High-profile real estate agent and reality TV star Ryan Serhant said Tuesday that he supports ongoing protests sparked by police brutality against Black Americans, adding that people need to proactively fight racism.

Serhant — who is best known as the star of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing franchise — made the comments during an afternoon session of Inman Connect Now. All speakers attended the event virtually thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, and during the session sounds from a nearby protest could be heard coming from outside the window of Serhant’s Manhattan office.
