The Jamaican owner of the Rustic Mountain Living rental company
shocked social media by saying she wouldn’t allow any more short-
term stays. The reason? She’s fed up with the alleged
misbehavior of Black American guests.
In a TikTok video, “The Barefoot Mountain Lady,” said she
doesn’t believe all Black Americans are ill-mannered, but most
of the ones she hosted were entitled, unappreciative and
generally disrespectful in her presence.
She said she only ever had two mannerly Black American guests.
The most eyebrow-raising statement was toward the end. The owner
claimed Black Americans are spoiled and expect the same “free
sh*t” in Jamaica they supposedly get at home.
In the video, the woman does errands on her grounds, wades in
the sea, and seems completely unbothered.
People Had Heated Opinions
Unsurprisingly, the woman’s announcement sparked a firestorm of
criticism.
People accused her of perpetuating dangerous, offensive
stereotypes about Black Americans.
Others questioned the wisdom of making such a declaration on a
public platform seemingly without a second thought. They also
wondered how she can work in the hospitality industry and be so
inhospitable.
On Twitter, one user said the owner was parroting white
supremacist talking points about Black Americans. But to them,
it was more comical than offensive.
Some asked for clarification on the freebies point. “I’d like to
receive my free things, please!” wrote one woman. “Is there a
newsletter?”
After one potential guest criticized the negative energy, The
Barefoot Mountain Lady said, “You don’t have to come here.”
Another user gave the owner advice in the form of a Jamaican
proverb: “Anno everything good fi eat, good fi talk,” meaning
“some things are better left unsaid.”
The Owner Is Completely Unfazed and Won’t Back Down
The Barefoot Island Lady literally laughed at the blowback in
yet a third video.
“I’m not sorry,” she said. “You want to unfollow me? Block me? I
don’t care.”
