Women lie. Men lie. Screenshots don’t.
You may not know her name, but you know her brand. Leah McSweeney is the founder of “Married to the Mob” clothing line, an urban streetwear line that was popular in the early 2000’s. The single White female tried to force herself onto Saturday Night Live and Daily Show comedian, Michael Che. The two met on Raya, a dating app geared towards people working in creative industries. In the text messages “leaked” to Page Six, Leah kept trying to force Michael into awkward conversations, where he clearly showed no interest. He never hit her up first, never called her, and didn’t care to meet in person.
Leah, he’s just not that into you.
After it was finally obvious to Leah that her potential one night stand wasn’t going anywhere, she accused Michael of not liking White girls, hating women altogether, and called him names, all while asking if he still wanted to meet up.
Despite being insulted and harassed incessantly, Michael kept it respectful and showed he had zero interest in becoming the Nick to her Iggy. He even gave her a reason why he was uninterested: she texts inappropriate things to get a reaction, and he didn’t want to see what the “real life equivalent” to that is.
Instead of picking up the pieces of her shattered ego and leaving him alone, Leah sent Michael a link to her podcast Improper Etiquette, where she bashed Michael to her listeners. According to Leah, Michael is an “ignorant, arrogant D-list celebrity who hates women”:
“I met a comedian, I’ve dealt with a few comedians. They are the worst, I don’t even know why I entertain this but I have to say … Michael Che is so arrogant and so rude and disrespectful that I cannot even believe that someone … you’re like a D-list celebrity to me, whatever, that’s why I don’t even care that I’m saying his name. I’m not like blowing up Jay Z’s spot.”
“Why are you on a dating app if you hate women? Literally, you’ve never met me and you’re texting me like I’m a stupid bitch … texting me and being mad rude. He kept just texting me, going, ‘I’m fat. Does that turn you on?’ And I’m like, ‘you’re fat? I think I’ve seen you and you’re not fat, OK.’”
Michael only called himself fat once, when referring to all the restaurant choices he has living in Hell’s Kitchen, NYC. Of course, she had to over exaggerate this.
“You’re trying to f–k with me? I don’t get it. You’re just a f–king dork wearing Air Force Ones [sneakers] at the end of the day”, says Leah. “Like, cause you’re sitting up there writing your jokes on a little card, trying to figure out what the f–k. His Netflix special [“Michael Che Matters”] is actually funny … arrogance is ignorance to me. You don’t know me, you don’t know nothing about me, you don’t know we have mad friends in common and like, you’re gonna treat me like some stupid bitch? Like f–k you. I just can’t deal.”
Several news publications picked up the story of how horrible the Black comedian was to the innocent White girl. That narrative changed when Michael reportedly sent screenshots of their text messages to Page Six, showing just how patient he was with Leah’s crazy ass before she finally realized he wasn’t interested.
