Shoshana Roberts, the aspiring actress who appears in a viral video chronicling her experience with catcalls in NYC, has been receiving rape and death threats as a result of the video’s success.

“There are people who’ve said a lot of things, but I’m not reading what they are saying,” Roberts told CNN’s Anderson Cooper Wednesday. “We hit a nerve.”

The video, titled “10 Hours of Walking in NYC as a Woman,” was filmed for anti-street harassment group Hollaback! It has received more than 15 million views since being posted Tuesday.

Roberts walked through the streets of NYC for 10 hours without speaking a word despite being asked questions and followed on multiple occasions. Filmmaker Rob Bliss captured the footage wearing a hidden GoPro camera in his backpack.

“My nonverbal cues were saying, ‘Don’t talk to me.’ No eye contact. No friendly demeanor,” Roberts said. “But they were ignoring my nonverbal cues.”

During her journey, she was catcalled more than 100 times. “Damn, baby you look good” and “How you doing?” were some of the catcalls that came from people of “all colors, shapes, sizes and ages.”

Although she was wearing a tight-fitting black shirt and skinny jeans, Roberts says that wearing something more conservative wouldn’t have prevented the catcalls.

“It is all day long. It is every day,” she told Cooper. “That’s a typical day… It doesn’t matter what you wear.”

Hollaback! says that street harassment is a type of sexual harassment that occurs in public places. The group says that street harassment reminds “historically subordinated groups” of their vulnerability to assault and rape in public space.

“To see things from the other side and to really feel for the first time, going through this every day, I feel kind of sick,” Bliss told ABC News after hearing first hand the catcalling women experience on a daily basis.

According to Hollaback!, women can take away the power of the harasser by exposing their actions in a public forum. The group encourages women to use their cellphones to document, map and share incidents of street harassment.

“We work together to better understand street harassment, to ignite public conversations, and to develop innovative strategies to ensure equal access to public spaces,” the group’s mission statement reads.
