What was apparently meant to be a carefree, fun video of Reggie Bush and his wife turned into an attack on the former football star’s wife.

Lilit Arvagyan and Bush were out in Brooklyn, NY Friday, June 1 when she exclaimed “Look at them watermelons!” and Bush asked her what she was sipping on.

“Koo-Aid … Brooklyn, Kool-Aid,” she responds jokingly of her tequila-filled beverage before saying she was “just trying to fit in.”

“You just tryna fit in by saying it’s Kool-Aid?” Bush says. “You tryna say something?”

While Bush responded in just, Arvagyan’s, who is Armenian, comments didn’t sit well with Bush’s followers.  They promptly blasted Arvagyan and her former NFL running back husband.

“B—-, watch ya filler mouth 👊🏾.”

“Watermelon and Kool-aid huh. You let her call you n—-r too, don’t you Reggie?”

“@lilitslife exactly what do you mean by ‘fit in’ saying it’s kool-aid? Reggie that’s not funny.”

“A coon and his stupid wife. You were better off with Kim Kardashian.”

Neither Bush or Arvagyan have responded to the remarks. Instead, they’ve continued to post messages about their family and inspirational quotes.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
