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.

OMG!! ALAILA IS BLACK!!
It was definitely on purpose.
I know huh? I naturally assumed the attacker would be Pacific Islander or Eskimo for sure. People sure are full of surprises!
Have I been to track meets? Ah, no. I find zero, zip, no excitement from people running in circles. Now if they start throwing javelins at people in the audience, let me know.
To add more excitement to the sport, they should use a sticks of dynamite instead of a batons. Put a long fuse on it and really get those runners motivated and moving.
A rubber baton? Oh boy.
I didn’t think this warranted a separate post:
Lip reader reveals what track star said as she bashed rival in the head in viral race
The gal who did the hitting is a LIAR and the media is no help at all for the victim they label ‘allegedly injured.’
Accident my a&$. My arm just overreacted at the time. Went way back and hit someone. Ghettos are going to Ghetto
Just the test case for all the DEI Biden judges. More of this to come just like BLM police abuse this is the next wave. Black crime desensitization.
LOL. The baton just got stuck and then next thing I knew, the baton was just hitting her in the head!
She was cleaning her baton when it suddenly went off.
