But Marrero's not laughing. In fact, she may be suing.

"Instead of laughing, they should have said, 'Is she OK?' and been down there right away to check on me," she told Reading Eagle in her first interview since the video went viral. Marrero says security didn't respond until 20 minutes later, at which point she had already left the mall.

"We are troubled by the fact that anyone at the Berkshire Mall responsible for releasing this video would find humor in an employee injured on the premises," Polyak said. "We intend to hold the appropriate persons responsible.
"No one from that security office came to her aid in a timely manner."

Revealed: The 'mortified' texting shopper who fell in mall fountain... and now she's suing the security guards who laughed at her

But the 49-year-old, revealing her identity for the first time, says she doesn't find the video very funny and plans to take the mall in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania to court after accusing staff of laughing instead of helping her out of the water.

...

‘My issue is I don't think security was professional because they didn't send anyone to check on me until 20 minutes later and I had already left,’ she told the Reading Eagle.

...

One of the housekeeping workers then walked up to Ms Marrero to see if she was hurt.
The security guard said: 'Paedro asked her if she is all right and she said: "Yes - I'm just a little wet."'

Good old America. Cases like this are why we need the 'loser pays the court fees' system used elsewhere.

Is there some proof that they watched this live and refused to help her? Besides, what exactly was the danger here? Could she not swim in 1 foot of water?

She is suing? For her own stupidity, she is suing the mall? Wow.

Oh her stupidity doesn't stop there. The video would have been forgotten within a week since no one knew who she was.

Instead, her outrage and humiliation was so great that she made sure to scream "that's me and I deserve to fall in again" by putting her name out there publicly.

She'll have a reality show in a month and then who will be laughing?

The sad thing is that she'll most likely win...

EDIT: Just watched the video...she immediately got up and was clearly not hurt at all. There was no need for anyone to "check on her". Fuck her. I hope she does sue and get laughed at by the jury. No way she wins anything...

In watching the video it's almost as if they are watching the tapes back. Someone asked when it happened and they said "Today at 4:20"... You know, if she wasn't so fascinated with what was going on with her cell phone, this would have never happened. It was her fault it happened, and nothing will come of this. The judge might even laugh at her as well.

Perhaps the judge will release those tapes as well.
