Nury Martinez, one day after resigning from her position as Los Angeles City Council President, announced that she is taking a “leave of absence” from her seat on the Council.
Martinez, who assumed office in 2013 and became president in January 2020, released the following statement Monday when she stepped down from her seat as president."I sincerely apologize to the people I hurt with my words: to my colleagues, their families, especially to Mike, Sean, and your son. As a mother, I know better and I am sorry. I am truly ashamed. I know this is the result of my own actions. I’m sorry to your entire family for putting you through this.
"I ask for forgiveness from my colleagues and from the residents of this city that I love so much. In the end, it is not my apologies that matter most; it will be the actions I take from this day forward. I hope that you will give me the opportunity to make amends.The announcements come after a recorded October 2021 conversation involving Martinez, Councilmembers Gil Cedillo and Kevin de León, and Ron Herrera, a top LA County labor official was made public.
Among other comments in the conversation, Martinez belittled Bonin, who is white and has a Black son, and criticized the child for his behavior at a Martin Luther King Day parade, saying Bonin's son was misbehaving on a float, which might have tipped over if she and the other women on the float didn't step in to"parent this kid."
De León also compared Bonin's handling of his son at the MLK Parade to"when Nury brings her little yard bag or the Louis Vuitton bag."
