A woman from Colorado, Ersilia Campbell, has been facing massive backlash because of a viral video floating on social media, where the woman can be seen walking in Target with dark-colored makeup smeared all over her face. Not just this, throughout the video, she had been heard ranting about “whiteface” and politics.
When the employee who took the video tried to capture her, she verbally attacked him and also compared herself to the NBC Journalist Lester Holt, who is a Black person dressed up as Susan Boyle, a British singer more than 10 years ago. She said:
“Lester Holt did ‘whiteface’, and nobody said sh*t.”
In the video, the woman can be seen asking for the Pride section, however, the employee responded by stating that the Pride month was over.
Ersilia Campbell then alleged and yelled that the “LGBTQ community had hijacked the American flag with the Pride flag.” She soon claimed that she doesn’t shop at Target and ventured out.
Her behavior soon became the talk of the town, and people on the internet started bashing Ersilia Campbell. One social media user also commented on a Twitter user, TizzyEnt’s video and said:
