New Orleans cop carnival queen who rode high and lived a lavish lifestyle at parade crew members expense is being sued after refusing to refund members following fallout over her All Lives Matter post
Julie Lea, 47, founded the first all-female New Orleans Mardi Gras parade crew, the Mystic Krewe of Nyx, in 2012
The group swelled to more than 3000 fee-paying members and earned plaudits for its dazzling displays
But things turned sour after Lea, an 18 year veteran in the New Orleans PD, posted an All Lives Matter meme in the wake of George Floyd s death
Members resigned en masse when she Lea refused to embrace the term Black Lives Matter and have launched a class action lawsuit to get their fees back
