*The viral “Brick Lady” has turned herself in to police after being charged for allegedly lying about being attacked by a man after she refused to give her phone number to him.
We reported earlier that Roda Osman, 33, used the incident to raise more than $42,000 on GoFundMe.
Osman went viral late last year after claiming a Black man cold-clocked her in the face with a brick. She was charged last week for fabricating parts of the story and profiting off her lies.
In a video shared online and posted on Instagram by the shade room, Osman (also known as Rho Bashe) can be heard saying, “Y’all, this man just hit me in my face with a brick and all these Black men just watched. This man…grabbed a rock and hit me in my face because I wouldn’t give him my number.”
The video shows Osman yelling at the crowd of men and saying, “I want you to be a man and do something. You gonna let a man hit me in my face?”

Osman is seen in a follow-up video wearing a hospital gown and her face swollen. She claims the crowd watched a brick hit her and let the man who assaulted her flee in a car. “How is this OK?” she asked.
Her video garnered millions of views on social media, and she became known as the ‘Brick lady.’
During the investigation, police viewed the security cameras at the Houston club where Osman claims the assault occurred. Surveillance footage showed Osman and the man initially accused of hitting her with a brick getting into an argument. He appears to strike Osman in the face with a water bottle after she slapped him.
Roda Osman is an excellent case study of just how far a pathological liar will go to convince others they’re a victim when they made decisions they don’t want to take accountability for. https://t.co/Rlp1wu0cO9
