Williams-Wright then explains that the employee motive for asking the mom and her kids why they were at the pool: ‘She said to me, “Oh, because it’s always people like you using the pool unauthorized,” the noticeably irate hotel guest said.
Adding: ‘Who is people like me?’

‘Your actions do not prove that,’ the mother asserts. ‘You can say whatever you want out your mouth but your actions don’t prove what you just said out your mouth.’
Williams-Wright tells the officers that they are ‘degrading’ her in front of her kids.
She makes her way to her car before heading back inside the hotel with her children.
But before she makes her way inside, the employee tries to declare that her manager told her that Williams-Wright had to share her information.
The mother goes into the hotel and refuses to speak to the employee, telling the woman that her ‘kids are already stressed out.’

Williams-Wright at that point refuses to speak further with the employee and walks into the hotel, after complaining that her ‘kids are already stressed out’
Williams-Wright asserts that this proves the employee was actually around when they were in the hotel earlier, noting that the woman had been smoking a cigarette at the time.
At this point refuses to speak further with the employee, telling the woman that her ‘kids are already stressed out,’ and she goes into the hotel.
