#Viral VIDEO: White woman who harasses black man in his own building & was later fired speaks out

A white woman who was filmed blocking a black man from entering the St. Louis loft building where they live has denied that she is racist and says she was concerned for her safety.

Hilary Brooke Thornton, 32, was fired from her job as a realtor after footage of her confronting D'Arreion Toles at their luxury condo building in Missouri City went viral. Toles said he was coming home from work on Friday night when Thornton physically blocked him from entering. The 24-year-old filmed the incident as Thornton, who was holding a glittery phone and her dog on a leash, demanded to know what apartment he lived in. Thornton has now spoken out about the ordeal, telling DailyMailTV's affiliate Fox2 that her neighbor didn't have an electronic key fob and forced his way inside. She said she had the front door cracked to let her dog use the bathroom when Toles approached and tried to get into the building.
Thornton claims she was only following the condo board's instructions to not allow strangers inside when she repeatedly asked whether he lived there.
'I simply asked if he lived there because the direction from the association is… that if you don't know the person, you don't let them in,' she said. Thornton said she told Toles she couldn't let him in and asked if he had a security key fob. 'It's the only indicator any resident has that they live in the building and he wouldn't answer me. He would not show me one,' she said.
In the video, Toles can be heard saying: 'You're blocking me into my building, it's my building as well, so can you just get out of my way. I live here and your blocking my way. I've already buzzed in.' Thornton, who says she's been getting death threats since the video went viral, has denied she is racist. 'That's false and heartbreaking. Those are words that cut deep,' she said of the claims she is racist.
