PHL17’s Colleen Campbell allegedly just broke the first rule of journalism — don’t become the story.

 

 

The 28-year-old Temple grad has gone viral after a video shared by New York City comic Wil Sylvince shows Campbell unleashing a profane tirade against a stoic Philadelphia police officer outside the Helium Comedy Club on Sunday night.

According to Sylvince, Campbell’s bad behavior began inside the club after she interrupted a show featuring Craig Robinson, who played Daryl in The Office, with her “loud whispering.” Sylvince says she was asked to leave the club after multiple warnings, and on the way out claims Campbell allegedly assaulted employees in the bar area.

After spending two minutes throwing out relentless profanity and insults, the patient officer finally handcuffs and arrests her after she appears to spit on a manager and attempts to shove her shoe in his face.

“That’s why everyone hates you guys,” the handcuffed reporter yells in the officer’s face. “That’s why society hates you!”

She continues to insult the officer before letting him know that she worked at PHL17, which described her as a news production employee.

“I work at a f— news station, motherf—. I work at PHL 17!” Campbell yells. “I’m not a f— hood rat.”

According to police, Campbell kicked the officer several times in the leg while being escorted to the police vehicle, where they say she also kicked the doors and windows of the car.

In an interview with Philly Magazine’s Victor Fiorillo, Campbell claims she might have been drugged prior to her outburst at the club.

“Everything was foggy,” Campbell said. “I do remember coming in to Helium. I do remember getting into an altercation there, but I don’t remember what it was about.”

Campbell told Fiorillo she deleted her social media accounts due to threats she’s received, and wanted to convey an apology to the officer who was on the receiving end of her profanity-laced tirade, which she says she didn’t know was being filmed.

“I feel ruined and embarrassed for me and my family,” Campbell added.

I have no idea how the cop kept his cool. The video is NSFW apparently. Had to find other sources that didn't actually repeat verbatim everything she said.

Right at the end of the video you can clearly see the two lots of trash been taken away at the same time. Just a pity one couldn't keep it's lid shut like the other.
