Blair Featherman, the White woman who launched a vile racist attack on a Latino family at a Colorado apartment complex, filed for bankruptcy in 2019.
The surprising report sheds more light on the 49-year-old mother of two whom the internet has dubbed “Poolside Karen” after her shocking racist rant was caught on video.
The incident occurred on Friday, and if a man from her own party had not held her down, things could have gone further south.
Blair Featherman declared bankruptcy in 2019.
In 2019, Blair Loxley Featherman went through some financial hardships. According to The Daily Mail, she only had $100 in her checking account when she was declared bankrupt. She also had $20 in cash.
In June 2022, the bankruptcy case ended. This financial picture is a major contrast compared to what unfolded in the viral clip. The Colorado apartment complex is luxurious, and some condos are rented for up to $6,500 a month.
Blair “Poolside Karen” Featherman is an art consultant and Feng Shui expert.
The different documents show that Featherman has held different jobs over the years. Her former employer, Masters Gallery in Denver, released a straightforwrd statement to put some distance between them and the incident.
It read: “It has come to our attention that a former employee has appeared on social media expressing hateful and offensive statements. Master’s Gallery Denver has not employed this individual for over 5 years and condemns any actions or statements expressing hatred or racism.”
She had her own interior design business, Spatial Flow By Design Inc. Through it, she called herself a Feng Shui expert. This Chinese practice is supposed to bring calm and harmony to a room through design.

In the video, an angry Featherman can be heard complaining about the Latino family and telling them to go back to Denver. She even screamed at some point, “Get the f*** out.”
Things got physical as Featherman tried to stop a woman from filming what was unfolding. The video was uploaded to TikTok by a family member.
Moreover, cops from the Lakewood Police Department were called to the scene, and it is not clear if an arrest was made.
The video, which lasted under one minute, was viewed by millions and sparked a lot of conversations. Most people say that the woman’s behavior was unacceptable.
However, Featherman’s backers say she was right and that she should have been more careful with her words. They also blame the media for creating more racial tensions in the country by reporting on these stories.
Critics say that the spotlight needs to be put on people with this kind of behavior.
