Three black women in a Target store in Tennessee are claiming they were verbally harassed by a white woman who told them they “don’t belong here” and accused them of being “inappropriate” for allegedly talking about sex in public.

The group of women were browsing the hat section at a Nashville location of the retailer and discussing a scene from the 1992 movie “Boomerang” when the white woman came up to them.

“We just had a BBQ Becky experience! This was just the last 3 minutes of it, but this woman [literally] approached us, told us our brief reference to Eartha Kitt in Boomerang was an inappropriate conversation and asked us to leave,” Lena Jones, one of the women involved in the incident, posted on Facebook along with now-deleted video, Yahoo Lifestyle reports.

The white woman, who’s been dubbed “Target Tammy” or “Target Teresa,” can be heard in the video calling the other women “abusive” and saying they’re “trained liars.”

“I understand you’re an abuser. I understand you’re abusive and you make up lies. Keep telling me I’m ignorant … personal attacks … I also didn’t realize that talking about sex was normal,” the white woman said.

“I know you’re trained on lying, you’re trained liars. You’re perfect for the court system,” she continued.

One of the women being allegedly harassed said she, her cousin and her best friend were discussing a specific part of the movie where Eartha Kitt has sex with a younger man when “Target Tammy” inserted herself into the situation.

“She told us, ‘You shouldn’t be talking about sex,'” the woman told Yahoo Lifestyle. “We were confused — then, she came around the corner with her shopping cart and started ranting, ‘You don’t belong here’ and calling our conversation inappropriate.”

The woman said she lives in the South and has never experienced anything like this before.

“You never think it could happen to you. We’re educated women — we are not aggressive people and we avoid conflict.”

Two Target employees eventually came to help diffuse the situation, with part of the interaction caught on video as well. The three women said they were pleased with the way the store handled the matter.

“The employees could have easily kicked us all out of the store, but they took the time to listen,” one of the women said.

Reactions on Twitter were mostly in support of the three women, saying that the harasser should mind her own business. Others praised one of the Target employees.
