ST. LOUIS, MO. (THECOUNT) — Hillary Thornton, the St. Louis, MO, woman who lost her job after a video circulated online showing her refusing to let a black tenant inside the building, is speaking out to members of the local press.
Thornton said D’Arreion Toles didn’t have a key fob to get inside and forced his way in the apartment building. She reached out to share her side of the story after being called a racist and receiving death threats on social media.

“When I noticed an individual that I did not know here, my only thought was to follow directions I had been given by condo association board members repeatedly; and that’s to never allow access to anyone that you don’t know,” she said. source
Thornton had several emails from the condo association telling residents what to do if they were faced with a situation like this.
Thornton said Toles was trying to get into the building as she had the door cracked as her dog went to the bathroom.
