Charles Ramsey, the Cleveland man who helped rescue three kidnapped women says he is broke, homeless, and needs a job.
Ramsey became an overnight celebrity after he helped free Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight who were held captive for over 10 years by Cleveland school bus driver Ariel Castro.
Donations poured in for the unlikely hero who used part of his windfall to purchase a used BMW for $8,000. Ramsey reportedly turned down offers of free burgers for the rest of his life from more than a dozen northeast Ohio restaurants. He also reportedly spurned a job offer from McDonald’s.
“I’m broke, bro,” Ramsey told UK’s Mail Online in a recent interview. He said he was fired from his job as a dish washer in a kitchen because customers frequently barged in to shake his hand. He also claims to be homeless because no landlord wants the hassle of taking him in. But sources tell Mail Online that Ramsey raked in over $30,000 in cash and is expected to earn up to $50,000.
From Mail Online:
In his first interview since the days after the women escaped Castro’s dungeon, Charles Ramsey told MailOnline: ‘I’m broke bro, and that’s the truth’ and said that he is homeless because no landlord wants the hassle of taking him in.
He claims he can’t hold down a job because of the attention he receives. He said when he worked in a kitchen so many customers would barge in to shake his hand that he was fired.
Sources tell MailOnline, however, that Ramsey’s income in the two months since the girls escaped is around $30,000, including fees from lucrative corporate speaking engagements and $15,000 donated by well-wishers. He has been booked in for another four speaking slots and can expect his earnings to reach $50,000.
He has bought an $8,000 BMW, bragged about being rich and started a business selling T-shirts with his face on them for $25 each.
But Ramsey’s former neighbors claim he exaggerated his role in the rescue of the girls.

Everybody saw this coming Charles
Should’ve took that reward money and bought u a cheap azz foreclosure like I said
What happened to the spokesperson for Mickey D’s gig, yall gone learn
Morning Roses & Thorns :wave:
Why can’t he work in a kitchen far removed from patrons? Or another anonymous job. Anyhoo, saw this coming actually, just thought it’d take a little longer for him to resurface. Sidenote- he shole looks like Eddie Murphy’s daddy.
Ty
If George Zimmerman, aka
, can collect money then so can he.
Can we go in on him or will we be chastised again today
How is it his fault the patrons are coming back there to see him?? I mean aren’t they not supposed to be in the kitchen anyways? Seems like that’s a healthcode violation.
He got $70 to be spending on True Religion tees though

He bought a used BMW and paid cash for it? It’s not like he went out and got 2014 Lexus
My people just won’t do right!
Who didn’t see this coming! For starters he can sell that BMW he brought and get a year bus pass. Prior to the spotlight he depended on public transportation. Secondly move from the neighborhood and rent a room across town he rented a room prior to the spotlight. No one is checking for him some things you have control of and this is one IMO.. Accept the donations and get your life.

Doesn’t matter. The upkeep of a BMW is crazy, especially a used one. No warranty, oil changes are expensive as hell alone. She is right, if you can’t afford the upkeep, don’t get it even for cheap.<—see what I did there I'mma freaking wordologist!

@ Wut, I was thinkin’ it. But you said it!!
Oh there they go. There they go, every time I start talkin ’bout boxing, a white man got to pull Rocky Marciano out their ass. That’s their one, that’s their one. Rocky Marciano. Rocky Marciano. Let me tell you something once and for all. Rocky Marciano was good, but compared to Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano ain’t shit.
Who turns down a lifetime supply of free burgers and purchases a car for 8K if your homeless. Seems like his priorities were a bit backwards. I am not to sure about him purchasing a home as the upkeep will surely be too much for him to handle. Find a low income rental, a used toyota/nissan, steady work and keep it moving. Sorry but his 15 minutes of fame expired 14 minutes ago.
i would have been on tv shuckin’, jivin’ and getting them checks to get as far as heck from where he was living. everybody that wanted to throw me some cash for an appearance as long as it was nothing too shady, i would been down. shameful i know, but sometimes you gotta play up on ish to see some comma’s on ya bank account balance.
I drove a Lexus for years and the maintenance was minimal. I kept the oil changed and had no other issues other than the usual tires and brakes. Typically, luxury cars are less likely to brake down, from my experience. But to each their own…
God luck, Charles. You’ll figure it out
That still shot of Mr. Ramsey up top looks like he’s sangin’ the HELL out of an old negro spiritual. A high note at that!

Yeah when you don’t want to void your warranty. but past warranty.. Jiffy Lube will work.
You cannot just roll a BMW up to any lube and tune and get a oil change and expect to get more than a block down the road afterward. Try it if you want to… My dumb brother tried to put mid-grade gas in his 2002 BMW…

You must have an older model without a warranty, cuz the warranty specifically states not to do so because it could potentially damage the engine. If you are still under warranty if your engine breaks down prematurely… they won’t honor it.
