Outstanding 40 Time For A Slumlord
Former Everett High School star and current Oakland Raiders benchwarmer
Omar Easy may be making a name for himself in another field- real estate.
In an email sent to Barstool, Easy and his mother Icylin Wright Gibbs are accused of being heartless slumlords. Anonymous emailer Jack Daniels [note to future anonymous emailers- avoid selecting aliases that are Tennessee whiskey-related] claims that Easy and his mom are turning a blind eye to about 500 different housing code violations at the building they own at 6-8 Edith Avenue in Everett.
Omar was kind enough to help his mother buy a house in Everett Mass. His mother (Icylnn) and the family are not kind enough to keep up with the place. It is a 3 family home and on the first floor are about 10-15 people living there (3 bedroom one floor apt). Section 8 pays the rent directly to the Easy family and the people on the first floor who originally rented the place have people pay them to stay there. Their gas has been shut off, they pee out the back windows, the front door is broken, there is a pipe leaking in the basement and the inside is a mess. When Omar Easy and his family was told about the terrible condition his mother said, "I don't care as long as I get paid". Meanwhile, before Omar's mother was the mother of a football star she had problems of her own. When living in Everett she had trouble paying her rent and bills. An Everett school took up a donation to help her out. This is how they are giving back to the community, by helping destroy it. Omar Easy pretends to be a hero while neglecting the people who really needs his help- his tenants...PLEASE HELP!
Some college kid in Allston just read this email and is seriously considering moving to Easy's slumtastic apartment building. Peeing out back windows, broken pipes and a broken front door- that's like $1500 for a two bedroom in L.A.
All this being said, let's talk seriously for a second. In your professional opinions, who looked more like a 45-year old man in high school- Omar Easy or Greg Oden? Such a tough call.
