Watch me. Watch me handle this. Watch me. You are not the right color, honey!”

Langlois shouted in reply, “YES, YOU ARE! YES, YOU ARE!”
According to the Daily News, this is not the first time the two have had issues. Langlois has previously called the police making false reports and profiling her neighbor, Laquetta Good, as a drug dealer.

No drugs were found. I work from home!! This has been going on for MONTHS.”
