Was it Personal? Authorities Investigating Rumor That Tyre Nichols Was in a Relationship With Officer's Ex

It began with a rumor.

Sir Maejor, an ethnically black actor and model with a fair complexion due to albinism, tweeted Monday that “I am being told that Tyre Nichols was in a relationship with and worked at a Memphis @FedEx with #MemphisPolice Demetrius Halys’s ex-girlfriend & baby mama.” Not only that, but “After the beating Officer Halys took a pictures of #TyreNichols face and sent it to his babymama.”

The following day, Maejor added a disclaimer in all caps: “THIS IS MERELY SPECULATIONS AND OR A RUMOR AT THIS POINT — THIS INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED.” This statement comported with what I assumed to be the case — that Twitter is full of unfounded rumors and nonsense, and that it was kind of tacky to be spreading stories about a man who had just suffered a horrific death.

And yet the very fact that a member in good standing of the black community would even post such a thing made me wonder if it might be true. So I dug a little bit and quickly found that the story was being reported by none other than Newsweek. Not only that, the outlet revealed that the Memphis Police Dept. (MPD) was investigating the issue:

Hmmm! Would it then be premeditated? When Rita leaves, Rita's gone. Let it go! But egos...........

[Red Badger]

If true, then Premidtated murder.........................

[DIRTYSECRET]

Baby mama-Whose kid is it or is the girlfriend a baby? I’m slow-please help.

[bankwalker]

if so, then why did the others participate?

[Round Earther]

If so, the Shelby County DA will tune it up to First Degree Murder and the jury in Memphis will put them all away for life.

“ an ethnically black actor and model with a fair complexion due to albinism,”

Oh come on! This is getting pathetically ridiculous.

Caucasian Translation:

The victim was allegedly dating the mother of one of the cops child...............

if so, then why did the others participate?

Blue gang sticks together.

Normally the first thing Copville does when Coopville cops behaved badly is to announce the victims criminal record and demand the victim's toxicology report and shout that out to the public. That is not necessarily bad or good, it's just how they roll the court of public opinion.

We have not heard one bark or leaked squeak on the topics. I find that VERY STRANGE.

So this definitely makes it racist. LOL

[blackdog]

This will never get to court. It would bankrupt the city.

[Jaust22]

Thanks. I thought baby mama meant very very very young mama.

If the truth is too damaging, we won’t really know what it is. Who wants to admit that lowering the standards might have allowed gang associates to join the police force, for example?

[proxy_user]

The lady’s family has said the report is not true. Whether they knew about what she was up to is another question.

[rktman]

Bros before ho’s.

[joshua c]

the same Sir Majeor indicted for BLM related fraud?

[rktman]

Yeah, well they could have added to the validity of the claim by saying how tall and how much the ‘black actor and model with fair skin....” weighed. 🤔. Instead of ‘unfair’ skin? I gotcha.

[caww]

Black men on tic tok video are also saying he was dating one of the officer's ex-wives.

They're also saying they knew this was a “beat down” since they've all seen that happen....and it was personal.

[caww]

Good question.......why the “kidnapping” charges??????
