stop playing with it. Yeah, y'all, I'm getting upset.
51:02
I'm getting angry because it's personal for me. It's real personal for me because
51:15
I have to advocate for domestic abuse survivors, men and women. You know,
51:21
that's what I have to do. I have to advocate for them.
51:22
I have to speak out for them because we got people like this woman here
51:28
that like to lie. Now you're you're playing now, it's like a slap,
51:34
slap in the face to every domestic abuse survivor or to every domestic abused
51:39
person who's lost their life again. Y'all, we see these stories every day
51:49
every day. So for her to concoct the story like that, why what
52:02
did you think you were gonna gain from that other than going viral? Where
52:09
you broke? Did you need the money? What's the deal? But the
52:15
real true question I have is what the hell happened to the side of her
52:17
damn face? That's what I want to know, what happened. But then
52:28
I want to double back because one of her TikTok videos, she was saying,
52:34
Oh, she's a feminist, she doesn't need men. We No,
52:38
she'd said, we don't women, we don't need men. Women rule the
52:42
world. But in your video, sweetheart, you said you got hit in
52:45
the face with a brick and all these men stood around and watching it didn't
52:49
help you. How did that work out for you? It's either you you
52:57
need a man or you don't, because you've made countless videos where you have
53:07
dogged men and say women are this women or that, women, we're more
53:13
superior over men. I've seen the videos. But then the moment something happens
53:19
to you, all of a sudden, Now black men need to protect black
53:22
women. No, you can't have it both ways. And I'm gonna go
53:23
ahead and see it. You can't have it both ways. You either want
53:29
a man's protection or you don't. You can't want a man's protection when it's
53:34
convenient for you. I'm gonna say it. Let's see how far that feminine
53:43
shit got you, because, like I say, in multiple videos, she's
53:50
gone around saying, oh, I'm a black woman, we don't need men
53:55
or women rule the world. Da da da, You just dogged men.
54:00
But the moment you some shit pop off, Now you need a man.
54:06
Now you say all the men are around and and they just watched it didn't
54:10
help me. Well, remember you didn't need a man, Remember you said
54:15
that. See, let me tell you something. What you speaking to the
54:17
universe comes back to you. So if you speak bs into the universe,
54:23
you're gonna get bs in return. Period. I'm not gonna gonna one thing
54:30
about me. I'm not gonna never sit and say I don't need a man.
54:35
I may say I don't want one, but I'm not gonna never say
54:37
I don't need one because I need a man to procreate, although I can't
54:42
procreate anymore. But I need to procreate. A man is the head of
54:47
the household, he's the leader. So I mean, you know, stop
54:57
stop stop with the with with the bs rhetoric. The whole system is designed
55:04
to push the man out anyway. But that's a whole other conversation. I
55:07
won't even run down that rabbit hole. That's a whole other conversation to trust
55:12
me, it's gonna behave but really thought, but back, but back to
55:16
what I was saying. You reput you so you put it out there and
55:24
you said, oh, I don't need a man. But in your video
55:29
you're live when you said, oh, all these men out here, and
55:35
now one of them tried to help me. She didn't say men, but
55:37
you know she said the in word, you didn't need no man. Remember,
55:45
So why are you mad because they didn't come to your defense? But
55:50
you were out there antagonizing those men, and those very same men that you
55:53
antagonized, you expected them to come help you. Absolutely not. Now,
56:00
I matter of what have called the police. But you can't go around poking
56:06
at people and think people aren't gonna poke your back. And I can't say
56:12
this enough, ladies, keep your hands to yourself. If that man is
56:16
walking away, baby. Let that man walk away. Stop slapping that man
56:21
in the face, Stop trying to tussle with that man, because that's not
56:24
cute. Because when that man gets real serious with you and really does some
56:30
serious bodily harm, now you're the victim. I've seen some of these celebrities
56:40
that have been very vocal about their domestic violence relationships but fail to say that
56:45
they antagonized. I need you, ladies, and I'm gonna say this,
56:52
and y'all might get mad, but I don't care. In twenty twenty four,
56:58
ladies, I need you to stand on I need y'all to stay business
57:00
if that's what you do. I need you to stand on that. I
57:01
need you to take accountability for that. Excuse me. I need you to
57:08
be able to own up and say, you know what I was wrong.
57:10
I'm sorry. That's so hard for some of you women to do because you
57:17
always want to be in the right. But I just have to keep saying,
57:28
y'all, domestic violence is not a joke. That's not something to play
57:32
about, that's not something to make up, that's not something to lie about,
57:38
because you really truly make it hard for the real, true victims that
57:42
are around here. Me included an accountless of the women and men who aren't
57:51
taken seriously that go file these false police reports. You get the person arrested
57:59
off because you mad, and then when the facts present themselves, you've told
58:07
so many lies, you start to believe your own life because she believes that
58:13
she's really truly a victim, when really the man that you accused of throwing
58:22
a brick at you or whatever he did with the brick, that's the real
58:25
true victim. He admitted I threw a water bottle letter, but again,
58:31
that water bottle was not enough to cost that much damage to your face.
58:40
But stop poking at people, and that goes both ways, men and women.
58:44
Stop poking at people. Stop trying to provoke people to get a rise,
58:50
because once you get that rise and what you're asking for, all of
58:53
a sudden, now you're the victim. And again I want to say,
58:59
by no means do I condone men hitting women. I do not. So
59:07
he should say this, some said girl, Yes it is. Brian says,
59:12
desperation is pretty toxic. We could do some really crazy things when we
59:15
don't get what we want. Walking away has been one of the most important
59:17
lessons I've learned in life so far, trying to stick with the argument has
59:22
landed me and will Co a few times eating bologna sandwiches exactly. And that
59:29
one split second, that one split decision could change your entire life. And
59:37
I don't mean for the good. Cooler has will always prevailed. Learn to
59:46
walk away. Sometimes ladies learn to walk away. Sometimes men It's okay to
59:53
walk away, to diffuse the situation. And I think an even sadder situation
1:00:02
is when men are the victims and they're not even believed by the police.
1:00:10
What if the young man that was accused of hitting this young lady in a
1:00:14
face with a break, What if this man would would have got arrested.
1:00:20
What if they didn't investigate, and you're going to arrest this man, and
1:00:23
now all of a sudden, this man has lost his job can be around
1:00:30
the children. No one ever thinks about the repercussions. No one ever stops
1:00:36
to think about the aftermath and how that thirty second or maybe at five,
1:00:43
ten, fifteen second decision to turn your whole life around. I'm gonna put
1:00:47
this back up. I'm gonna put Brian's comment back up. He said,
1:00:52
desperation is pretty toxic. We can do some really crazy things when we don't
1:00:58
get what we want, and it says walking away has been one of the
1:01:02
most important lessons I've learned in my life so far. I just wanted to
1:01:07
throw that back up there, because we do things out of desperation, and
1:01:14
we see this all the time. Like I say, the story with Brian
1:01:16
Banks, the young lady that I believe he had a sexual relationship with,
1:01:22
and he didn't want, you know, a relationship, He just kind of
1:01:25
wanted it to just still be physical. The girl went and told the people
1:01:30
that this young man raised her, and this man lost everything. This woman
1:01:39
sued the school district and everything got money, only to turn around and we
1:01:46
find out that that was a lot. Look at the people that donated to
1:01:53
this, to this go fund me face go fund me Paige. The girl
1:01:58
raised over for the two thousand dollars because people were really trying to help with
1:02:06
this girl's medical bills, only to come and to find out it was a
1:02:10
lie, a flat out life. How does the person recover from that.
1:02:20
You've told the loud on this person, you've told this person, you've told
1:02:22
the police, oh this is the man, and then your story is changing.
1:02:27
So I'm glad the police officers did their due diligence and thoroughly investigated and
1:02:37
fil charges against her. I'm very happy for that. But I'm even sad
1:02:44
for the young man who lost some friends or people he thought were friends.
1:02:53
I'm sad about that because you ruin this man's life. How does he recover
1:03:02
from this? And like he said, people would remember him if just say
1:03:09
this never came out, people will remember him as, Oh, that's the
1:03:15
man they hit the girl in the face with the bread. It's not cool,
1:03:22
not cool at all. I needs y'all to really take domestic violence seriously.
1:03:32
Let me roll into the final thoughts. Like I said, this wasn't
1:03:36
going to be a long shoulder night, but I just you know, I
1:03:43
had to come and I had to share my thoughts and my feelings and emotions
1:03:46
about this because I was disgusted because it took me back to that day in
1:03:53
July of nineteen ninety nine when that happened to me, and to know that
1:04:00
the police didn't take me seriously that night. Domestic violence is one of the
1:04:10
leading causes of death amongst men and women. Domestic violence is not something to
1:04:18
be played with domestic violence should be taken seriously. All stories, cases,
1:04:30
incidents should be thoroughly investigated before rushes to judgment. Am I happy that this
1:04:40
young lady has been arrested. Absolutely? Do I hope that she's punished to
1:04:45
the fullest extent of the law. Absolutely. I feel like she should be
1:04:47
charged with following the false police report. Everything this man is old and apology,
1:05:00
but a narcissist will never apologize, and that's exactly what she is.
1:05:04
She's a manipulative, narcissistic woman who gets a rise off of scheming and scamming
1:05:13
people. I'm gonna say this to you, Rhoda, your day is coming,
1:05:20
your judgment day is coming, and God is gonna take care of you
1:05:25
far better, better than any criminal system can do, because you will definitely
1:05:31
reap what you have sown. So for you to tell the lie that you
1:05:38
did on this young man, now you're gonna have to suffer those same repercussions
1:05:45
because you and viral. Al Right, it may not have been the way
1:05:48
you wanted to go viral, but you did. Everyone knows your face.
1:05:56
People aren't gonna want to deal with you. People you may not even get
1:05:59
hired at a job because of what's going to follow you all the rest of
1:06:05
the days of your life. That's what's gonna happen to you. So Brian
1:06:14
says, I was pretty moved by your mental health call outs this week on
1:06:16
your Facebook page. I wouldn't be half of where I am now without the
1:06:19
help of my counselor. Let me tell you something, Brian, from one
1:06:27
person that battles mental illness, I understand my counselor, my therapist has helped
1:06:38
me along the way. She has done amazing things and I probably wouldn't be
1:06:43
where I am today if it wasn't for her. So I will definitely definitely
1:06:51
keep advocating for mental health. I would definitely keep doing that because it's imperative.
1:06:57
That is actually the third leading cause of death amongst men between the ages
1:07:00
of eighteen and thirty four, I believe. So it's like, that's a
1:07:05
whole nother conversation. I'll always do stuff with regards to mental health always,
1:07:13
but he said it's so important. Oh yeah, And I'm gonna always push
1:07:16
and always pull something positive for everybody because I don't know where everybody is in
1:07:20
life right now. I don't know what storm people are going through. I
1:07:25
don't know, but if I can encourage in any kind of way, I'm
1:07:28
gonna always do that because I know what it's like to be in the dark.
1:07:31
I know what it's like to feel like you're alone. I know what
1:07:33
it's like to feel like you don't have anybody. I know what it feels
1:07:39
like to feel like that. That cycle you're on is just like you're in
1:07:43
this hamster wheel and you can never get off of it. I understand,
1:07:46
so I always push an advocate for mental health. But thank you for that.
1:07:51
But back to you, roller Osman, you pretty much ruined your own
1:08:02
life. You've already you've sabotaged your entire life. You may have a few
1:08:06
supporters out there that still stand behind you or beside you and still believe this
1:08:13
far fetched concoct the story that you've made up. You may have a few
1:08:17
of those, but just know you've messed up your own life and you have
1:08:23
no one to blame but yourself. I hope you take accountability for what you've
1:08:30
done, even though we know you won't because of the arrogance that you carry.
1:08:36
Maybe this will wake you up. Who knows. I pray for you,
1:08:45
because only someone who's not right in the head would come up with something
1:08:49
like this, or you're mad because the man rejected you. I don't know
1:09:00
where you're heard by your father. We don't know. But I pray whatever
1:09:04
is broken and you gets fixed. I pray that you seek help because Lord
1:09:13
knows, baby, you need it. You absolutely need it, because what
1:09:17
you did was Sickney, what you did was very disgusting. And I pray
1:09:24
no one else false victim to that tingled web of the seat that you continue
1:09:29
to spend. And that's my final thoughts on that. Hmm. All right,
1:09:38
y'all, okay, okay, all right, So for the upcoming episodes,
1:09:42

1:09:54
disrespectful kids us haunting some of these videos that I've been seeing. I want
1:10:01

1:10:06
middle school, high school, college, community college, trade schools.
