Poolside Karen aka Blair Featherman captured on video berating Latino family by Lakewood apartment complex speaks out, insists video was edited to make her look like a racist and that she is the real victim.
‘I’m the real victim!’ A bikini donned woman filmed launching a racially charged tirade against a Latino family near the pool of a Lakewood, Colorado apartment complex has claimed not being the racist that she has ‘been portrayed’ to be along with insisting that she was the one who was initially attacked by the group.
In her first public comments since footage of her amazing outburst emerging online, Poolside Karen aka Blair Featherman, 49, told the Daily Mail that she is not racist and that the clip posted on TikTok was edited to make it appear as if she was.
Featherman was filmed calling the family ‘trash’ and ‘low class’ for having a pool party around the Fourth of July.
@jadeserie According to this karen all mexicans are low class. I hope this video is found by her coworkers, family and friends. Acting like this at family BBQ with children is absolutely disgusting. #VozDosCriadores #casamigos #karensgoingwild #karensoftiktok #karens ♬ Party – Bad Bunny & Rauw Alejandro
‘You have a f–king Mexican party in a pool,’
‘I have been trying to stay silent and not comment about this, but there are things the video doesn’t show,’ the art consultant told the tabloid.
‘I’m not a racist,’ she added. ‘It was deceptively edited and put together to tell a narrative that isn’t true.’
Footage of Featherman’s rant at the Alta Green Mountain apartment complex shows her directing verbal insults toward the group.
‘You have a f–king Mexican party in a pool,’ the woman is heard saying in the video. ‘Trash.’
Upon our collective hero realizing she was being recorded, Featherman appeared to grab the phone away, insisting, ‘You can’t do that. You can’t just record me.’
‘I was having a bad day then the auto thing in my head s-snapped’
Video then skips to her on a lounge chair as she continues to argue with the family.
She called them ‘low class’ and told them to go back to Denver before later shouting, ‘you’re nasty, you smell.’
Featherman told the Daily Mail she was criticized by the group first after complaining they were breaking the complex’s rules because the resident had too many guests at the pool.
She admitted she should’ve kept cool rather than unleash her tirade.
At one point, members of the group started calling her ‘white b—h and white this and white that,’ she reportedly claimed.
‘I was already having a bad day,’ Featherman said. ‘But this was too much.’
Hand me a violin kids. Life is trouble. Needs to be more picture perfect. Smell rosy and never inconvenient or jarring to my senses of propriety.
‘Can’t we all just get along?’
Featherman claimed when she reached for the phone that was recording her, the group reciprocated by fighting back, with one woman pulling her hair so forcefully that her artificial nail broke off.
Life is trouble Blair. Often unfair and to hell with having my nails torn off!
That alleged part of the confrontation was not shown in the TikTok video uploaded by the account name Jade Serie according to Blair.
When she continued to argue with the group on one of the lounge chairs, Featherman said she couldn’t think straight at the time.
Blair I stopped thinking straight when I got trapped in the ice age. But somehow I prevailed in finding my wits. Have you seen what they did to my nails?!
Continued our collective hero: ‘I couldn’t believe what just happened, my heart was racing, and I was so full of adrenaline.’
So were we Blair. To the utmost. So many responses on social media that left us all gushing!
The Lakewood Police Department is understood to have previously responded to the fracas. To date no criminal charges have been filed.
Kids, can’t we just all get along? We’re really not all that different as we sometimes think we are…
