The altercation allegedly happened after the hotel staff served the black man, who is a diamond member at Hilton first before the woman and her partner

A video showing a white woman attacking a Black man at the Hilton Hotel in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil has gone viral. It has been viewed over 800,000 times, liked 15,000 times, and retweeted over 5,000 times since it was posted on New Year's Day. The incident allegedly happened after Hilton staff served the Black man first, because he's a Diamond member, before the white woman and her partner. 

A Twitter user named King posted the racist video and wrote, "Watch till the end, drunk racist man and woman mad because he's Gold or Diamond Hilton member and therefore gets service before everyone else. Hotel staff just sitting by and letting the racist woman do whatever, mind you she already touched him prior". In another tweet, King also said, "Still no response from @HiltonHotels and wrote to them so obviously they condone this behavior."

One user @slyfoxnyc, claiming to be the black man who was attacked by the white woman, commented under the video, "Can you please send the video to me so I can send to Hilton headquarters, because of this security failure, the couple had the police waiting outside looking for me for hours. I couldn't stay at the hotel that night because they lied saying I attacked them. Thanks for recording." 

The video footage shows the black man standing by the reception desk separated from the white couple by four hotel security guards. King can be heard saying, "Y'all haven't de-escalated the situation because she's still right there talking." Referring to the white woman, King said, "Y'all supposed to separate the party."

After arguing for a while, the white woman broke apart from the staff and attacked the black man by wrapping her hands around his head and pulling him away from the reception desk. The black man can be seen trying to break free from the hold of the white woman, then he punched the white man, who fell to the ground and seemed to be knocked out. 

The security guard's efforts to subdue the white woman didn't seem to work and she came back, pulling herself out of the guard's grips. She tried attacking him again, but security guards pulled her away. Though, the black man walked away without saying anything. King, the guy who took the video can be heard saying, "Where is y'all's security?". "Get her under control. Oh my god!. I don't understand this. This is crazy."

One Twitter user wrote, "Stay away from drunk damsels" while another wrote, "High spirited little woman." "On a lighter note, ANOTHER KAREN. lol," said one user while another user commented, "Why is it taking so long to restrain Karen?? If it would have been the black man acting this way, he would have been pinned down already. Smh! I salute you, Black King for keeping your composure and thank you gentleman for recording."

"This is what happens when you feel entitled and mind someone else's business. Hope those entitled fools learned to mind their business," wrote another. Commenting on the check the white woman signed, one Twitter user wrote, "She wrote a check that her man couldn't cash."
