The tub was never fixed, however, so an upset Muller took to the complexโ€™s Facebook page to write a negative review about her experience, WFAA 8 reports.

โ€œItโ€™s years and years of grime. Just caked on there. And all I wanted was my tub fixed,โ€ she told the news station. โ€œ[It] was supposed to be [clean] when I moved in.

โ€œI just went on there and did the review so that everyone else wouldnโ€™t fall for it,โ€ she added.

After some conversation on the page, the complexโ€™s Facebook account retorted with a message containing the n-word in all caps.

"I feel insulted. Degraded. I feel embarrassed. Not cool. At all,โ€ the Iraq War veteran told WFAA 8. โ€œI think thatโ€™s outrageous.โ€

Bridge Property Management, which is in charge of the apartment complex, called the act โ€œcybervandalismโ€ and insisted that the account, which the company says is managed by a third party, was hacked. Muller, however, isnโ€™t buying any of it and may hire an attorney to file a housing-discrimination lawsuit.
