A Ohio Mother Two speaks after receiving vicious death threats, both directly and on social media about a viral video that has ensured that some people have smearing her as’ racist ‘, which she says it is completely incorrect and the result of a’ Very misunderstanding ‘.
Michelle Bishop spoke with Fox News Digital about the situation with her neighbor, Damichael Jenkins, who placed ring camons of her in a panic at his door, in the conviction that she was inappropriate followed by Jenkins and did not believe he lived in his claim that he was pulled into the house where he had been pulled.
The exchange has become viral on social media, with news items labeling As a “karen” who assumed that Jenkins was a threat, simply because of his race, that Bishop violently disputes.

Bishop then explained that she brought her children to the sidewalk, but that the car did not pass her “in time” and that the driver started asking her questions.
“I didn’t answer, I walked in – I said to my daughter,” Walk up this driveway, turn here, don’t look back to the truck, “and so we went up the driveway, ended up on the porch, was the doorbell called , “Bishop said.
“Nobody replied at that time. The truck went backwards in the driveway. He stayed in his truck. I couldn’t see him and I look at the driveway at that point and I said: ‘Is this you at home? “And he said,” Yes. I was completely panicked and only tried to protect my children. “
Bisschop had actually tried to seek shelter in the house that belonged to Jenkins, and the images of the ring doorbells conquer her tell Jenkins that she does not believe he lives there before he walks to another nearby house and screamed for help.
Images of later shows Bisschop told Jenkins that he had made ‘the nonsense’ out of her and that she was ‘overwhelmed’. Jenkins told Bishop that he did not follow her and just admired Christmas lighting.

Bisschop tells Fox News Digital that she has often apologized, which the Jenkins family would not accept, and thought the problem was solved until the video was placed on a local Facebook group in the neighborhood and was eventually picked up by the media, Which caused a fire storm of hateful messages to get her away as a racist.
“It causes enormous destruction for our family in all the ways you might think, “she said.” Our family, our companies. We currently receive hundreds in our direct messages, if not thousands, of threats, to our telephones, voicemails that call in stores. But some of the threats we have received have become death threats. “
“You and your children deserve to die slowly and you should kill yourself, otherwise it will be done for you,” Bishop was told in one message.
“We know who you are and where you live. Your husband comes home to be a single father. You should be hung in public,” said another message.
“There are several who are very graphic and violent with regard to our children I don’t want to share here,” she added. “Our companies have seen enormous destruction, one of them must close temporarily because of the death threats, calling our store and say they are going to kill every last of the employees. So it influences us in massive ways.”

Social media are littered with messages that Bishop call ‘racist’, including a message that said: “Michelle Bishop … Count your F — ING Days.”
Jenkins, a real estate developer, went on the podcast “Koop” with former NFL stars Shannon Sharpe and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson earlier this week, a show with more than 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube, and accused Bishop of Racial Profiling despite her claims that she knew the Jenkins race during the interaction was not.
Bishop told Fox News Digital that she “absolutely” did not know that Jenkin’s black was black and that she even told the neighbor in the house that she ran to when she panicked that the person might be white.
“The headlights stood behind me and then the first time I looked at his truck in the driveway, the headlights were there and I didn’t try to look at him specifically, “said Bishop.” I spoke to the situation. I definitely didn’t know what he looked like. Like I said, I thought he was a young white man. It was all a huge misunderstanding. That’s all it was. “
Bishop has received some support on social media from prominent conservative accounts, including those of commentator and author Matt Walsh.
“I am too late here, but of course the mobs of the internet is completely wrong,” Walsh Posted on X. “The woman saw a truck slowly following her. She panicked over the truck before she ever saw who was in it. Later that night she came back and apologized for the mistake.”

Walsh continued: “That should have been the end. No harm, no mistake, no one was injured. An innocent mistake. Instead, this man decides to put the images online and to be ashamed of her. And not surprisingly a bunch of drooling Idiots on social media did not critical and continue to tear the life of this woman, everyone.
Bishop told Fox News Digital that she hopes to reconcile herself with the Jenkins family.
“I believe that a love can cover a multitude of things and what happened that night was a huge misunderstanding, “she said.” We are enthusiasts of all people, and if I got the chance, as I said, I believe that forgiveness should be given to everyone, and I would like to sit with them. “
“I think what happened that night was a huge misunderstanding,” Bishop continued. “I hold their hearts, hear their perspective on things. I have never been in their shoes. I don’t know what they are standing against. I can’t talk to that. So hearing their point of view and how he felt, I understand That was really a huge misunderstanding.
Jenkins did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comments.
