Origin

On September 1st, 2010, kansascity.com[1] reported on an early-morning robbery at the local Shell Food Mart. On the same day, news station KMBC posted a video to YouTube[2] interviewing Diana Radcliff, a victim of the robbery, outside of the store in which she gives an eccentric retelling of the story, acting out various parts, including an infamous section where she describes how she had to "back it up" to distance herself from the robbers (shown below).

The video went viral as viewers began to share it on social media with the original upload garnering over 812,000 views in 11 years. On September 3rd, YouTuber[3] loraaah reuploaded the video under the title, "Best Witness Statement Ever – Eccentric Lady," garnering over 1 million views in a comparable span of time.

Spread
