(KRON) — A video on TikTok has been viewed more than 1 million times, showing a woman in Healdsburg directing a racial slur at two Black men.

On Thursday, the two men were busy moving furniture in the North Bay, when they were confronted by a woman upset that their delivery truck was blocking her driveway. They agreed to move their truck but were still called a racial slur.

From the start of this encounter, mover Keonta Gilmer says things were heated. In the video, a woman confronts the mover hauling furniture, saying she can’t get out of her house because of his moving truck.

She appears upset, even though he says he agreed to move the truck for her.

“It was just constant ‘F-yous’ and then expletives and slurs. It started left and it stayed left,” said Gilmer.

The video posted on TikTok shows the woman walking back to her car. Gilmer’s business partner asks for kindness and is instead met with a racial slur.

“That being in your vernacular, like you said for it to slip out so fast it just shows it’s common for you,” said Gilmer. “It wasn’t a slipout, you didn’t feel bad for it. It didn’t take a lot out of you to say it.”

The video has been viewed on TikTok 1.9 million times, with more than 200,000 likes.

In the comments, people recognized the woman by name, however, KRON4 has not officially confirmed that. She even direct messaged the TikTok account that posted the video ,asking for it to be taken down.

“Was a point where she reached out to my partner ‘hey, take this video down, it’s going to ruin my life,'” said Gilmer. “Another follow-up with a cease and assist, like a demand. A poorly written one on top of that.”

He says the response shows that the woman isn’t sorry for her actions, only that she was caught.

“Unfortunately for me, it’s not the first interaction I’ve ever had where I’ve been called this slur or this word or dealt with situations like this,” Gilmer said, “but this is the first time somebody has been held accountable for that.”

KRON 4 attempted to reach out to the woman for comment, but phone calls went unanswered, and her social media accounts appear to all be deleted.
