White Landlord Lisa Anderson Caught on Video Falsely Accusing Black Tenant Vontese Wines of Assault Over Rent Dispute in Disturbing Attempted Eviction That Led to Panic Attack and Tenant’s Relocation, No Charges Filed Despite Viral Footage Exposing Fabrication
In a troubling incident that has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, a white landlord in [City Name]—identified as Lisa Anderson—was caught on video staging a false attack and accusing her Black tenant, Vontese Wines, of assault during a rent-related confrontation. The incident, which occurred shortly after rent was due, has shone a harsh spotlight on the intersection of racial injustice, housing insecurity, and abuse of power.
According to the tenant and eyewitnesses, Lisa Anderson arrived at Wines’ residence without prior notice, accompanied by a locksmith, just 15 minutes after the rent deadline had passed. Her intent, as captured on video, appeared to be an immediate and unlawful eviction attempt. When Wines confronted Anderson at the door, tensions escalated—then, without warning, Anderson dropped to the ground, clutched her neck, and began screaming, “She’s choking me!”
But no one was touching her.
Wines’ son, who was present during the encounter, instinctively began filming. The video footage quickly revealed the truth: Wines never made physical contact with Anderson. The entire choking claim was a fabrication. The disturbing footage has since gone viral, leading to widespread condemnation online and demands for legal consequences.
The emotional impact on Vontese Wines was immediate and severe. She suffered a panic attack shortly after the ordeal and ultimately made the difficult decision to leave the home she had long occupied. Advocates and community members have rallied around the family, highlighting the traumatic effects of racially motivated false accusations—particularly when weaponized in housing disputes.
Despite the footage clearly disproving Anderson’s claims, no criminal charges have been filed against her. The lack of accountability has only added to the pain and frustration experienced by Wines and her supporters, with many calling for investigations into both the incident and local landlord-tenant practices.
“This is not just about one woman and her lies,” said a community leader during a recent rally. “It’s about a system that allows Black tenants to be criminalized, traumatized, and pushed out without consequences for those who abuse their power.”
As the community continues to support Wines and her family, the broader conversation on racial justice in housing continues to grow louder. For now, a family mourns the loss of their safety and peace—simply for standing their ground.
