Now, ABC 7 Detroit has reported that new recordings have surfaced in which she made even more racist comments. The Oakland County Probate Judge Kathleen Ryan was recorded by the courtโs administrator Edward Hutton, who was deeply disturbed by her remarks. At first, there were six recordings.
On one, Ryan made a homophobic remark about Oakland County Executive David Coulter, who is gay and the countyโs highest elected official. She can be heard telling him to โput that in your f***** a** and stuff itโ according to Detroit Free Press.
Ryan also said that Coulter was โmore concerned about the f***** AIDS vaccinations.โ She also disparaged Black people from the United States by saying, โif youโre an American Black person, then youโre a f****** lazy piece of s***.โ
Now, in newly revealed recordings obtained by ABC 7 Investigators, she allegedly stated: โYou f*****g Black c***. Iโm so pissed off at this Black Lives Matter, #MeToo, all this bulls***, oh my God โ f**k you b***h.โ
โโฆWith this whole Black Lives Matter stuff you know theyโre like - everyoneโs all entitled and s**tโฆ Letโs assume they did get screwed just because of the nature of your color, and the way America is, systemic racism, all that s**t! Fine,โ she also allegedly said.
โBut donโt they have an obligation to step up to the plate too? I mean think about it, all they have to do is look at their history, like the whole like baby mommas, and the dads taking off, itโs like, you guys have an obligation too,โ she said.ย
Ryan is the Oakland County Chief Probate Pro Tem Judge and sheโs been on the bench for more than a decade. Whether her leave is permanent remains undetermined.
