‘I Specifically Said No Blacks’: Financial Advisor Fired Over Racist Comments
Additionally, Cure’s husband appeared to join in on the retaliation and escalated the matter by threatening to kill Bradley, according to a confirmed statement that the TikToker tweeted last Thursday.
I news reporter in Houston just confirmed that Eileen Cure’s husband stated “Tell that Tiktoker to come down here to Texas, and I’ll put her in a grave”. At this point I am concerned for my safety, and will be taking necessary steps to protect myself.

Cure has not admitted to making any of the comments she’s been accused of, but has insisted that they have no legitimacy and are “false” and “defamatory.”
“This published photo and along with subsequent related false and defamatory materials and statements, which have incited false commentary and threats of violence and bodily harm toward me and my staff and acts which are being investigated as criminal in nature, are being publicized on a social media platform by a third party who is not related or in any way affiliated with me or my office,” she said in a statement.
“I have taken steps to confirm that race never has and will not be a factor in hiring decisions at my firm,” Cure added. “I am committed to continuing to ensure that my firm and other business interests will not tolerate incitement of violence, judgment before due process, or discrimination or harassment of individuals with regard to race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, veteran status, or on the basis of any other legally protected status or characteristic.”
Bradley viewed Cure’s riposte as “comical,” however, said that despite the financial advisor’s concerted efforts to take legal action, she will continue to stand up for racial injustice.
“Here you have a white woman that has been caught being racist, in my opinion, but would rather look like the victim, up against a Black woman,” Bradley said. “We’ve seen this done in history time and time again. She doesn’t want to admit fault but would rather try and make a Black woman the guilty party. I welcome any challenge that Eileen has. I will always stand up against racism and this issue is no different.”
