BLM's controversial co-founder Patrisse Cullors has admitted she lied when she said she had only ever used the group’s $6million LA mansion for official business. 

Cullors, 38, told the Associated Press Monday that she used the opulent seven-bed Studio City compound - purchased in cash by BLM in October 2020 - for her own recreation twice.  

The first instance saw her hold a party to toast Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's inauguration as president and vice president in January 2021.

Then, in March the same year, she commandeered the luxury property - whose purchase has sparked fury among other racial justice campaigners - for her school-aged son's birthday party.

Cullors said of her earlier decision to lie: 'I look back at that and think, that probably wasn't the best idea.' 

She previously issued a statement denying that she'd ever lived there or used the property for her personal gain after its purchase was revealed by New York magazine, triggering allegations of racism from BLM.
