• Media outlets and others scrambled this week after a white pregnant woman was widely vilified on social media as a racist after a video went viral of a confrontation over a bike, and the woman’s lawyer has said they plan to file defamation lawsuits.
• Since the video went viral, garnering more than 40 million views, the woman, Sarah Comrie, was placed on leave from Bellevue Hospital, where she worked.
• A lawyer for Comrie has since produced receipts he says shows that she paid for the bike, which contradicts the widely circulated claim that she “stole” the bike from the group.
