Rodriguez said it was the first time she rented out her home on Airbnb, and that her neighbor was concerned when she saw strangers packing up suitcases. The neighbor told Rodriguez that when she approached the group, they behaved strangely.
She walked over, smiled at them and waved and they basically looked at her like she was a Martian, Rodriguez said. She added, Strange vehicle, strange people, in a suburban neighborhood, and theyre not friendly. She called the police, and I dont blame her.
In a separate interview with The Sun, Rodriguez reiterated that police was called because the guests were rude to her neighbor and race had nothing to do with it.
Theyre making it sound like its racially motivated, and it has nothing to do with that. Its all over social media. It was based on their rudeness and lack of good nature that caused her to call the police. It had nothing to do with being black, she told the paper.
