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.

This is one where I would love to defend the mall in Court.

If I were that stupid I sure wouldn't want the whole world to know.
That's a level of stupidity to which I can only aspire.

I have no doubt she found a lawyer to take the case but Please let a judge throw it out.
This is the state of Pa though so who knows.
What a complete idiot she is

What?
Are you saying that she should be held culpable for her own stupid decisions?
What are you, some kind of heartless conservative?

She must be a liberal. The very idea of texting, not paying any attention to where your going, fall into a fountain and then sue. I hope the judge laughs her out of the courtroom.

pockets+lawyer=settlement.
To: henkster
Well your honor, my client is an idiot and as an idiot she expects reasonable attempts by the mall to protect her from her own stupidity.

I think any lawyer that would help her bring such a suit should be disbarred.

She's suing because the mall should have had a full time lifeguard for morons at he fountain.
