Two employees of Kansas City Communications were afraid of their safety after they were falsely accused of accusing the Doxxing Chiefs Kicker Harrison Butker in the city social media account after he made contradictory comments. Women were hateful, racist and misogistic threats and feared that they could be harmed by anonymous online bandits.
Both are now turning to the city, claiming that the mayor Quinton Lucas and other city officials refused to clean their names, which damaged their reputation and allowed the harassment to continue.
April Leonard, a former head of the city social media, has filed these accusations in court these week. The document changed the action of discrimination against it, which it filed in March.
Leonard, who is still working in the city, performing another job in that initial petition, due to the fact that it was a victim of discrimination due to employment, because he was unable to fully satisfy her as a person suffering from autoimmune condition.
The second petition submitted this week provides detailed information about the Butker incident and indicates one reason why something was possible to post an illegal message on the city X account. Leonard’s petition says that the city was free to provide several employees access to its social media accounts. She claims that she has repeatedly expressed concern for her superiors, fearing that she had done her and a co -worker ‘vulnerable because they were identified as the city’s social media leaders. “
Last month, Leonard’s collaborator Andrea Watts also claimed in court, providing that the city officials were too little to clean their name when it was incorrectly determined as responsible for the unsigned 2024. May 14, a referral X, which stated that Butker lives at the Lee Summit. The person who wrote it sarcastically tried to repel the city of Kansas from the comments, which Butker submitted at the college’s graduation ceremony, which some found offensive.
No woman had anything to do with the mail. It was found that another person with access to the City X account is responsible and dismissed.
The city officials deleted and apologized for the report of Butker 40 minutes after its announcement. The city account flooded angry comments to accuse the city for being dangerous, marking the name of Kanso Siti suburb.
This is not a strict definition of Doxxing as the record did not give the Butker address. According to the Census Bureau, the Lee summit was 106,000 a year ago.
Racist threats
But both women were in the real sense of doxxed. The Butker Post critics were looking for and published the names of women where they lived with other personal information, believing that they were only responsible for their social media duties in the city’s Communications Unit.
According to the lawsuits, they were threatened with death and were condemned by ugly slings. Both women are black and were fascinated by their race and gender.
“There is not a deep hole, there are not deep enough forests to hide,” says one record, according to Watts.
Another black woman hanging out of a tree in front of an apartment building in a photo of Watts, along with her name and address.
Her law was called the Ghetto Rat and N Word. Something called “Savage Ravage” said Butker should contact the city officials and “I hope that everyone who has been involved in AIDS and donkeys.
Leonard was scared, says the costume. She called the police when she saw two men watching her home. The city agreed to release it to the hotel for two nights, but refused to cover its dishes. And both she and Watts say the city never made a public statement asked to make it clear that they were not the people responsible for the Butker Post.
Instead, Mayor Quinton Lucas asked the public to stop harassment to women, but he never called them.
“During the last 24 hours, some who want to harass and intimidate, have sent slings and threats, and for women who are not involved in the city’s latest reports,” he said about X. “Honestly, please just stop, be decent.
Lucas, Democrat, later accused the Missouri Prosecutor General Andrew Bailey, Republican for continuing his show on television and demanding an investigation.
“I was disappointed when the city was not supported by me and colleagues related to the Butker’s twist, which continued and unjustified public inspection, harassment and hostile work environment,” Leonard said in a statement published by her lawyer Heather Schlozman.
“We asked for help and safety asking the city to clean its names immediately. This stress increased my autoimmune condition and eventually prompted hospitalization.”
Court lawsuits seek money for damages and any legal relief.
The city does not comment on the waiting or staffing affairs, the city spokeswoman Sherae Honeycutt said.
