Drunk woman from racists Mothers Day video fined £220

One of the women who were involved in a video that showed them racially abusing a doorman has escaped with a £220 fine.

The footage showed Carly Williams, drug 21, shouting at Rubber Soul door supervisor David Mensah when it was posted online in March.

She was today handed a fine by magistrates today after admitting racially aggravated threatening behaviour.

Two other women who were filmed during the incident have also been fined.

The court today decided against imposing a sterner sentence after it heard that Willians had been “prosecuted and persecuted” following the video.

The video has been watch over one million times.

Williams’ lawyer insisted his client was “not a racist person.”

He said: “I can’t stand here and tell you the language that you have heard was not the foulest, most disrespectful, most abhorrent language. But is my client a racist person? No, she is not.”

Mr Fielding said members of Williams’ extended family were of mixed race and now had “nothing to do with her” as a result of the video.

He said that she would “never be free” of the shameful incident.

Williams’ aunt Elaine Hughes,and their friend Paula Martindale also pleaded guilty to racially aggravated threatening behaviour and also received the same fine.

A third woman ,Lois Martindale, has pleaded not guilty to racially aggravated threatening behaviour and will stand trial before magistrates on July 8.
