FRESNO, California (KFSN) -- Earlier this week ABC30 showed you video of a woman who mistakenly fell into the fountain at a Pennsylvania mall, because she was distracted by text messaging. Well now that woman is suing the mall for not helping her.

The video has received more than 1.5 million views since it went viral on YouTube last week. The woman in the video, Cathy Cruz Marrero, doesn't think the video is very funny. She claims she could have gotten seriously hurt and that the security guards should have helped instead of laugh.

"I'm just like dumbfounded. And all I kept saying was, 'I fell. I fell. I fell in the fountain. I fell in the fountain.'"

Marrero has hired a lawyer to pursue legal action. The investigation is ongoing at the mall as to who leaked the video online.

I don’t think she can even sit on the throne & read at the same time.
Sure glad I never hired anyone like her.

And in order to defend her privacy she files a lawsuit so that all of America will know that Cathy Cruz Marrero is the pinhead who walked into the fountain while texting.”

She is dumber even that that!!!

Another thread says that she was charged in court today with a felony for using someone else’s credit cards to buy things for herself. Happened in 2009. Perhaps they were looking for her all this time???
