Marcy Irene erupted on Facebook Live after her son was sentenced, launching a racist, disrespectful tirade that targeted the family of slain 14-year-old Lyric Woods.
The mother of a 21-year-old man who tried — and failed — to sell a self-defense story to a jury appeared to completely unravel on Facebook just hours after her son was sentenced in Orange County, North Carolina, to 20–25 years in prison for murder.
Instead of showing even a sliver of humility, accountability, or respect for the lives lost, the woman did the exact opposite — hopping on Facebook Live to gloat, scream, and attack grieving families in what can only be described as a disturbing public meltdown.
Her son, Issiah Ross, was convicted Thursday of second-degree murder in the death of 18-year-old Devin Clark. Ross was also charged in the killing of 14-year-old Lyric Woods, but after at least two days of jury deliberations on the charge for Lyric, jurors deadlocked and the judge declared a mistrial. Prosecutors are allowed to retry Ross on Woods’ case.
But if you listened to Ross’s mother — who goes by Marcy Irene on Facebook — you’d think her son just walked free.
“What, you mad? You mad that we won? We really won. Y’all think y’all won,” Marcy said the Facebook Live video.
In one clip captured, Marcy was inside a Food Lion when she escalated her rant into a racist, profanity-filled tirade that targeted Lyric Woods’ family directly.
“You mad that we won for real — that it didn’t take your white skin, your money, your power, or your title to win?” Marcy said.
“You mad that Black people actually got the verdict they wanted? You mad? You mad? White motherfuckers, f**k you. You mad? Because Black people actually got to stand on the stand and read their notes — and you didn’t.”
She then doubled down, making it clear her anger wasn’t about justice — it was about race.
“You thought you were going to win because of your skin color, because of your title, but you know what? The Black people actually won.”
Marcy went on to accuse Lyric Woods’ parents of trying to allegedly stop Devin Clark’s mother “from the finding of her son’s body.” She then mocked the courtroom proceedings, laughing loudly while pointing out that Clark’s family was allowed to read victim impact statements while Woods’ family was not.
“They were the ones who got to stand up and read their notes — not y’all white motherfuckers,” she said.
“I’m glad the Black people won.”
As if that wasn’t reckless enough, another part in her video, Marcy continued her rant while singing a made-up song celebrating the verdict.
“Justice was really served,” she sang.
“Justice was really served for Lyric. Justice was really served for Lyric.”
She then minimized the deaths entirely, choosing instead to brag about when she believes her son will be free again.
“My son will be out by the time he’s 31… 32. He’ll be out by the time he’s 32,” Marcy said.
“That’s okay. I’ll take that. I’ll take that all day.”
She continued:
“You that’s laughing — I could say some shit that would really hurt your spirit, but I’m not going to do that. I’m not going to do that because I’m not that evil. I’m evil, but I’m not that evil. All I’m going to say is my son will be out by the time he’s 31… 32. Can you say that?”

Wow
Shes a nasty racist. Its absurb that in 2026 this is where we are..Keep pushing white are all racist and this will continue to get worse..
I hope when they take him back to court for Lyrics Murder they give him Way Longer! He will only be a criminial with Mom/family like that.
Prayers to the familys that lost their children. I hope they can find some peace in all the chaos.
Agree 10000000%! I pray they go back to court and have a re-trial for lyric and he is convicted! This was so disgusting to watch and with a mother like that no wonder he is where he is now. She is still raising children also and that is the scary sad part!
You are one sick twisted sorry excuse of a mother. Sit down and shut up.
Insane. You can blame the outcome on Orange County going Liberal. Far as Issiah, your can see the evil and anger in his eyes, that it is evident that his egg donor instilled in him. This isn’t the Orange County I grew up in and don’t desire to ever return to. Hopefully this insane egg donor’s racist rant will influence the outcome and sentence of the retrial.
She is her son’s problem. She’s crazy!
That shit was the most trashy thing I’ve ever witnessed. I’ll tell you what, I’m looking forward to little Lyric’s retrial. I pray to God that this video throws the BIGGEST wrench in his appeal. #lifesentenceisjusticeforLW
First of all, she is the poster child for Mentally ill, deranged, psychopathic behaviors! What mother does this😡. What sick mother celebrates her child being in jail for even 1 minute? I’m not sure WHY she is saying “ black people won” she is CLEARLY DELUSIONAL. As a black woman she DOES NOT REPRESENT black folks. What happened to those kids was HORRIBLE. The fact that she is an adult taunting disgusting things towards a deceased child’s family is unfathomable. SHE is the EPITOME of her son in its totality! I almost feel sorry for her son because it seems he never had a chance with her as a mother. No one won! This was not some Price As Right game😡 WHO TF says things like this? Her son murdered 2 people! She is a disgusting human being.
As a mother… my heart aches for both families 🙏🏽 and I pray you find some solace of peace.
Of course she doesn’t represent Black people. She’s a crazy Caucasian woman. Crazy comes in all races. There’s, literally, nothing about her that represents black people…
Beautifully said!
This was replaying to someones comment not the mother of the killer. Not sure why it keeps reposting as a new comment!
That is also the food lion in Mebane NC, on Hwy 119…. we got you
Crazy she trashing talking racist crap like that. All she doing is putting a bullseye on him when he gets to prison. The white supremists will be looking for him. Stupid move on her part.
She put a bullseye on the entire crew…… stay tuned
I see where he gets his ways from now!!
She should be sentenced with him for raising such a PoS!!
I’ve got a feeling he will get his one way or another KARMA has a way of doing that!!
That woman is gonna get what she is deserving of too, to go public and talk shit to the parents of the girl her son killed, she doesn’t need to breath another breath of the same air that we breathe!!!!!
Lyrics dad is my cousin, trust and believe we on it, we do things with our phones other than make videos, her weldare azz, is jsut trying to make ends meet with clicks and views for her cut in welfare
I’m with you. Her son safer than her. She better watch out with all that mouth she got. Ugly self may not be around to see her son turn 32 caus God don’t like ugly and he can sit you down. And will. Evil devious bisssh is what she is. I would love to come across her. Stg I would.
That was really disturbing!!
Where’s the actual video ?
