$75K settlement reached over harassment of Muslims by MTG’s ex
JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — A $75,000 settlement has been reached after Perry Greene, the former husband of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, was caught on camera in Alpharetta yelling at a group of young Muslim women.
The three women were praying in the parking lot at the Avalon in Alpharetta when Greene drove up to them in a Tesla Cybertruck.
A viral video showed Greene yelling at them to “go back to your country” and saying “we don’t want you worshipping here.”
Ali Awad is managing attorney with CEO Lawyer, representing the women.
He says the settlement included a $25,000 payment per minute that Greene was filmed during the harassment incident.
All $75,000 will be donated to the Masjid Jafar and Al-Rahmah Community Center in Johns Creek.
