On Friday morning residence staff found out that Angella Reid, the first woman and the second African American to be the chief usher at the White House, had been fired.

Considering there have only been 9 chief ushers since the beginning of the 21st century this is a big deal!

The Washington Post said that her duties as chief usher at the white house were to oversee “all activities in the White House residence and works as general manager of the building, handling everything from the large staff of butlers, maids, chefs, florists and electricians to fiscal, administrative and personal duties,”

White House officials told the Post “We are very grateful for her service and wish her the very best,”

But no further explanation has been given and it seems very fishy and at this time?

Hopefully she will be able to speak up or the White House will explain further.
