Kathryn Smith reportedly punched the pregnant woman in the stomach

Last week, a Midvale, Utah family posted a series of clips showcasing the racism and harassment that they received from their neighbor and former prosecutor, 67-year-old Kathryn Tunison Smith. TizzyEnt, who reposted the video on Monday, narrated an incident where the husband of the interracial family was helping set up cameras for a neighbor, a single mother who had trouble with Kathryn.

Kathryn approached the neighbor and exclaimed about how she hired "n-words" to do her work. Ever since that racist incident in May, whenever the neighbor came near Kathryn's home, she yelled the n-word and shouted at him to go home. Sometimes, she messed with their vehicles; other times, she parked in front of their home early in the morning.

The woman allegedly yelled racist expletives and chased the couple's 9-year-old son, even when the child was in his yard and not near her. She once threatened to feed the child to her Savannah cats. The mother, who had had enough of her antics, went to her home to confront her. In the interaction caught on video, the pregnant mother requested Kathryn to stop talking to the kids.

"You keep your illegal dog on a f**king leash!" Kathryn yelled.

Kathryn mocked the mother and exclaimed that she didn't even know she had more than one kid.

"Just cause you f**king squirted a kid out of your c**t doesn't mean you're worthy of being a mother," she said.

The interaction immediately got violent. When the pregnant lady asked her not to talk to her kids when they were out in the yard, Kathryn yelled, "Get the f**king baby out of there," and apparently punched her in the stomach.

As per TizzyEnt, the family kept calling the police countless times regarding her antics, but they allegedly kept saying it was freedom of speech. The family then contacted the FBI, who, in turn, spoke to the police.
