Chef Marilyn has been a Crenshaw staple for 38 years, but she says a deal with two lawyers cost her everything. Justin Carter investigates the battle for this legendary soul food restaurant. In this episode, we sit down with Chef Marilyn Cole, the woman behind the famous 99-cent soul food platters, who says she was pushed out of her business after signing a "deal memo" with two California attorneys. While Marilyn claims she was "scammed" and humiliated, attorneys Cierra Carter and Channing Smith say they stepped in to save a failing business from tax audits and bankruptcy. Justin Carter breaks down the two-page agreement, the viral lockout video that sparked outrage across Los Angeles, and the messy aftermath left behind inside the restaurant. Is this a case of a legend being taken advantage of, or a business rescue gone wrong? #ChefMarilyn #Crenshaw #TSRInvestigates ----------------------- THE SHADE ROOM is the culture --- What’s going on, who’s worth talking about, the trends, the hashtags, and the challenges in the streets and on TikTok.
