Trevian Kutti, a former publicist for Kanye West and R. Kelly, now finds herself in the middle of an explosive matter unfolding in Georgia. Kutti has been called to testify in an election meddling probe in the state after the publicist threatened a worker to admit falsely that voting results were tampered with in support of Donald Trump.
CNN reported on Georgia investigators calling on Kutti to testify in the probe on June 14, but the matter resurfaced on Twitter after Joy Reid mentioned the matter on The Reid Out show. Ruby Freeman was cornered by Kutti, who referred to the election worker as a “loose end for a party that needs to tidy up” and that she would face legal ramifications if she didn’t say that the voting process in the state was flawed.

It was thought that Trump would win the state in the 2020 presidential election, starting a long process and giving fuel to the “Stop The Steal” movement that the former business mogul popularized. Kutti isn’t the only witness that will be called to testify in front of the grand jury as others had their hands in attempting to upend the results of the election.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and her team already spoke with over 50 witnesses with plans to subpoena around a dozen more, including the aforementioned Kutti, according to sources that spoke with the network.
What was especially notable is that Freeman’s January 2021 encounter with Kutti was not the first time she was pressured by Trump supporters who sought to find flaws in the Georgia elections although little evidence of fraud was not found as has been the case for years despite differing statements otherwise.
In Reid’s Tuesday (June 21) broadcast, Shaye Moss, another Georgia election worker, was a point of discussion. Moss, who is the daughter of Freeman, testified at the Jan. 6 House select committee hearings sharing that she was harassed and threatened at length to the point the began to fear for her life.
On Twitter, Kanye West and Trevian Kutti found their names trending on Twitter. We’ve got a handful of those reactions below.

Joy Reid just pointed out that Lady Ruby is the Georgia poll worker who had Kanye West's ex-publicist show up at her house in person, threatening that she would be arrested in 48 hours if she didn't "come clean" and admit that there had been voter fraud in her district.

Kanye West tried to help Trump win a second term by running as a spoiler candidate in 2020 and his publicist ruined the lives of two Black women who volunteered to help out with the election in Fulton County, yet y'all will still buy his stuff and act like none of this matters.

Rachel Maddow is calling out the publicist of MAGA Kanye West who tried to pressure Georgia election officials into “forcing a false confession” of election fraud. This was a story that got brushed under the rug. Thank you Rachel for bringing it back into the national spotlight.

Hold up…is Ms. Ruby the woman Kanye West had his people go see and say the election was rigged or something along the lines?

Yes it is. Kanye's publicist Trevian Kutti. She also served as Angela Stanton's campaign manager. Harrison Floyd of Black Voices for Trump was involved with this scheme. Black conservatives haven't said a word about Ruby Freeman intimidation.

Her name is Trevian Kutti
Kanye West 's current publicist & former publicist for R Kelley.
Please use her name. Doesn't matter who paid her to go threaten Lady Ruby & Shaye, she willingly went & she deserves everyone knowing her name. #TrevianKutti

Among those who threatened Ruby Freeman was Trevian Kutti, an alleged Kanye associate and former publicist for R. Kelly, and a friend of Candace Owens. Here she is on a private jet with my pillow guy pic.twitter.com/r07diG4MBD

I hope @trevian__kutti is walking around in the same fear that Miss Freeman and Miss Moss have to because of what she did to those 2 honest, patriotic women.
Don’t think this country won’t forget you scared those women over a fraud, a liar and a dishonorable scumbag loser
