CNN political analyst Angela Rye is getting waves of sinister threats, and she says it began after she started dating the veteran rapper Common.
Reported by TMZ and according to court docs, Rye said she's received vexing, harassing and hostile messages on her phone, social media and email. She says they were just irritating and derogatory at first but got terrifying when the sender got specific.
Angela and Common went public with their relationship over the summer at the Creative Arts Emmys and the authorities say some of the messages referenced locations the couple visited that were not made public. Then on August 5th, Rye got an email that included the following:
"Yr dumb dead ass gonna be found in a river" and "Let me catch ya ass I'm put the paws on ya."
The LAPD was able to obtain search warrants to dig through the sender's social media. They have the sender's screen name, and we're told the Threat Management division is currently investigating.
We’ll keep you updated with any new developments on the situation.
