She couldn’t resist adding: “The one who created the website about me-look at her eyes in those videos of her getting anally raped. It’s not worth commenting on, and I hope you don’t link to that webpage and get them more clicks.”Īs for her husband’s turn in the barrel, “celebrities are easy to villainize,” said Meyers, who served as a prosecutor for five years in the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office, specializing in human-trafficking and sex crimes. In an interview with The Daily Beast, Alexi Meyers shot back: “I’m not going to comment on something that’s obviously cyberbullying and targeting me. They don’t blame medical neglect on the staff, or solitary confinement.” “They don’t blame the order of arrest that was sent for her when she couldn’t pay the $500 fine or mandatory counseling… They don’t blame or mention the police doing a prostitution sting on her ( possibly raping her).
MAYA MORENA FREE
“They claimed that creating this would result in sex workers not being arrested (they were), and sex workers being free (they were imprisoned, stuck with fines, and death),” Morena wrote on her website. Yet Polanco was arrested and jailed after she didn’t respond to several summonses and didn’t show up for court-ordered counseling sessions. On one of the websites Morena operates, she justified her tendentious claim against Seth and Alexi Meyers-which she concedes was “a little bit hyperbolic”-because the tax-supported nonprofit that employs Alexi helped create New York’s Human Trafficking Intervention Courts that supposedly treat prostitutes as victims instead of criminals and require them to undergo counseling instead of incarceration. “THE MEYERS MURDERED LAYLEEN POLANCO,” claimed Morena’s sign-a reference to the 27-year-old Bronx woman’s June 2019 death in solitary confinement, after multiple epileptic seizures, two months after she was ultimately jailed for her lack of $500 in bail money-the end result of a 2017 arrest on misdemeanor prostitution and drug-possession charges as part of a police sting in which she allegedly agreed to give an undercover cop oral sex. Seth Meyers, whom NBC declined to make available to be interviewed for this report, is an active supporter of his wife’s organization and emceed Sanctuary for Families’ 2018 and 2019 fundraising galas. “It’s good to go after Seth Meyers, because he’s very famous,” she later admitted. The sign blamed Alexi and Seth Meyers for the Rikers Island death of a transgender sex worker and well-known figure in the city’s underground ballroom scene. Joined by a few sex-worker friends on the sidewalk outside a WeWork facility in Manhattan’s Flatiron neighborhood-where the Meyers-hosted invitation-only confab was taking place-the 26-year-old Morena passed out leaflets and brandished a crudely hand-lettered sign under the watchful eye of a security guard who barred their entry and repeatedly shooed them away. Morena, meanwhile, wants simply to decriminalize everyone involved in the act of paid sex between consenting adults. Meyers-who calls herself an “abolitionist” and hopes some day that the sex industry will wither and die-favors legislation that would decriminalize prostitutes but maintain criminal penalties for customers, pimps, and other facilitators of such transactions. The ensuing fusillade of accusations and insults between Maya Morena and Alexi Meyers is just one indication of the rising passions over the prostitution issue as New York’s state legislature in Albany prepares to consider competing bills in January that address how cops and courts should deal with the so-called world’s oldest profession.īoth women want new laws that will inflict the least harm and minimize coercion, violence, and abuse. A few nights before Thanksgiving, Maya Morena-one of the aliases she uses as a sex worker, porn actress, and human-rights activist-picketed an anti-sex-trafficking event hosted by Sanctuary for Families staff attorney Alexi Ashe Meyers and her husband, Seth, the NBC late-night television star.
