The president of a Bronx tenant council has resigned after being accused of abusing her position by using housing authority staff as her personal assistants while she lorded over them in a revealing pink nightgown.

Monique Johnson has stepped down from her role as president of the Throggs Neck Tenant Association after reportedly demanding New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) staff clean her home, take out her trash, pick up her groceries, style her hair and fluff up her wigs, New York City Housing Authority‘s interim vice president and general counsel, David Rohde, stated in a letter to Johnson in May, according to the New York Post. In one instance, Rhode further claimed that Johnson forced an NYCHA official to clean her apartment while she looked on, wearing a revealing pink nightgown “the entire time”.

“NYCHA is notifying you that these Code of Conduct violations are unacceptable, constitute grounds for removal from Office, and further, it has determined that you are, in fact, no longer eligible to serve as President of the Throggs Neck Tenant Association,” Rohde wrote to Johnson in May, according to the outlet.


Investigations into Johnson’s alleged misconduct have been ongoing since 2013.

In 2019, an investigation had determined that the Throggs Neck Tenants Association – specifically Johnson, had “for years inappropriately diverted NYCHA staff time and funding for Tenants Association purposes,” Department of Investigation (DOI) officials determined, according to an earlier report by the New York Post.  Her alleged actions “thus [deprived] other Throggs Neck tenants of needed resources,” the DOI officials continued.

The 2019 investigation into Johnson’s misconduct also found that the former tenant president “routinely” pressured Throggs Neck managers and staff for special treatment, “including performing renovations in her own apartment and the [TA] office … and enlisted Bronx Borough managers to instruct development staff to follow her direction,” the investigators found.

Despite multiple investigations finding misconduct, Johnson remained in her position until her decision to step aside in the wake of Rohde’s letter, though Johnson told the New York Post she had not received it.

When the NYCHA was asked to comment on Johnson’s resignation, they reportedly told the New York Post that Rohde’s letter “speaks for itself.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
