The mother-of-two from the viral video that shows her repeatedly calling a black man the N-word after some type of exchange has addressed her side of the story.
In an interview with Todd Anderson from WBLK, a local New York radio station, Janelle Ambrosia had listeners hear her side of the story. After explaining to the radio host that the black man behind the camera allegedly nearly hit her son with his car, prompting her vicious attack, she asserted that she doesn’t harbor any hateful feelings towards black people because she actually has a black family member.

“I am not a racist,” Ambrosia says. “I have a black cousin.”
She also adds a mental health issue to her reasoning, saying, “He just pissed me off. I’m bipolar.”
She also proceeds to give a vocabulary lesson in which she says that the n-word isn’t a racist term.
“Quite frankly if you look it up, n-word means an ignorant person. It has nothing to do with race,” she says.
