Lydia Cartagena described the incident as, “Disgraceful, embarrassing, sad, horrible.” She further questioned, “I just can’t understand why she is behaving so erratic.”

Adding to the chorus of critical voices, Ashley Jones’s response was harsh, branding Hernandez as a “maniac” and arguing for her daughter’s safety, “Her daughter needs to be taken away from her!” Furthermore, Jones pointed out the hypocrisy in Hernandez’s slurs, commenting on how she yelled racial slurs, then called the officers “racist.”
Finally, Racy Jay offered a perspective that teeters on the brink of optimism. “Sometimes people need humiliating situations to happen in order to change. If that doesn’t make her want change, she has some major obstacles ahead.” Jay’s commentary suggests that this public scandal could be a turning point for Hernandez if she chooses to learn from it.
