White Woman Seen In Viral Video Saying She Would “Kill A N**ger” Is Identified

The woman in a viral video that went on a racist rant in a CVS pharmacy has been identified as California resident Heather Lynn Patton.

In the video, which you can watch a censored version below provided by CBS Los Angeles, Patton is seen in the entrance of the CVS Pharmacy on Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock, Los Angeles, according to witnesses. She is jumping up and down and yelling, “I hate n*ggers,” as the woman who recorded it begins filming.

The incident occurred on September 24, 2019 and a witness said there was no build-up or altercation before the rant.

After it was posted on Facebook, several influential social media personalities begin asking for help to identify the woman.

Heather Patton’s neighbors identified her as the woman in the video and Heavy confirmed her identity through public records.

According to IMDB, Patton is a 49-year-old Los Angeles resident who works in the TV and movie industry as a costume designer, wardrobe assistant, costumer and in various other film crew roles.

She has worked on films like The Quarry, Winter Solstice, Walk This Way, Epic Movie, Paterson, and TV shows such as Private Practice, Medium, Rescue Me, and The Americans.

She’s a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and is married.

According to court records, Patton had been issued two restraining orders by her neighbors in Mount Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles but she doesn’t have a criminal record.

Both of the restraining orders were issued in April 2017. Details of the incident and alleged harassment that led up to the orders being granted were not immediately available.

Her neighbor told KTLA-TV that Patton, has a long history of erratic, unstable behavior and making violent threats to him and his family.

Patton does not appear to have a criminal record.

It is not yet clear if the Los Angeles Police Department responded to the CVS after the incident or if a 911 call was made to the LAPD.

We would hope by now that authorities are investigating this woman.
