| MAGA influencer Xaviaer DuRousseau is suing the PragerU, the far-right group he used to be affiliated with (by featuring nonsense seen in this photo) for racial and sexual discrimination. How ironic! |
Once upon a time, there was a Black progressive activist who supported the Black Lives Matter movement. He then decided, for whatever reason, to become a conservative MAGA activist. He got a lot of engagement and support from right-wing circles and even got a gig with a far-right "education instruction" group PragerU. For a while things were going well.
That is, until the face-eating leopards showed up.
From International Business Times UK edition (IBT UK) by way of MSN:
Xaviaer DuRousseau, a conservative influencer and former PragerU presenter, has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the organisation alleging racial and sexual-orientation discrimination. The complaint also alleges a hostile work environment, inadequate protection after threats and wrongful termination.. . . The case puts a former public face of the conservative education group in conflict with the organisation that helped build his profile. DuRousseau hosted Respectfully, Xaviaer, and describes himself on his website as a Los Angeles-based political media personality.Before becoming conservative, he participated in Black Lives Matter protests and supported Bernie Sanders. In a 2025 profile in The New York Times, he said watching PragerU videos while preparing for Netflix's The Circle prompted him to question his progressive views.The Post Millennial reported on 7 November 2026 that the complaint named colleague Aldo Buttazzoni and alleged he had repeatedly admitted being racist. DuRousseau claims managers knew but failed to act. IBTimes UK has not reviewed the complete complaint.. . . The complaint reportedly describes a June 2026 incident in Washington, DC. DuRousseau alleges seven men surrounded him, used a homophobic slur and attempted to assault him. He says PragerU refused his request for security before a return visit.DuRousseau alleges chief executive Marissa Streit called him a 'safety threat to our donors' after he raised concerns. The complaint reportedly says lead producer Adam Rodriguez sent him 'whodunnit.mp4', a video allegedly depicting him being shot. It ended with a 'wasted' screen resembling Grand Theft Auto.
In tribute to YOU, Xaviaer:
