Ijeoma created a GoFundMe account after she was harassed by Abigal.

“I am a Black Muslimah Nigerian AM and I was treated like it was 1920 in Short Hills Mall. I was assaulted and harassed by a white woman and nothing was done by security nor the police. I’m looking to hire an excellent attorney who can help me bring light to this wrong. ” She wrote.

She also said her TikTok account was deleted having she shared a video of the incident. ” I was kicked off a TikTok for posting what happened to me and they let someone else post and get millions and millions of views however they deleted 2 of my accounts. One that I have for my Garden which was my original account and another 1 that I created after they deleted my main account. ” She added.

Twitter reacts to Abigail Elphick video

There have been several reactions on Twitter after the video went viral. “It’s the screaming of “get away from me!” while chasing after the women that had me,” A user wrote.

Another wrote: “But the question is what really happened before the woman w the camera started shooting? That “Karen” definitely seems to be in distress, what caused that? Always three sides to the story”

Another said: “Just sickening. The woman needs to be seen by someone in mental health. Watching her chase while screeching “get her away from me” was a strange and stressful thing to watch.”

“And still their first response is to go to the black woman and ask her to stop recording. Are you f__ing kidding me? Where in this world can a black person go without having to defend every aspect of their right to exist? I’m too outdone!!!!” Another said.

A lady wrote: “I honestly believe they react like this after being caught now only because their lives can be ruined through social media after the fact but they want as much sympathy as possible in that moment lmao”
