Bernard Bey, a homeless man from Brooklyn, New York, is suing his
parents for not loving him and supporting him enough. He is actually
asking for $200,000 in compensation. This is not a joke…
32-year-old Bernard Bey is an aspiring rapper from Brooklyn. He’s also
homeless, and blames his parents for his current situation. In a recent
interview, he says he ran away from home wen he was just 12 years old,
because his family abused him both physically and verbally, and he’s
been in and out of the shelter system for the last twelve years. He’s
also spent time behind bars. And since he believes his parents are
responsible for everything he’s been through, he’s just filed a lawsuit
against them in Brooklyn Court, in which he accuses them of making him
feel “unloved and beaten by the world”. In the self-written lawsuit, Bey
is asking for $200,000 in damages and demands his family mortgage their
brownstone in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood, to help him open two
franchises “like Domino’s Pizza”.
“I don’t feel like my parents love me, they
aren’t supportive, they’re emotionally abusive, verbally abusive,” the
32-year-old said. “We don’t have a family bond that a family should
have.” He claims that when he went to his family’s house, they made him
wait for up to 45 minutes before letting him in. About his claims, the
homeless man says: “Why not start a family business and start securing
wealth for ourselves? Anybody that’s logical is not going to sit on an
asset and let it deteriorate and live poor when they don’t have to. Why
would you do that? Why would you live off the state and get public
assistance and food stamps? Why would you allow your children to live
like that?” He claims that the extra $200,000 he’s asking for would go
to helping out the whole family.
Bernard’s mother, told reporters things are not like her son described.
They are in no position to give him that kind of money, seeing as they
are currently living in public housing themselves, and the Brooklyn
building he’s asking them to mortgage is only partly owned by them. She
also says Bernard hasn’t worked a day in his life and needs to go out
and get a job.
“I’m hoping that I can come to some type of resolution with my parents
and we don’t have to go through this at all; we could just work
together,” Bey said. ”Let’s work together, and definitely, I’ll drop the
suit.” Bernard’s other family members said he has psychological issues…
