Rhyanon Mcnab posted on Facebook on September 5, 2024 that read “Ooo … I made the paper .. again #Kenoshanews.” She would later comment “Uhmmmmm sorry but uh yea I look like a celebrity model the camera loves me and I love the camera “
With the post, she shared a 2-page full color fluff piece about her new eyelash business. Seems like good reporting from Kenosha News’ reporter Jillian Craig, right? Not so fast. Here’s the thing – Mcnab is a convicted felon. Not just any convicted felon, but a convicted looter during the Kenosha Riots of 2020 – a felony that us Kenoshans hate the most.
According to court documents, Mcnab was charged with Burglary of a Building or Dwelling, theft, and criminal damage to property for burglarizing a beauty store during the riots. The Kenosha DA’s office, who was very soft on the rioters, looters and others, dismissed the theft and criminal damage to property charges. They recommended probation after she was convicted of the Felony Burglary of “Uptown Beauty.” That’s what she got, probation. A year before the riots, a member of the community got a four-year harassment restraining order against Mcnab.
Mcnab also got herself over $20,0000 from the PPP (Covid Program)
According to the criminal complaint:
On Monday 8/24/20 at about 0746, Kenosha Police Officers responded to Uptown Beauty, 6136-22 Ave. in Kenosha for a burglary complaint. On arrival, they met with the owner, who stated that his store was entered several times between 0100 to 0500 on 08/24/2020. Entry was gained by breaking out the window in the entry door. A multitude of items were stolen, display cases were vandalized, two cash registers were pried open and a cabinet where cash was locked up was pried open, about $5000.00 was taken. The store has video surveillance footage of the incident.
A detective was assigned to the case and surveillance footage was analyzed. Another Kenosha Police Officer recognized Mcnab as one of the people who was carrying merchandise out of the store. In speaking with the owner of Uptown Beauty, he estimated the value of merchandise taken and damage done to be well in excess of $2,500 independently. Notwithstanding this dollar amount, Mcnab was only charged with misdemeanor theft, not felony theft as she should have been.
Mcnab plead guilty almost three years after the burglary and Judge Dougvillo allowed the plea deal and gave her only two years of probation. She has recently filed a motion with Dougvillo to end her probation early.
KCE contacted Kenosha News Editor John Sloca (D) by email and phone. He didn’t respond. KCE is told he supports the fluff piece because he believes in second chances. Second chances, maybe. But for the City’s only print Newspaper, to elevate and feature someone who burglarized items from a beauty store during the City’s worst time ever? Maybe she’s using some of the stolen items with her new business. Shame on the Kenosha News for this crap. While your rag still has a pulse, you still have an obligation to be ethical. Stop the madness and get an editor who isn’t “asleep as the wheel.” Sloca, you’re old and worn out, resign and let someone who cares take over your failing paper. Also, the time for Kenosha Judges’ rubber-stamping of over-generous pleas deals should come to an end. You should all be more like Judge Schroeder and jump deals.

Maybe…just maybe. There’s someone that’ll do to her business what she’s done to others’.
🤞🤞
And in what way would that make Kenosha a better place?
Then maybe she’d leave.
Kenosha would finally get some measure of justice. If only the rioters had destroyed property belonging to the DA and associates, maybe they’d know the pain.
Eye for an eye
Eyelash for an eyelash
Her and that useless rag are meant for each other.
Kenosha News is the worst! You have to call them to unsubscribe and wait on hold to talk to people in India to do so.
Such a rip off
Really? You get someone from another country when you want to talk with someone at Kenosha News? That’s crazy! I only thought that companies outsource their calls when there are so many that they can’t handle the amount coming in. Unless it’s all NEGATIVE calls, I can’t imagine Kenosha News is getting that many calls! LOL We haven’t used KN for many years. We didn’t even accept the ones they used to try to GIVE away at the Super Value ( now Festival Foods) grocery store years ago.
Exactly. The cancelation email address that they give you bounces. When you call and get India on the line, they make you an offer to try to get you to stay. They kept sweetening the offer and I just kept saying “cancel.” Took about 15 minutes.
Mean time they have your C.C.#!
It would be great if Kenoshans had some idea of just how many 2020 rioters, arsonists, and looters that useless weasel Gravely either dropped all charges against or gave sweetheart plea deals to. If I owned Uptown Beauty and this woman opened a business where she could be using mech she stole from my store, I would be pissed off.
Simple answer, all the rioters had their charges dropped or lowered to simple ordinance violations. Most if not all of the ones who had actual misdemeanors, had their charges expunged from their records. Therefore, the destruction of the city “never happened”. Pathetic.
Yes, these types of soft on crime policies has also allowed for the pastor from
Grace Lutheran church who was a protester and was arrested on a state charge of which the DA’s office lowered to a Ticket to team
Up with Kenosha Unified school district and his followers , some whom are teachers . Which allows him to be brought into the school and in addition. to bring the kids to his church. Makes you wonder what side they all are really on. Teaching the kids well. From a man who helped influence more damage to the city and to unified property, in addition to putting our public servants in harms way. .I Wonder if most of the parents understand his involvement. I know there are school board members who know and do not care.
At least Kyle Rittenhouse held a couple of these losers accountable.
A database would be great as long as it named officials who gave those turds a pass so we can run them out of town.
Unless a business owner seeks a customer base of far left degernerate liberal democrats and union teachers most would view a K-News piece as a negative.
“Sloca, you’re old and worn out”. lmao!
As a retired 30.+ year employee of the news it’s time for the owners either get rid of old dead weight or sink. There are some good ones that still work there but they don’t kiss ass so they don’t move up the ladder.
The good reporters at Kenosha News, if they really are, should leave. There is only one good reporting company in Kenosha County, that’s Kenoshacountyeye.com.
Sorry but the good reporters have long gone-we are stuck with woke, poorly educated reporters now
you too? I was there for 20 years and it tanked big time after Howard died. I got out of there
Howard is rolling in his grave today with what his daughters did to his baby! PS I got 10 more years of seeing it go down.
What ladder? more like a four foot 3-legged step stool.
Kenosha news is a liberal rag. Of course they would do a story like this. Worse newspaper ever.
Thats the same girl who’s brother died in the kenosha county jail a few years ago, she must of used that lawsuit money to open the business. Looks like us kenoshians are double paying for her wannabe success.
Or maybe it’s her Onlyfans….
What was her brother’s name and what did he die from?
Her brother Reighnn Post-McNab was killed in the county jail in 2022.
Come on she gets the hot chick pass. In 10 years he can reuse the same material to do then vs now when she is looking at 20 to life.
I fail to see the attractiveness. I’m sure it doesn’t help that she’s a degenerate felon…
She looks like a self centered snotty little brat.
Maybe she sucked Sloca’s cocktail Weiner.
Kenosha News has been a rag for decades. They publish puff pieces over actual news. Notice how they didn’t pick up the KUSD lawsuit story?
and how they side with the pornographers in KUSD–i mean librarians
Librarian pornographers?
Explain please
Fuck the Kenosha news. Look at who the owners are! Communists.
The Kenosha News died years ago. They have sports recaps from games that happened two days ago. They are a joke. You have to be brain dead to read it for anything other than obituaries
I cancelled my subscription years ago. If I have some time to waste , I go read it for free at the library. Every time I do , it reinforces my decision to cancel it.
No more stray cats or dogs in Kenosha…….Where have they gone?
Haitians
I’ve been wondering about the feral cat population over here. We used to have a lot of cats, ,and now there isn’t one to be seen. We no longer have rabbits as well. I know there was a disease several years ago that was taking out rabbits, but there are rabbits in other areas.
Lee Enterprises owns the Kenosha news and 76 other newspapers in America. Propaganda
yes and Jillian Craig is a flaming libtard
How the hell do you know? I’m a current employee, and she has a “don’t tread on me” sticker on the back of her car. Matter of fact I’ve seen her wear little confederate flag earrings on occasion as well.
😮
Libtard??? LMAO!!! Never heard that before.
I just celebrated my 5th Anniversary of canceling the Kenosha News! Was a subscriber for over 40 years, and then they became WOKE! Liberal rag of a newspaper! 👎
it has been about the same for me–i am much healthier for it
She looks silly.
The spelling on her inmate booking is Rhyanon. However, she changed her name so if you do public records search, she is not found. Her brother Reighnn Post-McNab was killed in the county jail in 2022. Her father ‘poison’ is gang affiliated and has sued the city of Kenosha and has made a good living for himself. If you want to lose brain cells or see how this next generation is, just go to her FB page and watch her live videos.
Sloca is the worst! He needs to be let out into the pasture. Very common of him not to respond because he does not care! What a crappy piece but typical of the K/News as they have ceased relevancy after Howard Brown passed. I wouldn’t buy that paper to line my bird cage, let alone read the thing.
It’s really a shame how the paper has gone downhill. I also received the Racine Journal Times until recently. Page for page, the two were identical except for a couple of pages of local news. When I called to cancel, they offered to cut the subscription rate. I said no thanks. They offered to cut it even further. No thanks. Then they asked how much I would be willing to pay. Just cancel it please.
The Kenosha News used to be full of Kenosha’s news. Birth announcements, divorces, real estate transfers, the long-dead Court Report that would update us on the more serious cases going through the courts, and other articles of varied local interest. Those are all gone. The News is owned by a big corporation, Lee Enterprises, that puts out boilerplate news with a few tweaks for each locality. I guess print newspapers are of a bygone era now.
Fuck her!!! Suggest burning her store it the same manner she is accustomed to, only exception, she has to be in it.
You should do a story on COVID PPP Loans. For example, Chiappetta Shoes received nearly $250k in loans that were all forgiven. So they used the money to build a new store, another Italian family from Kenosha scamming the system. As if they really missed out on $250k in sales during the COVID lockdowns.
The Italians run this town, havent you heard? Piss them off and theyll come for you.
Thats the Madrigranos and the guy that has the tavern pool table racket.
You clearly have NO idea of what you are talking about.
The Madrigrano family has donated more money to good causes in this community and gotten community projects done for decades.
Probably more money than you ever made in your pitiful existence. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Oh so that makes it OK?
Fuck off
You have no idea what you are even talking about.
So go fuck yourself.
John gotti has donated more than they ever did
Holy fuck the arrogance of you Italians, are you all snobs? Take your donations and shove them up your ass. Who is in charge of the Boys and Girls Club? Isn’t he a convinced felon for tax fraud?
Racist much?
Yeah but where is that money coming from?
Laundered cash from shady dealings. Bribes. What else is Kenosha’s Little Italy up to?
The billiard business is owned by Sam Iaquinta. Not sure if jr is around anymore or if Next generations took over.
Sam Iaquinta died in 1999. Change your name to Rip Van Winkle.
Wow…
They didn’t build the store they are in now .
At least get your story straight.
Chiappetta Shoes availed themselves of a government offer. If you have a problem with that (and you sure seem to), take it up with your representatives–if you even know who they are.
When this program was announced, it was an obvious boondoggle, but Chiappetta Shoes did nothing illegal. (Eric Hovde’s family got a LOT more that was forgiven and had a LOT more money to begin with, i.e., did not need the loans at all. Their loans were all forgiven.)
The subject person of this article is not even Italian, so why are you dragging Kenosha’s Italian community into this and trying to smear them?
“The purpose of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) was to help small businesses keep their employees on payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Please, where the FUCK does it state in there that the PPP loan is supposed to be used to build a newly upgraded store? It is so easy to call out the Italian community as the majority of you are crooks, racist pieces of shit that would sell their mother out for a dollar.
Are you a liberal? A racist liberal casting a wide net?
Typical brain dead air head. She get what’s coming to her.
Best parts of the Kenowhere 3 day old News, have been discontinued and it is not anything that takes much work the mugshots and property sales must be not liberal PC.
I saw the writing on the wall so I cancelled that liberal propaganda paper in 2016. Never looked back, never regretted. POS owners and editors
can kiss my ass, and my money, goodbye.
Zero respect for all of them.
Judging by the mug shot that chick must be providing free make overs for KUSD teachers.
Thats the Madrigranos and the guy that has the tavern pool table racket.
She’s a piece of shit and so is the libturded dumocratic Kenosha News!
I’m mad at Sloca for canceling all of my favorite comics and replacing them with unfunny ones from the Stone Age. Must have been cheaper to switch to the duds. Sloca sucks ass.
Here’s your reminder to keep your kids home from KUSD on 9/20– state count day. The best way to tell the School Board that you’re pissed is to hit them in the pocketbook. Keeping your kids home on count day is the best way to do that!
#tankthecount
Yes, because that will really help your children in the long run. *eyeroll*
My kids don’t go to KUSD, because I love them and know that they deserve better than a two-bit, bottom-of-the-list, admin-heavy, joke of a school system 😂
The only people affected by this are the kids. Teachers are already woefully underequipped in the classroom. And they frequently pay for their own supplies.
Don’t punish our kids because of KUSD’s corruption.
If a child is errantly spending money, you don’t keep giving them money. You stop giving them money and teach them to make do with what they have.
You people that think that this is only going to hurt the kids are obviously better at complaining than actually taking action.
If you really love your children, and want them to receive a quality education, pull them out of KUSD PERMANENTLY.
I did even better. I pulled them out all together!!!
We avoided it altogether, homeschooling for the win!
Since he believes in 2nd chances, I suppose he would approve a positive story about Kyle Rittenhouse if he started a business in Kenosha, right?
I stopped reading KNews years ago. It was a thin paper. Yes. Even digitally. Little news. Full of ads. For businesses I cannot shop at as I live 750 miles from K.
Kevin, you are doing a GREAT job of doing REAL reporting. Something KN has not done, well in easily 50 years, if ever. (I had a route; so I read the paper.) KN was vapid in the early 70s.
What? The city has a newspaper…thought that went away with the dinosaurs. You have to write something when you can’t write the news. You need to make things up….stir up old news, hoping to get a rise out of some. Politicians do it all the time! Both sides! I had to look at the KN website and it asked me to pay $1 for 3 months. All that and I’d get:
E-edition PLUS unlimited articles & videos
Personalized news alerts with our mobile app

Hundreds of games, puzzles & comics online
Everything I could get free if I knew where to look!
I’ve sat here a few days thinking . I told my daughter not to respond to the attack on her character by responding to her accuser.
“Sometimes silence is the loudest voice”
Then I thought .. I’m her mom… it’s my job to protect and defend her, so here is my response
Mr. Mathewson
First…your facts are incorrect
Second…your using a horrific attack on our city against my daughter
third… you accused her of profiting from her brothers death to start her business
Her brother , my son, died in the city jail
Still today, years later we have no cause of death or reason for his death. No law suit was filed, no money received. All we have is our grief over losing someone we loved.
Her success came from hard work,determination and the ability to look past the negativity towards her because she’s a young, smart, gifted beautiful woman .
She rose above and gives back to her family, friends and community. More than you’ll ever know
She is loved and supported by her family, friends and clients.
Your attack shows more about who you are.
I could throw your life mistakes at you— but to what purpose
You’ve made yourself known on your own
I’ll pray for you
I’m a PROUD mom of a beautiful, successful, honorable young woman and human being
Rhyanon Mcnab is more than deserving of everything she’s achieved .
I’m sorry you raised two convicted felons, one convicted of burglary once, and the other twice. Not my fault. And help me please, where did I write that your son’s death helped her business? I’ve met Annie many times. She is a sweet girl who made a bad decision and should be held accountable. I don’t hate her.
Maybe she’ll grow up to be president. Felonies aren’t a problem in government
There might be a different response if the paper gave all true facts and ran it as a “second chance in life” apologetic for past experiences, apology given to the victims of her crimes. No it is a fluff piece that overlooks her past crimes. I would not consider this person as honorable. I know of many honorable young men and women in Kenosha who are struggling, who have student loans, who did not commit crimes, who did not get a 20k covid loan and should be role models for young women in our community. This might be a good second chance story if the truth was given up front and she has shown remorse for her past behavior. My kids are honorable, the do not have criminal records, they do no commit burglary, they do not steal. Not sure why she is more deserving of 20K and a full spread newspaper add than many other young honorable adults in Kenosha who deserve a big writeup.
You’re assuming what you read was correct.
Public records tell a different story than the newspaper along with the dictionary, not personal, definition of honorable. If you want to put yourself out there as an outstanding citizen, go ahead. But when public records show a different story, then own up to it. That is what an honorable person would do.
If you did not want your dirty laundry put out for all to see then maybe you should have reconsidered a full spread add in the newspaper.
She got 40,000
She got over $40000.
Shame on Kenosha News. Do you really think Kenosha News had the best interest for your daughter? Do you really think they did this for her benefit ? No, Kenosha News uses people to fill and sell the paper. Who is feeling the backlash? Not the paper. Do you think Kenosha News cares that people are fact checking and calling out the story? Nope. Now you are angry and blaming the people who have every right to fact check an article. Citizens have a right to call out the newspaper for writing a fluff story, your daughter went along with it and now the bigger picture is out there.
Just because someone points out facts does not equal hate. That is the type of nonsense that Kenosha News feeds on. You on the other hand are spewing a lot of assumptions , not facts.
Throwing stones at KCE for exposing the trash of Kenosha cause you raised (2) convicted felons?
Wrong, your daughter stole over $40,000 dollars in PPP loans. She also looted a local business which just happens to be the same type of business she just opened. And then the dummy flaunted all the money on social media with vacations, expensive bags and veneers. Her best friend and x boyfriend also got $40,000 and everyone knows the don’t have a business. Sorry, but your daughter is a thief and bad person who will be paying for her sins when the government catches her
Sounds like you all have nothing better to do than to hate. I have witnessed My friend work HARD to accomplish what she has where yall sitting at your miserable jobs living miserable lives hating behind a screen. We love to pray on someone mistakes instead of recognizing hard work growth and change. You all need to take a long look in the mirror because if we aired out your dirty laundry I’m sure it would stink just as bad
