Wait What! George Zimmerman Threatens To “Beat JAY-Z” Over Trayvon Martin film

JAY-Z and The Weinstein Company announced a six-part docuseries Rest in Power: The Trayvon Martin Story in March. Based on attorney Lisa Bloom’s book Suspicion Nation: The Inside Story of the Trayvon Martin Injustice and Why We Continue to Repeat It, it chronicles Trayvon Martin’s brief life, his shooting death at the hands of George Zimmerman and Zimmerman’s subsequent acquittal.

When Zimmerman learned the production team working on the docuseries attempted to interview his family, he threatened to “beat JAY-Z” and feed anyone who “fucks” with his parents to “an alligator,” according to The Blast.

It all started two weeks ago when the team — spearheaded by executive producer Michael Gasparro — made unannounced visits to both Zimmerman’s parents and uncle’s home where Zimmerman says they “harassed” his family. He didn’t confirm whether they went on camera to participate in the project.

“Anyone who fucks with my parents will be fed to an alligator,” he reportedly said.
