Influencer Tommie Lee, 38, is in the headlines again this year for engaging in a verbal altercation with a Jewish man on the LAX Uber shuttle. In a recent incident, a former Love and Hip Hop star was caught on camera physically assaulting and threatening a Jewish man on the LAX Uber shuttle.
The incident comes four months after Lee was arrested in Miami after officers who were called to a restaurant on reports of verbal abuse discovered cocaine on the 38-year-old star.
According to an Instagram account, Vist2israel, where the video of the recent altercation was posted, Lee, who has nearly 6 million followers, reportedly used a homophobic slur against the Jewish man before he began recording the incident.
When the man pulls out his phone to record the incident, Lee gets violent. Referencing to the camera, She is heard saying:
“Ever point your camera at me, I’ll knock your f*cking head off b*tch. Don’t play with me.”
When the man asks her not to talk to him using derogatory language, Lee lunges at him in an attempt to knock the phone off his hand.
The incident has triggered widespread backlash online, prompting a social media user to say:
"She should be de-platformed."
