Viral Video Captures Colorado Landlord's False Assault Claims Against Tenant

A Colorado landlord, Lisa Anderson, was caught on video dramatically claiming that her tenant, Vontese Wines, assaulted her during a confrontation over unpaid rent. In the viral footage, Anderson falls to the floor and cries out that Wines is 'choking' and 'hurting' her, despite no evidence of physical contact. The incident escalated when Anderson, who had frequently pressured Wines to pay rent early, barged into her home on March 1 with an eviction notice. Wines asserts that she was compliant with her lease terms, which allowed payment until noon on the first of each month, and that Anderson's actions were an attempt to intimidate her. Following the incident, Wines and her son moved out of the townhouse, feeling unsafe. The video has sparked widespread attention, highlighting issues of landlord-tenant relations and potential racial dynamics in the confrontation.
