Fired Cleveland Safety Official Appeals in Court and TikTok

Jakimah Dye argues her 2024 firing by City Hall wasn't justified, stemming from a February car crash in a city vehicle.

Dye, an ousted Cleveland public safety official, has turned to TikTok to clear her reputation. Her social media videos feature AI-generated illustrations, including one where Mayor Justin Bibb and Council President Blaine Griffin engage in a tug of war with a rope labeled "accountability."

In one video, Bibb and his cabinet are depicted as children.
