Mainstream Media Breathlessly Covered an Alleged Hate Crime in Which White Kids Forced a Black Classmate To Drink Urine. It Was a Giant Hoax.
Texas judge orders $3.2 million judgment against black mother and attorney who falsely alleged her son was 'tortured' by white friend
Andrew KerrFebruary 2, 2026.1/2
It was a story that received blanket media coverage in March 2021. It alleged that white middle schoolers in Plano, Texas, viciously "tortured" SeMarion Humphrey, their black classmate, forcing him to drink their urine at a sleepover as they shot him with BB guns. A Black Lives Matter activist group charged the local public school district with doing "nothing" to stop "this racially motivated hate crime" as violent protests broke out outside the home of Asher Vann, the white child alleged to have organized the brutal attack.
Major media outlets, including NBC, CBS, CNN, Business Insider, Peoplemagazine, the Daily Mail, and the Dallas Morning News, pounced on the story asHumphrey, his mother Summer Smith, and their attorney Kim Cole, embarked on a media tour where they called Vann "evil."The trio appeared on Good Morning America, where ABC host Linsey Davis promoted a GoFundMe account that raised nearly $120,000 to help pay for Humphrey’s "therapy and private schooling."
Racial activist groups added fuel to the fire.The NAACP dressed down the leaders of the Plano school district in a town hall that they described as the beginning of an "open partnership" spurred by the alleged hate crime. The Next Generation Action Network, a Black Lives Matter-tied group whose leader alleged Humphrey was "tortured for days" by his white assailants, organized public marchesthat drew hundreds of protesters.
And then, a little under five years later, a racially diverse Texas jury—including four black members—ruled the whole thing was a hoax.
On Jan. 22,Texas district court judge Benjamin Smith ordered Smith and Cole to pay $3.2 million in damages to Vann, now an adult attending his first year of college, for intentionally smearing him and tarnishing his future earning potential duringtheir media tour in 2021.The ruling followed a civil trial in October 2025, where the jury determined that Cole and Smith cooked up the scheme to raise their public profiles during the height of the Black Lives Mattermovement and to rake in money through GoFundMe.
Court records show that Smith put less than $1,000 of the nearly $120,000 GoFundMe windfall toward her son’s schooling. Account statements reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon show the remaining funds were spent on luxuries, including a designer dog, dining and travel, beauty products, liquor, vapes, cell phones, car payments, and rent.
Smith told the Free Beacon she plans on filing an appeal and insisted she told the truth about what happened to her son.
The story is hardly the only race hoax promoted by the media to crumble under scrutiny. The media provided fawning coverage to Jussie Smollett, the actor who orchestrated a fake hate crime against himself in 2019, drummed up outrage in 2020 that NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace, a black man who once drove a Black Lives Matter-themed car, was the target of a hate crime because he mistook what NASCAR determined was a pull ropefor a noose, and looked the other way as the national Black Lives Matter group used the $80 million it raised during the George Floyd riots in 2020 to enrich the family and friends of its executives and to purchase mansions in Los Angeles and Canada.
Vann told the Free Beacon thatnone of the media outlets that covered the story in 2021 reached out to hear his side of events, even as their coverage incited nationwide outrage that led to violent protests outside his home.
"I was getting death threats from thousands of people on social media," Vann said. "People leaked my address and my name. During one of the protests, they walked all the way to my house and threw bricks through my house."

"It was scary," Vann said. "These were adults, and I was in middle school at the time. Full-grown adults were rushing my houseand causing harm to it. What if I was home and they saw me? They could have ripped me from my home and beaten me. It was very scary."
Criminal charges were initially pressed against Vann and his friends related to the BB gun allegations, but a grand jury declined to accept the charges. Plano Police Department officerPatricia McClure testified during a July 2025 deposition that she didn’t believe there was probable cause to bring the charges, but she brought them anyway to the grand jury out of an abundance of caution.
What really happened, McClure testified, was that a group of eighth grade boys were left to their own devices during a big winter storm and acted immaturely.She said race was not a factor in any of the eventsthat transpired against Humphrey during the fateful sleepover, a findingconfirmed by Linda Washington, the black assistant principal at the middle schoolthe boys attended who also investigated the incident.
Vann told the Free Beacon he was close friends with Humphrey during the weekend-long February 2021 sleepover, during which a big winter storm rolled over their town. One day, several of their other friends came by and, together, they all decided to go outside and "hunt frogs" with BB guns and airsoft rifles.
But no frogs were found. And so, with everyone geared up in bulky winter clothing and paintball masks, the children decided to play another game.
"We said, ‘Let’s test out the gear we brought,’" Vann recalled. "SeMarion was like, ‘Okay, shoot me. Test the mask.’ Then we all switched and took turns shooting each other. Everyone got shot and everyone shot someone."
As for the allegation that Humphrey was forced to drink urine out of a cup, Vann said that, too, was portrayed in the wrong light. After the group willingly shot each other with their BB guns, they walked back to Vann’s house and decided,collectively, that the first one who fell asleep would get pranked.
"This one kid, he did a prank before where he pissed in a cup and gave it to his little brother," Vann said. "I woke SeMarion up, handed him the cup. He put it up to his nose, but he didn’t drink it."
"He put it up to his mouth, willingly and on his own accord, and gave it back because he knew it wasn’t water," Vann said. "Nothing was forced. Everything his mom claimed happened was portrayed in the wrong light."
Vann said there were no hard feelings between him and Humphrey for the following two weeks. It wasn’t until Smith caught wind of the incident in early March 2021 that things took a turn for the worse. Smith almost immediately retained Cole’s legal services, launched the GoFundMe, and took her version of the story to the press while falsely accusing the school district of ignoring the incident.
Vann’s attorney, Justin Nichols, said Smith maintained herversion of events during the November trial, testifying on the witness stand that Vann was "evil."
Cole saw another boost to her public profile in April 2025 when she briefly represented Karmelo Anthony, the 17-year-old black student who was charged with first-degree murder for fatally stabbing a white student at a high school track meet. Anthony’s family raised over $500,000 on GiveSendGo after Anthony’s father claimed in court that he had cash struggles as his bond was being set. Cole ceased representing Anthony shortly after he was released on bond, and as reports surfaced showing he was holed up in a $900,000 house with a brand new car in the driveway. Anthony’s trial is set for June 1, 2026.
Cole did not return a request for comment.

The Ravenous Media Diet of Donald Trump
Philip Wegmann.1/3
President Trump has a frequent, if slightly out-of-date, complaint in the era of the online press:The stories he prefers always seem to get buried in the print edition.
After signing a deal to reduce drug prices, the presidentcomplained that the New York Times had only written “a little story,” andworse yet, the positive coverage was tucked “way in the back of the paper.” Never mind that the publication sells more digital than print subscriptions, or that the story now lives forever online. Trump remains obsessed instead with the real estate of the front page.
He reads hard copies of all the big papers and then he consumes most everything else.
The president famous for his attacks on “fake news”may be the most voracious consumer of journalism in the modern era. “You can't win battles unless you know your enemy,” Hogan Gidley, who served as principal deputy press secretary during his first term, told RealClearPolitics. “He knows the enemy because he reads them.”
More than half a dozen current and former White House officials, who requested anonymity to discuss the oversized presidential news diet, agree. The consensus:“He is a news junkie.”
The commander in chief begins his morningby channel surfingin the White House residence. “Fox and Friends” remains the favorite, but before the day officially begins,Trump flips through CNBC, CNN, and the cable station formerly known as MSNBC, a habit that inspires frequent media criticism shared via Truth Social.
A stack of newspapers awaits when Trump arrives in the private study outside the Oval Office. He reads the New York Times, New York Post, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal cover to cover. The president is known to peruse USA Today and the Financial Times. And it’s a close reading with Sharpie in hand.
Trump often writes notes to columnists and reporters. He will autograph pieces and send them back to their author if he agrees with the content, or he will write out, sometimes at length,exactly what he found objectionable. Then the president picks up the phone. Front-page news often drives the agenda most mornings.
A story about crime, drones, or the price of oil could move him toput a line into Attorney General Pam Bondi, Transportation SecretarySean Duffey, or CommerceSecretary Howard Lutnick. If there is a report about their department above the fold, a member of the Cabinet told RCP that a conversation is likely. “He reads constantly but doesn’t really forward articles,” the secretary said.“He will usually call.”
A fire drill follows as members of the president’steam either amplify good pressto stay in his good gracesor downplay unflattering stories as false. While Trump operates according to themaxim that all press is good press, White House officials are not given the same benefit of the doubt.“He judges people off the press they get,” explained a source who had been on the receiving end of that praise and criticism.
“Once Iwalked into the Oval Office the day after somebody had written something really criticalof me, and the president goes, ‘Looks like you got some very bad coverage in the Washington Post,’” recalled Mick Mulvaney, who served as Trump’s third chief of staff, in an interview with RCP.
“Boss,how is it thatyou know almost everything that’s written about youis false,” the chief objected “but everything you read about someone elsein the same outletis the gospel truth?”
Mulvaney remembersTrump laughingbefore admitting thathis chief “was probably right.”

The major outlets get first billing. News from smaller outlets trickles through as part of a prepared packet of reading. “Axios is a good example. He doesn't consume Axios in any organic way,” a source familiar with the president’s habits said of the Beltway-focused digital outlet, but if there is a short piece about positive polling or economic growth, that “is the kind of story that would get printed out for him.”
“I have never seen a more ravenous reader in my entire life,” said Gidley, the former principal deputy press secretary who recalled how boxes of articles, books, and magazines were regularly loaded onto Air Force One to maintain Trump’s interest.
This is the responsibility ofNatalie Harp. Executive assistant to the president, she occupies an office just outside the Oval andhas been dubbed “the human printer.”The devoted aide travels everywherewith a portable printerandemergency battery packto ensure she cansupply hard copies of news articlesto Trump at any time. Thismakes the 35-year-old Harp the most powerful news aggregatorin all of Washington. Some in the president’s orbitquestion her news judgement, especially after Harp notably forwarded the president articles from the conspiracy-minded outlets. Buther influence is undeniable and seldom checked, even by White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. “Her desk is a lot closer [to Trump] than Susie,” a source familiar with the dynamic said, “so there is only so much Susie can be visible to.”
The other avenue to the president? What White House staff call “intercepts,” the term for information texted by interested parties, often members of Congress, directly to the leader of the free world.
Trump appreciates the unscheduled updates from a wide circle. His staff can find them a burdensome distraction,especially when the reading inspires the president to change course. “Very little vetting goes into that sort of thing,” complained a source familiar with the process and who speculated thatan outside party may have texted the Trump the now infamous video portraying former President BarackObama and first lady Michelle Obama as apes. Trump later said he didn’t see that portion of the clip and deleted it from his social media.
Television remains omnipresent in the White House as Trump makes, then absorbs via osmosis, the news cycle. Four cable channels would play simultaneously on mute in the private office, so he could toggle between shows during his first term. The TV is now almost set exclusively to a single channel.
When word spread during the previous administration that President Biden still had the News Journal delivered to his Wilmington home, interest groups rushed to buy full-size ads in the small Delaware paper.But for Trump it is and always has been Fox News.
After Trump was reelected, Mulvaney quipped to a former member of the Cabinet thatthe two should buy the next two years of airtime on Fox News. They could have sold it, he joked, for healthy profit in the secondary market. But there is truth in that kidding. “Everyone in the whole world who wants to talk to the president knows they should buy ads on his favorite networks,” Mulvaney explained. This includes members of his own White House.
Trump often heaps praise on his people in public for a particularly good television appearance but in private he is known to deliver harsh criticism if his standards are not met. “He calls to tell me what a great job I did,” a member of the current Cabinet told RCP, before adding that, while they have only received positive feedback, with others the president can be “more negative.”

While Fox News remains the most important real estate,Gidley notes that the cable spectrum has expanded for Trump World. The White Housemocked CNN as “the Chicken News Network” after Stephen Miller was kept off those airwaves for a time. The acerbic deputy chief of staff has since been rebooked. “It was tough to get Cabinet secretaries on television in the first administration,” the former deputy press secretary said. “Now it’s like the only infighting is, who can get on television more?”
And the president watches it all, if not live, through clips after the fact.But he does not regularly watch the evening news on the major networks, sources familiar with his habits say, andhe “rarely” tunes in live to smaller upstart outletslike One America News and Newsmax despite their friendly editorial bent.
The White House disputed that characterization of programming preferences. “He watches Newsmax and OANN,” one official said while noting the interviews Trump has done with both networks and the clips he shares on social media. But there is a human limit to how much news anyone, even the president, can consume. What remains undisputed is Trump's adoration for TiVo. He often catches up on a large cache of programming after the workday is officially done using the recording service that he calls “one of the greatest inventions of all time.”
How can a presidentwatch that much television, let alone do that much reading, while also attending to the business of the nation? Sources close to the president say=the answer is simple: He doesn’t sleep, or at least, he sleeps very little, often just four hours.
“No president in history has a better finger on the pulse of what the American people truly care about than President Trump,” said White House spokeswoman Liz Huston. “That’s because President Trump is anextraordinarily avid consumer of information– always up to date on the news of the day so he can highlight his administration’s historic achievements and hold the legacy media accountable whenever they spread fake news.”
Such is Trump’s nature, said Martha Joynt Kumar, a Towson University political scientist who doggedly tracks presidential press interactions. “It goes back to who he is,” she said pointing to his sometimes friendly, sometimes adversarial courtship of New York tabloids before his days in politics: “Communications was critical to everything he did in business and later with ‘the Apprentice,’ where he learned how to deal with the world of television.”
Staff have tried to match the evolving and ravenous media diet of the president as best they can. The increased emphasis on the economy has inspired aides, including press secretary Karoline Leavitt, to add CNBC business coverage to their regular rotation. But regardless of what is on the screen, a source familiar with White House operations explained, “The first thing he asks when he walks into a room with a TV on is ‘What are they saying?’”
Often Trump already knows.
