NOTHING is sacred when it comes to lining
your own pocket. Especially Black Lives...
The sprawling $6 million mansion bought by Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles once hosted Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe as house guests — and comes complete with a sound stage, music studio, pool and a two-bedroom guest house.
The 7,400-square-foot Studio City compound is a 1930s “farm house” that also boasts seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms, according to the real estate listing.
“Impressively renovated back to the 1930s with all the modern conveniences!” the listing said. “Marilyn Monroe and Humphrey Bogart were a few A-listers who stayed as guests in this estate.”
The swanky digs also has a custom-made wrought-iron staircase, marble-lined bathrooms, three fireplaces — including one imported from Italy — recessed lighting fixtures, digital cameras and thermostats, as well as a private yard with an elaborate play-set and a chicken coop.
The stunning mansion was secretly bought by a shell company in Oct. 2020 connected to the embattled Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which used part of its $90 million donation windfall to purchase the property as a “campus” for the organization, New York Magazine reported Monday.
Property records show the home was sold for $3.1 million to Dyane Pascall, a Los Angeles-based real estate developer who works in the nonprofit sector, in a deal that closed Oct. 27, 2020.
BLM used Pascall and the LLC as middlemen for the property purchase to "avoid exposing BLM's assets to any litigation or liability," BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers told the Washington Examiner on Monday. He added that the mansion does not serve as a personal residence.
Pascall is the financial manager for Cullors's personal LLC, Janaya and Patrisse Consulting. He is also the chief financial officer for Trap Heals, an art company led by the father of Cullors's only child, Damon Turner. Both Trap Heals and Janaya and Patrisse Consulting have received significant payments from Cullors's activist groups, including BLM.
Actually, That's not all. Did I mention she's a married lesbian?
The $6 million Studio City property BLM reportedly purchased
in October is the third known mansion purchased by the charity and its co-founder since the group raised at least $90 million during the nationwide unrest that followed George Floyd's killing in May 2021.
BLM also used charitable resources to help BLM Canada purchase a mansion in Toronto in July 2021 for the equivalent of $6.3 million, the Washington Examiner previously reported.

And Cullors herself purchased a mansion in the majority-white Los Angeles neighborhood of Topanga Canyon in April 2021 for $1.4 million. BLM previously said no charitable resources were used to finance Cullors's home purchase.
