Couple Attacks Black Man After Hilton Hotel Serves Him Before Them Due To His Diamond Status

Couple Attacks Black Man After Hilton Hotel Serves Him Before Them Due To His Diamond Status

An incident in Rio De Janiero, Brazil caught on video in a Hilton Hotel showed a drunk White couple attacking a Black man at the concierge desk after he was served before them.

The Black man—who was a Diamond Status Hilton Rewards member—approached the counter and was immediately served, which apparently enraged the couple. Hilton offers a customer loyalty program called Hilton Rewards.


As with all customer loyalty programs, membership offers perks that increase as the customer makes more purchases. Diamond is the highest tier of the Hilton Rewards program.

As the video of the incident began, the White woman wanders over to the Black man and attempted to assault him.

From there, it escalated.

Reportedly, the White couple also used racial slurs.


According to a response on the tweet, the man who was attacked in the video claimed the couple brought the police to the hotel alleging he attacked them.

Because of the police presence, he was unable to stay at the hotel that night.




The Hilton Rio De Janeiro Copacabana issued a vague statement.

"We are aware a video has been made public showing a portion of an altercation between guests at Hilton Rio De Janeiro Copacabana,” a Hilton spokesperson told The Daily Dot.




Consequences or repercussions for the couple in the video are unclear.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
