Jessica Krug was a neighbor from hell who stole packages, tried to “stomp” on a tiny black poodle and called a visitor a “stupid white bitch,” residents at her East Harlem apartment building told The Post on Friday.
The white George Washington University professor — who admitted Thursday to faking that she was black — “[once] told me to enjoy my last day alive,” said Anna Anderson, who lives three floors above Krug at the East 122nd Street building and has been locked in a feud with her over Krug’s alleged nasty bizarre behavior.
Another woman who is a friend of one of Krug’s other neighbors claimed, “I said, ‘Hi’ to her one day, and she said ‘stupid white bitch’ or something.”
Krug confessed to pretending to be black in a viral Medium post, allegedly because she was about to be outed.
The woman has been likened to Rachel Dolezal, a former NAACP leader from Washington who was caught in 2015 pretending to be black.
The neighbors said Krug bizarrely had inexplicable beefs with white visitors and residents.
Anderson said that the first time she met Krug, it was two to three years ago — and the white Jewish professor shut the front door on her.
“You know when two people are walking in the building at the same time, you kind of hold the door? She slammed the door in my face when I was behind her, so I had to look for my key,” Anderson said.
Krug went on to call Anderson “white trash” and “white bitch” “whenever she had the chance,” the neighbor said.
“She’s a tiny person but she’s got a very big attitude, and she kinda tried to come at me, threatened to stomp on my dog and provoke me to beat her up,” said Anderson, 39, who has a 9-year-old toy poodle, Lily.
“She’s like, ‘Are you gonna hit me, Are you gonna hit me? Are you gonna call the cops on me?’
“I used to go out running. She would pass me when I’m running and say, ‘Gentrifying,’ ” Anderson said.
“She called me, ‘White trash, go back to Ohio,’ which is funny, because I’m an immigrant, [but] I’m a white immigrant from Sweden.”
Anderson said her drama with Krug heated up when the race-faker allegedly started stealing her Blue Apron packages, leading the neighbor to call the cops on her after it happened twice.
A June 2018 criminal complaint and affidavit from an NYPD detective show there was a case involving Anderson and a woman named “Jessica Kruz,” who is the same age as Krug, at the Harlem building. The dispute centered on an allegedly swiped Blue Apron package. Police sources there is a record of “Jessica Kruz” being arrested but that it is sealed.
Anderson told The Post that she used to have a subscription to the meal-delivery service and that Krug was caught on camera throwing into the garbage a box of fresh food that had just been delivered to Anderson. A building manager recounted the videotaped incident to police, according to court papers.
“One day, my food delivery didn’t show up, so I asked my landlord if he could check the cameras, and he said, ‘Do you have any beef with Jessica?’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t know who Jessica is,’ and he said, ‘She stole your package and threw it in the garbage,’ ” Anderson recalled.
“I talked to a cop on the street, and he said it was a serious crime and that she could go to jail for that. I didn’t want to send someone to jail, but when she did it a second time, I got really pissed off.”
A letter from the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office shows she eventually got an order of protection taken out against “Kruz” in December 2018.
The building manager who talked to the cops about the Blue Apron incident declined comment to The Post on Friday.
Anderson said Krug also has “been throwing air punches at me” when they cross paths in the hallway and would slam the door on her when they were both entering the building together.
“It’s like she has a tick when she sees me,” Anderson said.
“I’m not really a fearful person. She calls me names and stuff, and it’s not OK, but it’s kind of funny, I’ll tell my friends about it and say, ‘if anything happens to me it’s definitely her.’ ”
The pair had another squabble about five to six months ago when Krug kept locking her bike to Anderson’s, the neighbor said.
“We have a bike shed in the building. She would take her chain and lock my bike to her bike so we were all locked together and she had the key… she was doing it on purpose, she is very childish,” Anderson said.
“I said ‘you need to unlock your bike from my bike,’ she was like, ‘What are you gonna do, call the cops?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, if you don’t unlock it within 12 hours,’ and she did [unlock it]. So I didn’t call the cops. I don’t like to call the cops on people. That’s not who I am.”
Anderson said Krug tried to claim that the issues people of color face during confrontations with police are something she has to deal with, too.
“Cops shoot people like us,” Anderson said Krug told her.
“She definitely gives the impression she’s not white, that’s how she comes across.”
“I just hope she gets the help she needs and doesn’t do any self-harm or something crazy.”
Krug was unable to be reached for comment.
