Love Island USA star Hannah Smith reportedly launched a racist attack against a police officer during her recent arrest in Atlanta.
Smith was initially arrested for threatening to kill a police officer on September 30 at a concert venue in Atlanta. The reality TV star was booked on felonies of terroristic threats and willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer. She was released on bail the following day, but prosecutors are still reviewing the case to determine if she'll be charged.
According to TMZ, a source close to the investigation said Smith threatened the Cobb County police officer involved in the arrest and spewed racist statements.
"B****. I can't wait to kill you, you dumb***, ugly b**** 'cause you're f****** fat, and they love us skinny b****** 'cause you're f****** Black, and I hate Black b****** so I can't wait to kill you and your sister, you dumb*** b****," Smith allegedly told the officer.
"You hate white b******," she added, according to TMZ.
On the night of the arrest, Smith ordered a drink at The Roxy music venue before the concert began, her attorney, Mike Hawkins, told TMZ. Smith later stepped away from her drink to take a photo with fans after which "she has no memory" of what happened, according to Hawkins.
"Hannah is deeply troubled by these events. She regrets any actions she took that offended anyone, including law enforcement," Hawkins said.
