Woman who was targeted by vile 'spitting influencer' while shopping in Penneys reveals how the Only Fans reject fled when confronted for calling her the 'N' word - but what the cowardly racist did next is sickening

Published: 22:23, 5 April 2026 | Updated: 22:23, 5 April 2026 A woman who was racially abused in a random attack this week has told the Mail she is ‘not sleeping and too scared to go out’ since the shocking incident. Bella, who does not want her second name known out of fear for her safety, was accosted by a DCU graduate who has amassed tens of thousands of followers for filming herself spitting on and assaulting foreign nationals. She reported the incident to gardaí and was told her attacker’s devices had been confiscated by gardaí for analysis. Chloe Power who goes by the username Empathchan, the Ruthless Dictator, began deleting videos from her social media profile after the incident was reported. Bella, who is originally from Africa and has been living in Ireland for four years, was called the ‘n’ word and filmed as she was shopping in Penneys in Dublin’s Mary Street on Monday. The attacker posted footage of the attack to her social media accounts later that night. The civil law graduate, who is in her early 20s, is part of a growing trend where vile agitators attempt to make money from being openly hateful towards people they consider different. By Thursday the video, which has since been removed, was viewed over 600,000 times. Bella told the MoS she was ‘shocked’ to see the footage go viral and reported the incident to Store Street Garda Station in a bid to stop it happening to another person. She added: ‘Honestly I’m really struggling, I have not been sleeping, I’m scared to go out. ‘I’ve had to cancel work twice because I couldn’t bring myself to leave. I have so many people sending me my pictures and I have people from all over the world getting in contact. ‘People from Canada, the Netherlands and America are calling me. ‘My parents are very worried. They’re back home in Africa but people sent it to them.’ Describing the attack, Bella told how she was with a friend in Penneys when a woman pushed between them. She said: ‘When I asked her why she started filming me and shouting racial slurs and telling me to go back to my country.  Power posted this selfie where she appears to be smoking from a glass pipe  In another selfie, Chloe Power performs a nazi salute while wearing a military hat  In another photo the DCU graduate posted, she looks remarkably different Bella took this picture of Chloe Power when she confronted the racist in Penneys 'She said the “n” word and I said "you need to repeat that" and she ran away saying “they’re chimping out”.  'She even went as far as to make an AI picture [with Bella as a chimp]. I feel like she was waiting for me.’ Bella did not ‘for a second’ think the footage would be uploaded to social media and was ‘shocked’ the next morning when a person from Canada contacted her after seeing the video. She said: ‘She’s filming me like I am the aggressor and I am the victim. I wasn’t going to go to the gardaí but I woke the next morning to see she had posted it to Instagram, X, everywhere. I reported it and the gardaí said she’s been doing it for quite a while. A woman recoils after being spat at by Power while the racist recorded her vile action for her 'fans' ‘She has been attacking people, even kids. Another victim came to me and said she had done the same thing to them weeks ago and he reported it to the gardaí. ‘I’m so anxious, it took me so much to get dressed and leave my room today.  'I had different hair on the day she saw me. I am so scared people will recognise me as the girl from the video. ’ Bella was living in Ukraine before the war and came to Ireland where she believed she would be ‘safe’. She said: ‘My mum is calling asking if I am OK. My dad is so worried.  'The gardaí could see she has a pattern of abusing people. I think she is doing it so that someone will retaliate because I saw a four–minute video of her attacking people of colour. ‘Spitting on them. It’s so disturbing. It’s really sad because I work with Irish people and I know the Irish are really nice.  'This is the first confrontation I have had like this in my whole life and I have lived in other countries too.  'She is targeting children, she needs to be arrested. I feel like if they don’t make an example of her someone else will take it even further. ‘The authorities need to act, it is not a lawless country.’ Earlier this year, the MoS revealed how the DCU graduate, who has almost 40,000 followers on X alone, is profiting from her vile videos where she spits on and shouts racial abuse at people. In a video uploaded this week, she accosts a mother and her two young children. She shouts at the clearly frightened children, who take their mother’s hand, to ‘go back to their country.’ In another recent video, which has been viewed over a million times, the young woman accosts an Indian couple standing at a bus stop in Dublin city. Filming the disturbing exchange she says: ‘I mean like you rape women and stuff.’ In among the disturbing videos posted to her account, she posts links for people to donate money or buy sweatshirts with her face printed on the front.  The influencer, who frequently posts suggestive photos – often heavily doctored – of herself on her X page, had a brief but unsuccessful stint on OnlyFans before moving into monetising far–right fear and hatred.    When contacted by the Mail for comment, Chloe Power's only response was: ‘Who asked?’  Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.
