On July 4th weekend, a video went viral of a white woman in a Lakewood, Colorado apartment complex harassing a Latino family. After she was dragged on the internet, the culpritβwho has been identified as Blair Feathermanβspoke out in an interview Tuesday in an attempt to justify her raggedy behavior.
Featherman claims she was by sitting in the complexβs pool area when she saw some folks that she didnβt recognize. βWe noticed a party gathering on the other side of the pool and it was getting bigger and bigger and bigger,β Featherman said in an interview with Inside Edition.

She stated that she was concerned about her safety. βPeople try and wait for the gate to open and come in, and stay all day,β she explained. Of courseβin typical white woman fashionβshe decided to take things into her own hands. Featherman and her boyfriend allegedly asked one of the partygoers to see their key fob.
βI think he said βno,β and we were like, βweβll just call security,ββ Featherman stated. She left out the part where she screamed at the group: βYes, itβs true. You have a f**king Mexican party in a pool. Trash.β In the footage, she also commented βget the f**k outβ and βgo back down to Denver.β
Instead, Featherman tells a story of her being assaulted after walking back to her lounge chair on the other side of the pool. βThey swarmed over like a swarm of bees, it was very fast,β Featherman recalled. βI got pushed first by a man, and then the women jumped on me.β
She said the viral clip was recorded after fake fingernails were left in her hair from the assault. βThey ripped off in my head when they were attacking me. Iβm running around looking for my phone. 9-1-1 is being called, I see this girl recording me, so I grabbed it. But then I gave it back 5 minutes later.β
Of course, when her racist remarks from the video are addressed, Featherman skirted around taking full accountability. βAbsolutely not,β Featherman replied when asked if sheβs racist. Featherman continued: βI completely apologize for saying what I did about the pool party.β
Even though the interview was supposed to drum up sympathy, Feathermanβs actions arenβt justifiable by any means. Hopefully, this is the last time she speaks out the incident.
