Crystle Stewart is having another viral moment as Mallory Bellarie.
The Beauty in Black star has social media talking after one of Mallory’s most outrageous Season 3 moments quickly became one of the show’s most quotable scenes.
During the sixth episode of Season 3, Mallory finally admits her involvement in a shocking situation and delivers the now-infamous line:
“I ran over that bitch like a possum in the rain.”
The moment comes as Mallory confronts a character about the Bellarie family’s dark secrets. Rather than offering a soft confession, Mallory delivers the revelation with the kind of unapologetic attitude that has made her one of the show’s most entertaining characters.
And apparently, fans can’t get enough of it.
Mallory’s “Possum in the Rain” Moment Takes Over Social Media
Since Season 3 arrived on Netflix on August 27, the line has quickly started circulating across social media, with viewers quoting Mallory, turning the phrase into memes and joking that it has become their new favorite expression.
One social-media post describing the line as a new “vocal stim” received thousands of views and reactions, while another post featuring the quote generated significant engagement.
The popularity of the moment isn’t necessarily surprising. Mallory has always been one of the most unpredictable characters on Beauty in Black, but Season 3 takes her attitude to another level.
Netflix’s official Season 3 character guide describes Mallory as an entrepreneur whose polished image begins to crack as family secrets, corporate problems and her collapsing marriage put increasing pressure on her. Stewart explained that Mallory ultimately becomes someone willing to make extremely difficult choices to survive.
Fans Are Turning Mallory Into a Halloween Costume
Now the viral moment has seemingly crossed over from television fandom into Halloween territory.
A costume package circulating online features a Mallory-inspired look branded “I Ran Over That Bitch Costume.” The package includes an “iconic wig,” a patterned jacket, a black top and, perhaps most importantly, “attitude.”
The costume captures the exact energy of Mallory’s viral moment, recreating her long dark hair, black-and-white patterned jacket and confident facial expression.
And honestly, it may be one of the most unexpected television-inspired Halloween costume ideas of the year.
Rather than simply dressing as a character from Beauty in Black, fans can recreate the specific Mallory era that produced one of Season 3’s most memorable quotes.
Crystle Stewart Is Getting Her Flowers
Stewart’s performance has been a major part of why Mallory continues to stand out.
Netflix identifies Stewart as the actress behind Mallory, describing the character as the public face of the Beauty in Black brand following her marriage to Roy Bellarie. In Season 3, Mallory finds herself fighting to maintain her power while the Bellarie empire becomes increasingly unstable.
The new season has also given Stewart some of Mallory’s most intense material yet.
And while Beauty in Black is filled with shocking twists, betrayals and violence, sometimes it’s one perfectly delivered sentence that becomes the moment everybody remembers.
“I ran over that bitch like a possum in the rain” has clearly become one of those moments.
With fans already quoting the line and a Mallory-inspired Halloween costume circulating, Crystle Stewart may have accidentally created one of the most recognizable pop-culture Halloween looks of the season.
And if people actually start showing up to Halloween parties dressed as Mallory?
