In 2014 Shoshana Roberts was an actress residing in New York City.
10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman
Some critics combined both angles of criticism, claiming that the comments that Roberts considered street harassment were so perceived by her (and by her audience) because of race and class differences between her and the men making the comments. Others disputed the characterization of the video as racist.
Roberts, the woman featured in the video, reported receiving death threats within days of the video being released, and said that she no longer felt safe. Roberts later filed a lawsuit against the video's producers. However, the lawsuit was dismissed before going to trial.
In 2015, Roberts was named as one of The Forward 50.
