The track star seen hitting her opponent in the head with a baton in a shocking incident has remarkably claimed it was an accident.
The indoor track championships in Virginia were marred when Alaila Everett was seen striking Kaelen Tucker during the 4x200m relay event of the VSHL Class 3 State Indoor Championships.
Tucker was running the second leg of the relay for Lynchburg's Brookville High School when she passed Tucker of I.C. Norcom High School on the outside.
Everett, who claimed she has since been on the receiving end of death threats and racial slurs, broke down in tears as she gave her version of events on the viral incident.
She told Wavy.com: 'I know my intentions and I would never hit someone on purpose.'
She added: 'After a couple times of hitting her, my baton got stuck behind her back like this, and it rolled up her back. I lost my balance and, when I pumped my arms again, she got hit.'
Everett insisted there is more to her - and the incident - than first appears in the short clip. 'They are assuming my character, calling me ghetto and racial slurs, death threats,' she said. 'All of this off of a nine-second video.'
She added: 'Everybody has feelings, so you’re physically hurt, but you’re not thinking of my mental (health).
Gasps were heard inside the Liberty Indoor Track Complex as Tucker stumbled and then fell to the ground.

So, I think the runner who clubbed the other runner in the back of the head with a metal rod is the real victim here?
The attacker is claiming victimhood. Give me a break.
Sorry ... not buying it. I watched the video and it looks very purposeful.
BS!
Nope.
Has she - or anyone else, ever - swung a baton like that when there wasn’t a competitor right in front, because they lost their balance (or whatever)? I don’t think so.
Rule #1 for when you find yourself in a hole.....stop digging.
Rule #2.....see rule #1.
You thought it was a track meet. Apparently it is the Victim Olympics.
She’s lying from what I see on the video. She got passed, pulled her hand back and wailed on her. Notice the comments from her, at least in this article, were all about her. Nothing about feeling bad for the girl she attacked and put in the hospital. If it was an accident, would not a normal person be beside themselves for the harm done to the other person?
IOW the video is lying
Accident my ass. She pulled her arm back higher before landing repeated head blows with the baton.
Would be interesting if high-res video could be located that showed where she was looking. If she were losing her balance, she’d be looking at the ground, but if this were an attack, she’d be looking towards the strike point.
“Everett, who claimed she has since been on the receiving end of death threats and racial slurs...”
No proof of that as usual of course.
Calling her ghetto would be a compliment.
That did not look like an accident. At best, it was second degree assault.
Yes, it does. She swung her arm way up to be able to hit the other gal.
And a baton is hollow aluminum. For it to do that kind of damage she had to have tried hard to do that kind of damage.
Yep. A carefully scripted denial, crafted by her lawyers.
Ain’t gonna work. The video is quite clear. Thuggery on display.
Maybe she’ll get to reconsider her actions during a jail stay. I certainly hope so.
Alaila Everett oughta pitch that cockamamie ghetto story to Netflix.
The video CLEARLY shows her victim card has expired.
Racial slurs? I’m confused. Her victim is the same ethnicity as her (as far as I can tell). Or maybe the racial slurs just started after the attack?
