RHONY’s Leah McSweeney claims there’s ‘fires everywhere’ as she protests George Floyd’s death in shocking video – The Sun

REAL Housewives of New York City's Leah McSweeney claimed there are 'fires everywhere.'

The new Bravolebrity shared shocking video from a protest in response to George Floyd's death.

Leah said of the protests: "The way I see this has to be a rebirth, aside from the pandemic and the terrible way that the government has handled it and obviously these riots and the racism…"

The single mom posted video in the Union Square neighborhood, along with her Boxing trainer, Martin.

Heading closer to the protest scene, Leah saw smoke in the distance and said there are "fires everywhere."

She went on in a video for her Instagram stories: "New York is literally on fire.

"The air is thick with gasoline. It's insane there's broken glass everywhere."

There have been protests across the country this week since video footage in Minneapolis showed white officer, Derek Chauvin, kneeling on George Floyd's neck after he was an arrest.

The former truck driver, 46, died moments later.

At one point, Leah said she wanted to get closer to the marchers coming down Union Square, but Martin wouldn't let her.

Leah relayed to her followers: "I saw that video of the NYPD SUV running people over like that's obviously going to make everyone so much more mad.

"That's exactly what the people are marching against, and they did that sh**t. It's so stupid and counterproductive."

Leah added she wasn't scared and was with Martin and in "her city," and she's not "the enemy" here.

Leah, who has been arrested and later won a lawsuit filed against the New York police department, recently posted on Instagram: "If I was a black male, I’d be dead ten times over."

She captioned the post: "This seems as relevant today as it did years ago when I first made it."

In 2002 Leah threw a bottle of water which hit a cop in the back.

He then allegedly punched her and knocked out her tooth before arresting her.
She sued the NPYPD and settled for $75,000.
