A black man who filmed a white woman screaming on the ground after accusing her of being a 'Karen', calling him the n-word and flipping him off during a road rage incident has started selling t-shirts after footage of the ordeal went viral.
The woman, who only identified herself as Leah in the footage, ended up in hysterics on the floor in front of her Seattle garage and screamed 'I have a black husband' after being confronted by fellow driver Karlos Dillard on Monday.
Dillard claimed in the now viral video posted on his Instagram that she had cut him off, brake-checked him and called him the n-word.
His footage shows the moment he confronted the woman, who he brands 'Karen', before she screams: 'I have a black husband!', 'I'm not a Karen!' and 'You are totally calling me something that I am not'.
The video, which lasts for 15 minutes, does not show the woman using any racial slurs. The term Karen has become a phrase used to describe an entitled and privileged woman.
The video had been viewed 8.9million times on Twitter less than 24 hours after it was posted. The video has also been viewed more than 600,000 times on Dillard's Instagram page.
Dillard, an actor, author and comedian, describes himself on his website as 'more than just a viral video star.' He started selling t-shirts online with the phrase 'I have a black husband' after the video started going viral.

At one point in the video, the woman apologized for cutting Dillard off in her car but denies flipping him off.
The video doesn't appear to show Dillard accusing the woman to her face about calling him an n-word. He only accuses her of cutting him off and flipping him off.
During the confrontation, Dillard told the woman: 'You're not going to be on Instagram, I'm not going to ruin your life.'
At one point when the woman said she wanted to explain the misunderstanding, Dillard said: 'I don't want to hear your white tears'.
Twitter users appear to be divided about Dillard's encounter with the woman and whether she used the n-word.
They point to a video on his Twitter feed from last month in which Dillard claimed an Asian restaurant worker was racist and called him the n-word after asking to his see ID before he picked up a Postmates order that he was supposed to deliver.
During that encounter, Dillard did not accuse the female restaurant worker to her face of using the racial slur.
In a statement posted on Instagram on Wednesday addressing the controversy surround the latest incident, Dillard said the incident started out as road rage but turned racial.
He claimed in a video posted on his Instagram account on Monday that she had cut him off and brake-checked him while driving, before calling him a 'n*****'. His footage shows the moment he confronts the woman, who he brands 'Karen', before she screams, 'I have a black husband!'
