In the leaked audio recording, the former LA City Council president referred to the young adopted Black son of a colleague as"changuito," which translates to"little monkey"A year ago, the then-president of the Los Angeles City Council, Nury Martinez, resigned her post amid a scandal in which a leaked recording showed her and other Latino leaders engaging in a racist conversation.The recording was made in secret and published by the Los Angeles Times in 2022.
“I don’t remember exactly, I even had to hear the audio back … of what I was talking about,” Martinez said. “I used language, I expressed myself in a way that was really shameful for me. I made a joke in an environment where I felt as if that’s how things were going on. In reality, I don’t have the words to express how badly I feel for having said that. It wasn’t my intent to make anyone feel bad.
Martinez said she feels scared following the events, saying she’s received death threats against herself and her family. As for her future following the political scandal, she said it presented a moment for reflection and regret. "I live with so much shame every day, and so much guilt, especially around the little boy," Martinez said, referring to Bonin's son."But I think my political differences with his father on the council, and the friction over the last two years that I was council president and guiding the city through COVID, I walked into that room so frustrated and so angry that I took it out on a little boy, and I should have known better.
The former councilwoman said she's working on forgiving herself and, though she is unsure whether the public is ready to welcome her back yet, wants to be"part of the solution" going forward.
