Influencer Florence Mirsky found herself in controversy once more after admitting to deceiving her followers. She was caught shouting racist slurs at parking attendants in Beverly Hills, California. Initially, Mirsky claimed one of the employees had groped her, which she said prompted her offensive language. However, she later admitted that the employees did not provoke her, resulting in significant online backlash.
On Tuesday, January 28, Florence Mirsky, the former wife of music producer Scott Storch, gained widespread attention online after making racist remarks against immigrant valet employees. During the incident, she shouted, “President Donald Trump is doing good things because you guys rape people. You guys rape and kill people.” At one point, Mirsky threw a $100 bill at a parking attendant while calling them poor.
Following criticism on social media, Mirsky initially defended her actions by alleging that one of the employees groped her. However, she later admitted to fabricating this claim. A video shared by the gossip blog Its Onsite on January 31 shows Mirsky, alongside her Ukrainian father, confessing, “The guy did not touch me… I was frantic and did not know what to do… Trump is deporting people not only Mexicans, he’s deporting anyone.”

Mirsky expressed remorse for her actions, but faced significant backlash online. Comments referenced historical incidents like that of Emmett Till, highlighting the seriousness of her false accusations and their potential consequences.
In response, Mirsky took to Instagram to apologize, stating, “Racism is never okay, and my words were both hurtful and inappropriate. I apologize to all the hard-working Hispanics in Beverly Hills and also the community that has been hurt by my recent actions. I will work to do better for myself and my community and hope you will forgive me as I meant no harm to anyone.”
Her ex-husband, Scott Storch, had not commented on the controversy at the time of writing.
