CHICAGO (CBS) — Large crowds on the lakefront are again drawing the ire of Mayor Lori Lightfoot, who warned Saturday evening on Twitter that she might be forced to close the city’s lakefront again if people don’t stop what she called “reckless behavior.”

The number of new COVID-19 cases, and the positive test rate for the virus have been climbing steadily in Chicago and across Illinois for the past several weeks, prompting Lightfoot and Gov. JB Pritzker to caution that they might be forced to resume some restrictions that were lifted earlier this summer if new cases aren’t brought under better control.

Lightfoot sounded the alarm again on Saturday, sharing a photo on Twitter of a large crowd gathered at Montrose Beach, with few if any masks in sight, and most people in the picture not keeping six feet away from each other, the two most basic public health measures recommended by the CDC and local health departments to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

“It’s called a pandemic, people. This reckless behavior on Montrose Beach is what will cause us to shut down the parks and lakefront. Don’t make us take steps backwards,” Lightfoot wrote.

The mayor later posted that she personally visited the beach and said “it’s being addressed.”

Several police vehicles were spotted at Montrose Beach not long after the mayor’s tweet, and several smaller groups of people were seen leaving the area.

Lightfoot shut down the city’s lakefront trail, lakefront parks, and beaches in late March, along with the 606 trail and the Riverwalk, after too many people ignored her warnings to avoid large gatherings as the pandemic was in its infancy and just beginning to spike in the first wave in Chicago.

The Riverwalk reopened in mid-June, and the lakefront and 606 trail reopened about two weeks later, although the beaches remain closed, and visitors are required to “keep it moving” on the lakefront.

Since the city began its gradual reopening process earlier this year, Lightfoot has said many times she does not want to force businesses to shut down again, or close public spaces again, but she said she won’t hesitate to do so if people don’t observe proper public health precautions to prevent the spread of the virus — particularly by wearing masks in public, and staying six feet away from others whenever possible.

According to Mayor Lightfoot, she’s not resigning and the “homophobic, racist and misogynistic” rumors are untrue.

Below this line, the original story begins.

___________________________

The city of Chicago has been calling for the resignation of Mayor Lori Lightfoot following the fatal shooting Adam Toledo, but now, rumors are swirling that she could be stepping down for a completely different reason.

Activists throughout the city of Chicago are calling for her resignation, along with Police Superintendent David Brown, following the release of bodycam footage that shows an officer fatally shooting 13-year-old Adam Toledo.

According to reports from CBS Chicago, protesters marched throughout the city on Thursday after the city’s police oversight agency released footage of the fatal shooting on March 29 in the Little Village neighborhood. They went on to criticize the Mayor’s slow response to release information, including the officer’s name, throughout the week.

As this situation continues to escalate, rumors began to swirl on social media that Lightfoot was actually preparing to resign–but not for the reason everyone was hoping. That’s when allegations of infidelity in the Mayor’s marriage came to light.

Rumors circulating around the internet allege Lightfoot cheated on her wife, Amy Eshleman, in Elmhurst at a hotel paid for by the city. This rumor goes on to state that the girl’s boyfriend was caught with a gun, after which she called the Mayor and told her to take care of it, or she would go public with their alleged affair.

When Eshleman allegedly found out, she fought with Lightfoot, causing their daughter to tell police about the incident.

At this point, these are all just rumors.

A public statement on the matter has yet to be released.

This all started when Chicago civil rights advocate Ja’Mal Green posted a tweet saying, “Lori Lightfoot is resigning tomorrow in a stunning end to her mayorship. WOW.” He deleted it shortly after.

He followed it up with another tweet, alluding to the idea that Mayor Lightfoot should have issued a statement already if the rumors weren’t true.

“If something isn’t true, simply put out a statement and kill the rumor,” he wrote. “We all hope the resignation is true but the reason should be one of your former scandals. Anjanette Young, demonizing Adam Toledo, these are good reasons too..”

Former United States Secretary of Education, who also previously served as CEO of the Chicago Public Schools, Arne Duncan followed up with a cryptic tweet late Saturday evening, writing, “Chicago, will see what tomorrow brings…”
