Knicks Fan Reds Punch Speaks Out After Viral Light Pole Brawl
According to Reds, she attended the Knicks parade last week and wanted to get a photo of herself on a light pole. Once up on the pole, Reds says the woman who was sitting underneath began calling her a “fat Black b****h.”
“I think that she could’ve been [racist], but I feel like the way that my spirit is was very intimidating. So she had to bring out everything that she could possibly bring out to intimidate me,” Reds told Carter. “I feel like she was intimidated by my presence.”
Reds explained that the woman pulling her leg led her to believe she was in danger of losing her balance and falling.
“…She pulled me, and I almost lost my footing, and she already pushed my leg when I actually tried to get down with one shoe and a sock, so what is she going to do if I still have my hands [up] and I still have her sitting there?” Reds recalled.
