‘It’s Trashy!’: White Stranger Shames Black Women for What They’re Wearing and Gets Put on Blast, Video Shows

A woman in Napa Valley is going viral after a video shows her confronting two other women at a Napa Valley wine tasting event over their wardrobe choices.

The footage only shows a glimpse of one of the other women who is being berated for her attire. It appears that the woman, who is Black, is wearing a low-cut mini dress.

The video, which was posted on the Reddit page r/TikTokCringe, starts off with the white woman, who the poster has labeled a “Karen,” explaining that she was trying to inform the other two that they “have a bunch of skin out.”

She then denies being hostile, but added, “You guys’ butts are hanging out and everyone’s walking by.”

However, the two women argued that her tone off-camera was different from what she’s relaying now.

“Whatever you want to perceive,” the disgusted woman says as a man tries to pull her away. “It’s just very trashy!”

“It ain’t nothing trashy!” one of the women replies.

As the white woman walks away, one of the Black women goes into a rant about the cost of her clothes and accessories.

“You talking about something being trashy. My purse costs more than yours. My watch costs more than yours. Like what are you talking about? There’s nothing trashy,” she says.

Many viewers agreed that it was inappropriate for the white woman to approach the other two women about their attire. Still, they also decided the women should not have worn revealing clothes, even without seeing both of them in the video.

“Two things are true. The lady didn’t have to approach these Women about their wardrobe. And their asses probably were hanging out,” one viewer wrote.

“Eh…I think the dress is too revealing for a daytime wine tasting; however miss imma expose my boobs as well in a paririe dress needs to take a seat and shaddup. It is simply not her business,” another viewer wrote.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
