On Friday, Claudia Jordan, who stars in Real Housewives of Atlanta, posted two Instagram videos with R&B veteran Ginuwine that claimed she was being racially profiled by security at Auburn Mall.
Jordan, who was in Opelika, Ala. to see Ginuwine perform at the Opelika Event Center, believed she was kicked out of the mall because she was wearing sunglasses and black. She wrote that two white officers came to escort them out of the building. She also says other mall patrons, who wore sunglasses indoors too, were not harassed. “Never go to the Auburn Mall if you're a minority and you chose to wear sun glasses. Clearly it's against the law if you are black," she wrote.
After the experience, she sent a series of tweets to explain what just happened to her, even tagging Auburn Mall throughout her rant. Ginuwine even retweeted one of her tweets.
white patrons at the @VillageMallAU mall wearing sunglasses and NOT ONE POLICE officer or mall security guard HARASSED them like they did us

Despite what happened at the mall today with me, @Ginuwine and the crew-we are STILL going to have an amazing time tonight at the show!
