Hudson County View obtained a vulgar video being shared on Facebook depicting Fulop Administration employee Brooke Hansson, a research assistant in the Jersey City Mayor’s Office according to her Linkedin page, on an expletive-filled rant directed at Bostwick Ave. residents.
WARNING: Video contains excessive coarse language.
UPDATE – Read Hudson County View’s follow-up editorial: 3 questions for Mayor Fulop post-Brooke Hansson’s rant
Text messages and e-mails seeking immediate comment from city spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill were not returned before the publication of this video.
Future comments from the Fulop Administration regarding this story will be updated on Hudson County View’s website.
Better get Mark Albiez on this.
really this is news?
Good for you girl! Wish i had the nerves to tell the drug dealers on my corner what I was thinking. I’m so sick of the noise, litter, and the needles on my street every morning. We need more people to stand up and fight for our community and stand up to these bullies
exactly what did this accomplish? did they leave? did they clean up? will they in any way modify their behavior? and she potentially put her safety at risk. childish, stupid, and pointless.
Just for the record. I do not know the person that parades as “Buster Hyman” or agree with its postings.
Plenty of “gotcha!” going on here, but no journalism of any worth. The fact that she has a city job seems to have gotten your attention, but it doesn’t deserve much from the public. Most of us are fed up with noise and garbage, so her dropping some f-bombs is a big so what.
This potty mouthed woman represents the Mayor’s Office, she is the assistant to the Chief of Staff and clearly is drunk and maybe even high at 3am. Walking around in that neighborhood with keys in her hand makes you wonder did she drive home in that condition? Where was she before this video was taken?
There are ways to handle this quality of life issue, this is not one of them. Let’s see if this gets brushed under the carpet. We all will be watching.
She didn’t drive, I know that. And if that crap was going on outside your house would you have the balls to do stand up? Thought not.
Wow Brooke maybe if you would use some of that energy on the RRC or 440 to get us some garbage cans in our community just maybe one of your issues might be on its way to being solved. How about talking to your boss about doing his job to bring the jobs to the people of Ward F instead of calling us a bunch of criminals? Unfortunately the only focus is on the supposed 45% of us with criminal records not the 55% of us who do not have criminal records. If our elected officials would actually stop worrying about themselves and fight for the resources our community deserves maybe you just might see a change….or maybe you should just move downtown where all of our money is spent.
Well I honestly think everything she stated was the truth you act like garbage so you therefore should be treated like garbage. I am behind her all the way.
That's funny…she seemed to be the only one acting like garbage yet she still has a job in our community.
Is that your real name or stripper name? And did you see all the garbage? Clean up your neighborhood.
I agree with what she says. I lived on Bostwick for 4 years I understand her Frustration. The area right where she was standing is always nasty. Grow up people get a life ,get Educated and have some respect and decency for yourself. Change is better.

A couple of notes.
1 – Context. This video starts what is clearly quite a ways into an argument. What lead to the escalation to the point she is screaming? I don’t know, and unless we get to see what happened earlier neither does anyone else.
2 – Brooke makes an awful lot of supposition. Drunk, high or just angry? Who knows? Certainly not us. And someone heading home with keys in their hand indicates they have been driving? Since when?
3 – Cluster refers to the Mayor calling people something he never did. It was a city council candidate who allegedly called everyone in Ward F criminals, though that was actually just spin. Her point appeared to me to be that the residents were being treated that way, though she was inarticulate enough so that it was impossible to be sure what she meant at the time.
All we see in that video is an angry person screaming. Is she being rightfully indignant or a whack job? Who knows? None of us.
“…rightfully indignant or a whack job?”
Gonna have to go with both.
How do you know they are car keys? My front door opens with keys too.
She is absolutely correct. I live in that area and many of the people hanging around there do not even live around there so they do not care about it. They throw trash everywhere. It is disgusting. Loud obscene music until 3 or 4 in the morning, kids running around until that time and no police presence. She was fed up and that’s just the way she expressed it. I see her every day coming in from work as I am leaving from work and she doesn’t bother anyone. They sit in front of her door every single day. They gamble, smoke drugs, drink and litter. They are very DISRESPECTFUL.
Animals live in filth. Learn to to speak English you filthy savages. good for her . She is right on point.
Right or not, what did she accomplish besides public embarrassment? Is Bostwick any cleaner or safer today? Right message, wrong messenger.
PS pick up your pants and maybe someone will hire you.
Mayoral spokesman Derrick Coleman responded "Well, whoop de damn do!"
Scandalous………..
I don't see anything wrong with what she said
Great Derrick you are one one who needs a new job the worst Mayor spokesman ever Why? You are out of touch with community
He has now been replaced with mayoral spokesperson Chad Johnson, who responded to inquiries of the incident with "Child, please…."
She goes beyond ranting and raving – she is on a complete tirade that could not have ended well. Anyone heard from her or checked on her welfare after this tirade? Any other choice comments beside police brutality and "have some self respect"? A model of self respect she herself is, with her short tight skirt and high heels parading around dark streets at night cursing a group of black men in their face.

Poor guy likely regretting his move from Union City.
What a piece of crap!! I grew up in Jersey City, she should go back to where the hell she came from..Good Luck there Brooke,
h
She seems dead-on except the police brutality crap.
Hmmm…gentrification gone wild! Clearly SHE needs to move back where she came from.
