'Love & Hip Hop' Star Moniece Slaughter Accuses Real Estate Agent Of Racism
“Love & Hip Hop” star Moniece Slaughter says she has been through hell trying to lease a home and accuses a real estate agent of racism.
The reality star took to social media to explain the situation. Moniece explained she is currently trying to rent a home but the real estate agent keeps putting up roadblocks.
Moniece says when she applied for a home it wasn’t this hard.
The reality star explained, “I have never had to go through so much in all my moving history, to apply for a home. I didn’t want to go this route because I really want this house."
"@coldwellbanker I was first asked for two months bank statements. To complete the application. And a credit report. Your agent Gloria, received that along with 1099s. She then asked for verification of employment which was ridiculous as my employer’s company name and address is listed on my 1099s. A contact for this season and seasons prior was provided on the application! I was then asked for a year’s worth of deposit history from my bank," she continued.

She added, “They don’t even have deposit history past 90 days. So she received that. She then asked for two years of tax returns. She got those. I am THE ONLY APPLICANT for this property. I was then told by Peter (the office manager of coldwell banker in the valley) that the owner of this property is a mortgage broker. Well let me make something clear. I was approved for a home loan and a home renovation loan on one years tax returns. My credit. And two months bank statements. He should know that Gloria is alleging he’s requiring is invasive and unnecessary and unethical, period.”
Moniece believes the process shouldn’t be this hard when it’s for a $3,700 a month lease, not a mortgage.
She continued, “I didn’t have to go through all of this for my home loan. I’ve had these agents working day and night. And every other day it’s something new. I’ve reached out. I’ve been diplomatic and compliant.”
The reality star said recently, “Gloria reaches out to my current landlord who informed her I’m an amazing tenant. Pay early. Ahead of time. 3mo at a time. What was the point of doing all of that. Just say you don’t believe this black girl (who currently pays 4,300/mo in rent) makes the kind of money I make. Has a credit score like mine. And is legitimately employed.”
She ended, “Just say you don’t want to rent to a woman of color. And stop making FU--ING excuses for the agents you hire. Bottom line. I’m disgusted.”
She posted a screenshot of her lawyer telling the real estate agent her actions were “BLATANT discrimination.”
Moniece is still handling with her baby daddy Lil Fizz dating costar Apryl Jones. She recently took to social media claiming she was ready to sue Fizz over an old music video they filmed.
