Taking to her Twitter account, LaRosa fired back at some of the criticism she has been receiving for the incident, as one fan called her “despicable.”
“Really? I’m “despicable” because I broke up a fight instead of letting it go &filming it for World Star? I’m despicable because I kept someone safe from brawling out into traffic that was zooming by? I’m despicable because I kept someone from possibly being seriously hurt? GFY”

LaRosa also fired back at the violent left-wing group Antifa on Twitter, who called her a “violent white nationalist.”
“So, let me get this straight… I break up a fight, saving one of their people from taking serious damage… And Antifa tries to deplatform me from yet another site? Awesome”
