“THE MEYERS MURDERED LAYLEEN POLANCO,” claimed Morena’s sign-a reference to the 27-year-old Bronx woman’s June 2019 death in solitary confinement, after multiple epileptic seizures, two months after she was ultimately jailed for her lack of $500 in bail money-the end result of a 2017 arrest on misdemeanor prostitution and drug-possession charges as part of a police sting in which she allegedly agreed to give an undercover cop oral sex. Seth Meyers, whom NBC declined to make available to be interviewed for this report, is an active supporter of his wife’s organization and emceed Sanctuary for Families’ 2018 and 2019 fundraising galas. “It’s good to go after Seth Meyers, because he’s very famous,” she later admitted. The sign blamed Alexi and Seth Meyers for the Rikers Island death of a transgender sex worker and well-known figure in the city’s underground ballroom scene.

Joined by a few sex-worker friends on the sidewalk outside a WeWork facility in Manhattan’s Flatiron neighborhood-where the Meyers-hosted invitation-only confab was taking place-the 26-year-old Morena passed out leaflets and brandished a crudely hand-lettered sign under the watchful eye of a security guard who barred their entry and repeatedly shooed them away. Morena, meanwhile, wants simply to decriminalize everyone involved in the act of paid sex between consenting adults. Meyers-who calls herself an “abolitionist” and hopes some day that the sex industry will wither and die-favors legislation that would decriminalize prostitutes but maintain criminal penalties for customers, pimps, and other facilitators of such transactions. The ensuing fusillade of accusations and insults between Maya Morena and Alexi Meyers is just one indication of the rising passions over the prostitution issue as New York’s state legislature in Albany prepares to consider competing bills in January that address how cops and courts should deal with the so-called world’s oldest profession.īoth women want new laws that will inflict the least harm and minimize coercion, violence, and abuse.
