Press Release

Pearces Hypocrisy on Domestic Assault

Long Beach, Cal., December 7, 2017:

Councilmember Jeannine Pearce "took to Facebook" yesterday, according to LB Post, "to celebrate
[a hotel worker's] recognition...I have the pleasure of knowing [her], Pearce wrote. 'She spoke up. She
yelled. She marched. She broke the silence, and shes been doing it for years. She shared unbelievable
stories of assault...'"

Jeannine Pearce actually had the audacity to write those words just days after the images of her
domestic violence victim were released to the public:

For Release 11:45 a.m., December 7, 2017

As revealed by the recent LBPD documents release (http://www.longbeach.gov/police/how-do-

the five foot five inch tall (according to booking information received by the LA Co. Sheriffs Dept.) former
aide Devin Cotter, of a pattern of domestic violence:

Recall Committee member Lauren Boland said of Pearces recent facebook remarks in response to
the LB Post article, It represents a level of hypocrisy and lack of self-awareness which is nearly to the
point of derangement.
