Who is the famous Fountain Lady?

Cathy Cruz Marrero or Kathy Cruz Marrero depending on which news site you check is the mall employee who made the mistake of walking and texting. Ms. Marrero has been largely unknown until she decided to take her fight public by appearing on Good Morning America this morning. It is the fact that nobody came to her aid or even checked on her after the fall that has Cathy Cruz Marrero all fired up.

“I admit it was funny, but no one took my feelings into consideration,” she says. “Nobody. Nobody went to my aid, it could have been anybody’s mother.”

She certainly has a point! Wouldn’t it have been nice to see someone, anyone come to her aid after her unfortunate fall?

This week’s viral video celebrity, Cathy Cruz Marrero, is quickly achieving worldwide fame as the “fountain lady” who unfortunately took a tumble into a mall fountain when she was more focused on texting than walking. She appeared on Good Morning America and told George Stephanopoulos about the embarrassing incident and her next legal steps.

Marrero seemed equally mad about the fact that no one in the mall helped her after she fell and that the video has now become a YouTube sensation, saying “I admit it was funny, but nobody took my feelings into consideration.” Her lawyer was unintentionally funny too, commenting that they are “at the early stages of our investigation” and planned on, at the very least, “requesting or demanding an apology.” Hopefully any legal action does not have a chilling effect on people posting embarrassing videos on YouTube, otherwise what would we do on slow news days?

The interview ended with a chilling and tearful warning from Marrero: “do not text and walk.” Stephanopoulos said “thank you for being such a good sport,” apparently not realizing that “good sports” usually don’t resort to lawyering up and have reactions more similar to Steve Carrell’s character in The Office after he famously fell in a koi pond.
