Unidentified girl slaps a “mother” in viral video
The video that everyone’s been talking about sees a young person dressed in beige pants and a black hoodie. The person is seen standing outside the door of an apartment. On the other side is an older woman.
As soon as the video begins, the young individual looks at the camera and says “It’s your mother right,” and proceeds to slap the older woman hard on her face. Her blows are so hard. The older woman who is in utter disbelief says “Are you serious?” The young person then says, “Stop playing with me,” before slapping the woman again. She says “Stop f*king playing with me” before slapping her for the third time. It seems like the person is making the video for someone they want to take revenge on. There is another individual holding the phone upright to record.
The video has left internet users jarred. Many expressed their anger when it first surfaced online. Several people took to Twitter and Reddit to blast the person slapping the older woman in the clip.
Myth says “America Williams” was “shot 15 times” for smacking the mother
Many internet users think the young person in the video is a girl named America Williams. It’s unclear how so many netizens across various platforms like Twitter, Reddit, and even TikTok have come to this conclusion.
Moreover, multiple theories and myths about the incident have surfaced online. The most popular one claims that the “girl” in the video aka America Williams was shot 15 times and killed months after the smacking incident.
Another popular theory about the video says that it was about beef between two girls who worked for a rival gang. The same theory also claims that the person doing the slapping was killed within 24 hours.
A third theory says that the “girl” in the video was slapping the mother of her ex who had cheated on her. This theory says that the girl was shot dead at her apartment merely three days later.
No. The two girls were in different gangs. The girl doing the slapping was killed in less than 24 hours after the video.
The woman getting slapped is the mother of the rival gang girl. The gang girl was not living at the home with her mother.
