Meltdown: Ambrosia hurled insults at the stranger at a supermarket parking lot in Cheektowaga, New york, for startling her kids with his car, repeatedly using the N-word



Mrs Ambrosia, who makes references in the video to her career as an exotic dancer, became upset at a black driver in the parking lot of a supermarket when he started his car, scaring her toddler son and daughter.



In response to the incident, Ambrosia, who is white, unleashed a foul-mouthed, racially charged tirade at the stranger, repeatedly calling him the N-word.



'I called you a n*****, you're a n*****: nasty f***ing n*****!' a hysterical Mrs Ambrosia yells at the man sitting in the car with his cell phone camera trained on the woman.



Her two children could be seen milling about just steps away from her and within earshot.



'They don't like black people either,' Janelle Ambrosia tells the driver at one point in reference to her kids.



Friends in high places: Ambrosia said she had stripped for police officers on multiple occasions, hinting that the driver will have little luck pressing charges against her

She later gets on the phone with her husband, asking him to come and 'f***ing kill' the stranger with the camera for recording her hate-filled diatribe delivered in front of her children.



In the video, the unnamed African-American man informs the mother of two that he plans to press charges against her, but she appears nonplussed by the threat.



‘How many cops have I stripped for?’ the raven-haired, bespectacled woman asks rhetorically. ‘You're not getting far, b****.’

The woman continues ranting in this vain for another minute, calling the man ‘a racist ignorant n****,’ and threatening to yank him out of the car and throw the cup of coffee in her hands at him.



The man who was the target of Ambrosia's rage concluded the video with the words: 'Racism [is] alive and well. It's amazing.'



In the description of the clip, the YouTube user explained that he was not so much upset for himself as for Ambrosia’s kids.



‘They will have hate and have no idea where it came from,’ he wrote.

Amidst the scandal, Janelle Ambrosia went on the WBLK radio station to tell her side of the story, Mediaite reported.



The mother of two explained to radio host Big Bob that her racially charged comments came after the driver nearly ran over one of her kids.



Her story: Janelle Ambrosia was interviewed by a local radio host, telling him she is not a racist because she has a black cousin, but rather bipolar

The exotic dancer insisted that she was not a bigot as she was being portrayed in the media.



‘I’m not a racist, I have a black cousin,’ Ambrosia said, accusing her antagonist of calling her a ‘Crackheaded cracker’ before he switched on his camera.



Ambrosia justified her behavior by saying that she suffers from a bipolar disorder and was 'just pissed off' in the moment.



She added that the father of her children is now trying to exploit the viral video showing her meltdown to get custody of their son and daughter.



The host of the show pressed Ambrosia on her repeated use of the N-word, to which she replied that the taboo term has ‘nothing to do with race.’



‘Quite frankly, if you look it up, n***** means an ignorant person,’ she replied. ‘But it’s okay for him to call me a racist or honky. That’s racist.’



Ambrosia used her appearance on the radio show to issue a sarcastic apology to the unnamed driver.



‘Oh yeah, I'll apologize for him almost hitting my kid and me losing my temper,’ she sneered.



On Wednesday, Ambrosia again took to Twitter after creating a new account, calling people who have been cyberbullying her 'SICK.'
