The war on women continues. Sad.

Is this all because of the All Lives Matter comment?


Stealing riders money didn’t help their viability either from what I hear

She is the poster child for "when keeping it real goes wrong". That Krewe was printing money and despite how shady it was she was raking it in. The fact that the couldn't keep her mouth shut and just take the money is hilarious. The fact that she didn't think there would be a problem with what she said based on the make up of that Krewe just shows how dumb she is.

Yep. Financial irregularities were a killer.

That will keep Metairie from wanting them.

They went from being the literal largest Krewe in Carnival to their membership cut by 2/3rds within a month's time. Then down to basically nothing


People, and women especially, are such herd animals. It was a stampede

I’m all by memory here but I don’t think blurring too much…

Very expensive leadership retreats on the krewes dime

Collecting mandatory cash tips for tractor drivers and never dispersing them (adds up fast with thousands of riders at the peak)

family or some such getting nice pay outs

Even before all lives and Lee circle beads she was in a dicey spot.

I have to think the remaining riders were in on the grift or are out of towners that have no idea what they signed up for and don’t stick long term

You got it right. This krewe was already falling apart before the All Lives Matter hooplah. There were FB pages spelling out allegations of theft, mismanagement and unfair practices for a while before that comment finished them off. Many people left the krewe before she said that.

Yes that is what happened. The ones who were waiting to see how the allegations panned out (make sure they were true) jumped ship quick when the comments started coming.

It would fit in nicely with the garbage Metairie passes off as Mardi Gras.

Years ago, D'Etat put stylized Nyx and Muses women beating each other with purses and shoes on the side of one of their floats.

Always wondered how to spell nyxed.

I would have spelled it nixed.

Nah we’re good. There’s already enough trash at Metairie parades, don’t need Julie Lea to bring more.

The all lives matter comment was the straw that broke the camels back, but the issues had been slowly coming out before that. She was in some hot water and it was only a matter of time till her stealing caught up with her.

Going to be interesting to see what happens to Druids now. It sort of drafted off the Nyx crowd while making fun of Nyx

Metairie doesn't already have enough parades that can barely scrap together funds and riders?
