Fired NYC professor Shellyne Rodriguez says she's the victim after machete threat
2023-05-25
[NYPOST] The Manhattan college arts professor who was fired after threatening a Post reporter with a machete and cursing out anti-abortion students claimed Wednesday that she’s the victim — arguing the school had “capitulated” to racists and misogynists by terminating her.

Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, was axed from Hunter College on Tuesday, just hours after she was filmed holding the blade to the veteran reporter’s neck while spewing menacing remarks outside her Bronx apartment.

Rodriguez lashed out after the reporter identified himself and knocked on her door to ask her for an interview regarding the viral footage of her flipping out on pro-life students at Hunter College on May 2.

In a statement to ARTnews on Wednesday, Rodriguez insisted the saga had “taken a toll on my mental health.”
Which wasn't all skittles and rainbows to begin with, apparently
Rodriguez, who didn’t directly address the machete ordeal in her statement, claimed she had been “inundated with vile and hateful emails, texts and voicemails” over the past two weeks as the footage of her encounter with the anti-abortion students started to spread online.

After the on-campus encounter, where she was filmed telling the students their pro-life pamphlets were “f–king propaganda,” Rodriguez said she issued an apology after being directed to by the college’s administration.

#6  Machetes are illegal in New York. Except for far left wingnuts.

#5  Clearly she was using the machete to defend herself from the white guy holding a cellphone/camera. Everybody knows what a dangerous weapon that cellphone is, running after them outside the building is just aggressive self defense.

#4  Maybe she cut herself with the machete. She’s a victim of herself. BTW - why does she need a machete in her apartment room? It can’t be for self defense. That’s illegal in NYC. Is her landlord cutting back on the lawn care budget?

#3  Axed, NYP, really?

A vengeance or spiteful dismissal?
