A TV reporter was caught on camera unleashing a profane tirade on a police officer.

The incident unfolded outside of the Helium comedy club in Philadelphia on the evening of June 4. New York comedian Wil Sylvince recorded PHL 17 reporter Colleen Campbell and the aftermath of her being removed from the club. Sylvince wrote on Facebook:


About last night: this very obnoxious lady, who wasn’t drunk (nor high I think) was disturbing the show with her “loud whispering”. After 3 warnings and other customers were complaining she was asked to leave.

When she got kicked out she assaulted (kicking, punching, and eye poking) 3 of the employees in bar area right outside the showroom and then outside she mock spit in the mangers face when a cop came.

She verbally abused this poor cop who was trying to keep the peace at first.

The show was great though! Love me some Philly! Thank you

After Campbell was ejected from the club, a cop walked over to the situation. Campbell calls the cop “a fucking piece of shit” and then says:


You’re fucking cock suckers. I did not do shit, I stood there and laughed like the rest of the audience like I should. I did not disrupt anybody.

The man who is with Campbell tries to calm the situation, and the officer tells the man that he just wants the couple to go. That prompted Campbell to start up again:


Or what? Or what, motherfucker? Lick my asshole. How about that? Fucking piece of shit. That’s why nobody likes fucking police… idiots in this fucking town.

When Campbell looks as though she’s about to spit in the face of a club employee, the cop slaps the cuffs on. Campbell tells the cops that she works for a news organization and that “no wonder everyone wants to blow [cops’] fucking heads off.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Campbell will appear in court on June 13 to answer to charges of resisting arrest, criminal mischief and disorderly conduct.

A spokeswoman for Campbell’s former employer, PHL 17, told the Inquirer, “Colleen Campbell is no longer employed by PHL17.”

As we told you on Monday, Sunday night was pretty rough for 28-year-old Temple grad Colleen Campbell, who started working as a reporter for PHL 17 in 2016. The South Philly resident got arrested after becoming positively unhinged and going off on a cop outside Helium Comedy Club, as documented in a bystander video that already has well over 1 million views. Before deleting her social media accounts, Campbell took to Facebook, stating that she’d had only one drink and suggesting that she might have been drugged. We got her on the phone to get her side of the story.

The video of you outside Helium has been viewed more than 1 million times. People are pretty shocked by it.
That’s not me or how I talk or act or anything at all. I don’t know what to do. I feel ruined and embarrassed for me and my family.

I saw your Facebook post where you raised the possibility of having been drugged. Were they able to do any tests to see what might have been in your system?
No. The police told me that it would slow the process. But at the police station, they had trouble taking my blood pressure. It was so high. I was worked up.

Why would it have slowed the process?
The nurse [at the police station] said if I send you to the hospital it will really delay everything. I just wanted to get out of there. I was really worried about my job. She gave me something similar to a Benadryl. Then later I woke up and had a panic attack. I never thought to get any test done.

Why do you think you were drugged?
Everything was foggy. I do remember coming in to Helium. I do remember getting into an altercation there, but I don’t remember what it was about. I only had two drinks at Helium.

On Facebook, you said you’d had one drink. Were you drinking prior to the two drinks at Helium?
Yes, I was working at Devil’s Den. I bartend there. And then we went to Cantina for a margarita, and I had two shots. But that was an hour before. Then we went to Helium, waited in line, got our drinks. I don’t even remember going out to the lobby. I do remember getting into the cop car.

Is there anything you’d like to say to the cop and the other people you acted out against in that video?
I feel awful. That’s not me or how I speak or how I talk or how I was raised. I had to delete all my social media, because I’m getting threats.

How about the cop? He really deserves a medal for the way he handled the situation.
I wanna apologize to the officer. I don’t remember the whole altercation at all. I remember feeling attacked. I would never talk like that. It was like watching a whole different me.

Given that you had at least five drinks, do you think it’s possible that your body was just reacting to the alcohol in your bloodstream?
I really don’t know. I don’t know what to think. I know my limits. I’m a bartender. I didn’t feel wasted walking in.

I saw that PHL 17 removed most if not all references to you from their website. Are you out of a job?
When I came home, I called my producer to talk about why I was absent. I didn’t realize a video was out. I found out about it later, because HR called me and said I was being terminated. They said there’s a video. I said, “What video?”

You nasty old cunt.. Drugged or not, that's whats under your surface..

[Pony]

I love how "one drink" turns into at least three drinks and two shots. I'm betting in reality it was more.

[deebakes]

it's not her fault :hand:
