00:00:00This is my job. I'm just trying to work. I'm trying to make a living. I didn't get up yesterday
00:00:04to be attacked by a crazy person. Welcome to WatchMojo. And today we're counting down our
00:00:10picks for the rudest, most entitled, and most belligerent people, aka Karens, who received
00:00:17karmic justice for their actions. We'll explore the inciting incidents and what cosmic consequences
00:00:24they received. He's been called a genius. He's been called an inspiration. But now some are calling
00:00:32him a vile racist. Number 75. Slapstick Karen. Justice doesn't always involve the law. Sometimes
00:00:43appropriate consequences occur outside the legal framework. In 2015, a Karen's incorrect takeout
00:00:50order did not make her a happy bunny. Apparently, she was livid her food contained green peppers
00:01:01instead of red, stating her kids wouldn't eat such colors. Who wants to bet Karen didn't
00:01:08let them know this beforehand? Anyway, Karen decided some racism was needed as she scolded
00:01:14the staff for speaking another language. The nice employees offered to make it again, but
00:01:25it would take 15 minutes. Naturally, Karen couldn't wait and so she stormed out while yelling. But
00:01:31then karma came into play as she walked right into the glass door. Delightful.
00:01:37Number 74. Hammer of Justice. Things are about to get ugly at this drive-thru coffee stand.
00:01:44As the old expression goes, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. In 2024, the owner and barista
00:01:53of the Taste of Heaven Espresso Bikini Coffee Stand in Seattle, Washington, Emily, was in for a dramatic
00:02:00shift. A regular customer arrived at the drive-thru, got his order, and then kicked off upon being
00:02:06charged more than usual. After making threats, he eventually got his order from Lee. Then he
00:02:13threw the water and the coffee at the serving window. First, the customer throws the water,
00:02:18then the coffee. But the barista isn't taking it lying down. In a flash, Lee popped out again,
00:02:26armed with a hammer, and smashed his windshield. Not only does the tantrum man have to fix his car,
00:02:33but he's also been banned from Lee's establishment, and she filed assault charges against him.
00:02:38I was trying to de-escalate as much as I felt was appropriate for the situation.
00:02:43Number 73. Farmer Karen. The woman who runs the farmer's market says that this matter is just a
00:02:50misunderstanding. In June 2020, Dan Floyd wanted to celebrate Pride Month while he sold products via
00:02:57his Dan Good Cookies business at the Livermore Farmers Market in California. So he handed out
00:03:03Pride flags to customers. Gail Hayden, the director of the California Farmers Market Association,
00:03:09made sure she used her authority to dash that nice gesture. She was recorded berating Floyd,
00:03:15calling the LGBTQIA plus promotion a political point of view.
00:03:20The purpose of the mission of the market is not your political point of view.
00:03:24Hayden also tried to claim the flags were a health and safety risk as the kids were having
00:03:29sword fights with them. When the footage went online, the internet and the LGBTQIA plus community were
00:03:36livid at Hayden, and she was forced to resign from her director position.
00:03:40I didn't really mean political. I meant in the sense that it's not food, it's in another category.
00:03:46Number 72, Chipotle Chucker. Let the punishment fit the crime, as they say.
00:03:52In 2023, Rosemary Hain wasn't happy about the appearance of the hot burrito bowl she'd ordered
00:03:59from a Chipotle in Ohio. If I show you how my food looked and how my food looked a week later
00:04:03from that same restaurant, it was disgusting looking. So she argued with employees,
00:04:09leading her to throw the dish at Emily Russell before storming off.
00:04:16Have no fear. Haynes was soon arrested and found guilty of assault. She was fined and
00:04:24sentenced to 180 days in jail with 90 suspended. However, the judge offered her an unusual alternative.
00:04:31Haynes could instead work 20 hours per week for 60 days at a fast food restaurant, which she accepted.
00:04:38Why should the city taxpayers pay for her and feed her for 90 days in jail if I can teach her a sense of
00:04:46empathy? Russell, on the other hand, quit her job due to lack of support from Chipotle management.
00:04:53Number 71, Burger Basher. If you ask for extra ketchup on a burger, a rational person wouldn't be upset to
00:05:01receive what they asked for, but no one said Karen's were rational. In 2022, a woman at a McDonald's was
00:05:09filmed doing the classic Karen thing of asking to speak to the manager. The woman was apparently mad
00:05:15at getting too much extra ketchup. Channeling her inner toddler, the Karen slammed the burger on the
00:05:20counter, causing it to explode everywhere. She then claimed the staff were mocking her because she was
00:05:31on a diet, even though she didn't tell them that. When the video spread online, Karen posted an update
00:05:37saying she was fired due to the clip and accepted no responsibility, which I find to be extremely unfair
00:05:45because all I was doing was going to get my weekly cheat meal. And it was the McDonald's employees
00:05:51that did not follow the simple directions. Number 70, Rich Racist. I'm not a racist.
00:05:58I made a terrible, terrible mistake. Donald Sterling had owned the NBA team,
00:06:03the Los Angeles Clippers, since 1981, but that came to an end in 2014. Deering leaked audio between
00:06:10the real estate mogul and his mistress, V. Stiviano. Sterling was angry that she had taken a photo with
00:06:17the legendary Magic Johnson. He stated while Stiviano could sleep with black people, Sterling asked her
00:06:24not to bring them to his games. The league, coaches, and players, including those from the Clippers,
00:06:37were outraged at Sterling's racist remarks. The NBA banned Sterling for life and fined him 2.5 million
00:06:43dollars. I am banning Mr. Sterling for life from any association with the Clippers organization
00:06:52or the NBA. Sterling's wife pushed through the sale of the Clippers, eventually overcoming his
00:06:58efforts to block it by suing her and the NBA. Number 69, Acting Up. They knew that I was Christian,
00:07:06and they knew my stance on marriage, they knew my stance on my faith, they knew my stance on God,
00:07:10on many different things that are in the Bible. If you're an actor who's a bigot,
00:07:15you might want to study your role before accepting a part. In 2019, actor Seyi Omuba caused outrage
00:07:23when a 2014 social media post in which she ranted homophobically was discovered. The problem was that
00:07:30Omuba had been cast as Seelie in a UK theatre run of The Color Purple, a role that involves a lesbian
00:07:38relationship. After being dropped by the production and her agency, Omuba took everyone to a tribunal
00:07:45with the support of her father's group, Christian Concern. In 2021, she lost the case and was ordered to
00:07:52pay over £300,000 in legal fees. Like a glutton for punishment, Omuba appealed. However, that was
00:07:59rejected in 2024. I've been trying to email agents, trying to get work, and it's just no response.
00:08:06I don't think it would escalate to this. Number 68, Birthday Bigots. You don't get much more
00:08:12Karen-y than dictating who can and can't live near you based on absurd criteria. In 2015, a group of white
00:08:21supremacists under the name Respect the Flag drove around Douglasville, Georgia, waving Confederate
00:08:27flags and weapons, screaming racial slurs, and threatening anyone who wasn't white. This included
00:08:34families and children attending a birthday party. They threatened the killers, and that was terrifying.
00:08:39The group did this shortly after extremist Dylan Roof had committed a heinous church shooting in South
00:08:45Carolina. In 2017, couple Jose Torres and Kayla Norton were found guilty for their involvement.
00:08:52Torres was sentenced to 13 years in jail and seven on probation. Norton to six years and nine on
00:08:59probation. The duo sobbed as they received their punishment. Judge William McClain noted before
00:09:05sentencing that given the nature of the language use, heavy use of the n-word directed at the people and
00:09:12children at that birthday party. He said that there was no doubt that this was a racially motivated
00:09:18crime. Number 67, Tram Tirade. Police are appealing for information after a woman traveling on the
00:09:24Croydon tram hurled racist abuse at fellow passengers. Most of the time, public transport is easy and
00:09:31uneventful, but apparently not when Emma West got on a tram from Croydon, England to Wimbledon in 2011,
00:09:39with a child sitting awkwardly on her knee. She launched into a racially charged tirade,
00:09:45ignorantly telling anyone, mostly non-white passengers, to go back to their countries.
00:09:54After the clip went viral, West was located and arrested. In 2013, she was given a 24-month community
00:10:01order. However, that wasn't the end of it. In 2014, after being suspended from her job, West was struck off as
00:10:09a dental nurse by the General Dental Council after they deemed her a risk to patient safety.
00:10:16Number 66, Principle of Racism. When most folks make a mistake at work, they don't become a bigot.
00:10:23But apparently, Nancy Gorduk is cut from a very different, severely frayed cloth. In 2015, the
00:10:31founder and principal of the TNT Academy in Stone Mountain, Georgia, accidentally dismissed students
00:10:37at graduation before the valedictorian's speech. When she called them back, for some reason, Gorduk
00:10:44singled out the black students and berated them.
00:10:47What does this mean to all black people? The crowd now outraged.
00:10:51After the clip went viral and caused outrage, Gorduk apologized, but she added that the devil
00:10:57made her behave racist. You know, when I said it, I told my husband it felt like the devil was in the
00:11:03house because it didn't even sound like me. As a result of the scandal and pointing fingers
00:11:08at Satan, the school's board of directors voted to fire Gorduk.
00:11:12Number 65, TSA Tantrum. A woman from Arkansas arrested after police say that she attacked
00:11:20TSA officers. In 2023, three TSA agents had the worst shift ever when Micaiah Coleman went through
00:11:28security at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Due to the rules, you can't take large
00:11:34quantities of liquids through, and Coleman wasn't happy to lose her precious apple juice. After
00:11:39ranting and trying to get her items back, she got onto a table to illustrate her frustration.
00:11:45When the agents tried to control her, it got messy. Coleman elbowed one, giving them a concussion,
00:11:51and ripped their top. Then, after taking off her shirt for some reason, she grabbed another's hair
00:11:57and punched them multiple times. Finally, Coleman bit the remaining agents. Unsurprisingly,
00:12:03she was arrested and charged on several counts, including assaults. Now she's facing one felony
00:12:09and four misdemeanor counts. In court, she asked a judge about paying bond, which was set at $4,500.
00:12:16Number 64, The Undermining Volunteer. It's basic decency to address people by their preferred
00:12:24and actual title, especially when it comes to a formal setting like a council's zoning commission
00:12:29meeting. Well, Tony Collins didn't want to be decent in 2021.
00:12:34Mrs. Rosario has something about one of those things. It's Dr. Rosario. Thank you. Mrs. Rosario has
00:12:40something about one of those things. Dr. Rosario. During a Greensboro, North Carolina City Council
00:12:44Zoom meeting, Collins, a volunteer construction contractor, refused to address Kerry Rosario
00:12:51as Dr. Rosario. Instead, he referred to her as Mrs. Rosario, despite her correcting him multiple times.
00:12:58So please, sir, call me as I would like to be called. That's how I'm identifying.
00:13:02It doesn't really matter. It matters to me.
00:13:05It makes you wonder if he'd had been rude if Rosario had been a white man. At a later meeting,
00:13:11the council disclosed Collins showed white privilege and entitlement and voted to fire him from his
00:13:17position in the zoning commission. Number 63, Soup Assault. In 2021, Janelle Broland,
00:13:26a manager at the Sol de Jalisco restaurant in Temple, Texas, was having an annoying shift. She'd
00:13:33just dealt with a phone call from Amanda Martinez, complaining about her soup being so hot that it
00:13:39melted the plastic lid. I, of course, offered her refunds and was trying to get her either a
00:13:44replacement meal or just something completely different if she wasn't in the mood for soup
00:13:49anymore. But Broland's workday was going to get worse when Martinez walked in and began ranting.
00:13:56When the manager asked her to calm down or the cops would be called,
00:13:59Martinez lobbed the soup in Broland's face before running off. Thankfully, it wasn't hot,
00:14:06but the spicy content did give the manager a nosebleed and irritated her eyes. The spices from the soup
00:14:12are what my eyes were stinging so bad. They were burning and the spices were all like inside of
00:14:18the top part of my nose. In 2023, Martinez was fined, told to pay court costs and received 15 months
00:14:25deferred adjudication and six days of jail work release. Number 62, First Class Racism. The details of
00:14:34this case, quote, shocking, vile, cruel, degrading and disturbing. Nice neighbors can make a house
00:14:42a home. Nasty neighbors can make a house a hellscape. Suzanne Kraft is definitely in the nasty category.
00:14:50In 2020, she began targeting fellow Louisville, Kentucky resident with her bile. Simply being an
00:14:56interracial couple was enough to rile up Kraft, who sent a family letters through the post containing
00:15:02threats, bullets, and racist slurs. The Karen neighbor has a history against this and another
00:15:08family too. She was convicted of vandalism for spurring offensive imagery and slurs on their
00:15:13properties, resulting in Kraft being given a non-contact order, which she ignored. In 2023,
00:15:20Kraft was sentenced to nine years in jail, followed by three years of supervised release for her horrible
00:15:26harassments. Michela Pineda saying, quote, I am still in fear today, looking over my shoulder
00:15:32everywhere I go. I heard the message loud and clear. Her intention was to instill fear. Up until the day
00:15:39of her arrest, she harassed us. Number 61, The Astronauts. Lisa Nowak could have spent the rest of
00:15:47her days living off the fact that she was a NASA astronaut. Like all astronauts, she's an American hero of
00:15:54epic proportions. Instead, she's better known as the Astronauts. In 2007, after her relationship with
00:16:02fellow astronaut William Offlin ended and he began seeing Colleen Shipman, Nowak wanted revenge.
00:16:09Allegedly wearing an adult diaper, she packed a load of weapons and supplies as she drove 900 miles to
00:16:15confront Shipman in Orlando, Florida at the airport. Nowak managed to pepper spray Shipman, who managed
00:16:30to get away and call the cops. In 2009, Nowak, as part of a plea deal, received one year's probation and
00:16:38two days in jail that she already served. She was also demoted by the Navy and got an other than
00:16:45honorable discharge. Number 60, Trad Karen. The rise of trad wives in recent years has been strange.
00:16:55On one hand, they're living the life they want. On the other, well, there's Lily Gaddis. In 2024,
00:17:03she posted a cooking video. But instead of talking about how much salt to add, she goes on a misogynistic,
00:17:09racist, and expletive rant about gold diggers. Somehow, making it even worse, Gaddis casually
00:17:21throws in a racial slur. After the internet was awash with outrage, the video found its way to Roe of
00:17:28the Carolinas, her employers, who promptly fired her. Did Gaddis hold her hands up and apologize?
00:17:35Of course not. Instead, she called people sick for getting her fired. Then, the trad wife showed her
00:17:42arrogance by pretending to apologize, only to mock people. All the backlash just really made me, you
00:17:48know, just really do a deep dive, like do a soul search. And after all that, I still couldn't find a
00:17:55care. 59. Canada Karen. Canada has a reputation for being filled with nice people. Then, there's
00:18:03Kelly Polka breaking that mold. In 2018, a group of men were trying to enjoy their meals at a Denny's
00:18:19in Lethbridge, Alberta. Suddenly, Polka turned her head around and began yelling at them and uttered
00:18:25violent threats. At one point, she had to be restrained by her husband. Polka also claimed
00:18:39they weren't Canadian and told them to go back to their countries. While it shouldn't matter,
00:18:44each of the men are Canadian citizens. Polka did apologize for her racist behavior,
00:18:56but also claimed she was apparently provoked. Police investigated, and Polka's employer,
00:19:02Cranbrook Dodge, immediately fired her. Adding they strive to be an inclusive company,
00:19:07and despite the fact Polka was on what would be considered her own time,
00:19:11her behavior was enough to see her ties to the company severed. 58. In-N-Out Legal Trouble.
00:19:17In 2022, Irene Kim and Elliot Ha were at an In-N-Out restaurant in San Ramon, California,
00:19:25and got a hate crime along with their fries.
00:19:28The duo were digging in and recording their review when Jordan Krah's disembodied voice
00:19:39began spewing racist and homophobic comments and slurs at them. Like a menacing Casper,
00:19:46Krah threatened to fight Ha outside. Kim tried to continue the video like a trooper,
00:19:51only for Krah to stand outside and watch them through the glass, putting them both off.
00:19:56The good workers at the restaurant walked the pair to their car to make sure they were safe.
00:20:09When the video went viral, internet sleuths managed to track down Krah's identity. He was arrested and
00:20:16charged with hate crimes. 57. Nursing Racism. On the whole, nurses are underappreciated,
00:20:25even though they're the backbone of the medical industry.
00:20:29Then there's Rayane Oliva, who breaks the mold for all the wrong reasons. In 2015, she was recorded
00:20:36uttering vulgar insults against Native Americans, then finishing with a smug expression. Well,
00:20:43that look would soon be scrubbed from her face. The video and other clips and posts from Oliva quickly
00:20:49drew the ire of the internet, especially with Native Americans. After discovering she was a nurse at
00:20:56the Monument Health Rapid City Hospital in South Dakota, they set up a Facebook page requesting she'd be
00:21:02fired and arranged a demonstration. However, before the protest, the hospital publicly fired Oliva and
00:21:10stated they stood against racism. 56. Petty Person Petty. A local man simply wants to fish in his own
00:21:18neighborhood. Alarming video tonight shows him catching something else. In 2023, Anthony Gibson was
00:21:25hanging out with friends and doing some fishing in Noonan, Georgia. But then, for the third time of the day,
00:21:32a white person sticks their nose in. All are the same type of people. Atlanta News First saw some of
00:21:38those other encounters on his page, one of which he claims police were called on him. Pretending to be
00:21:43nice with cloudy overtones of racism, Tonya Petty questions where the group lives since the lake is
00:21:50only for use by residents. However, Gibson lived there. When Petty didn't immediately get her way,
00:21:57she switched tactics by playing the victim. She denied Gibson permission to film her
00:22:02and threatened him by saying she would take down his license plate number. When Petty's employer,
00:22:07wellness company Seaglass Therapy, heard about it, they publicly fired her as an independent contractor.
00:22:1555. Karen the Karen. The high-powered woman slammed for berating cops during a traffic stop
00:22:22is breaking her silence. In 2018, police in Tenafly, New Jersey stopped a vehicle after noticing its
00:22:29registration had lapsed. The cops had no idea what they were in for when Karen Turner arrived to collect
00:22:35her daughter, who was using the car. She quickly pulled the Do You Know Who I Am card by making it
00:22:42clear she was a commissioner for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. Turner also says she has
00:22:48friends in high places. After tossing in she was a friend of the mayor and that the pulled over women
00:22:58were students at prestigious schools, Turner also belittled and swore at the officers. For some sweet
00:23:05revenge, the department released the footage. After resigning from the Port Authority, Turner was also
00:23:11fined $1,500 by the Ethics Commission. 54. Dior Disaster. He's been called a genius. He's been called
00:23:21an inspiration. But now, some are calling him a vile racist. As creative director at Dior,
00:23:29John Galliano had the fashion world at his feet. But that was before he got intoxicated and went on an
00:23:35anti-Semitic rant, not once, but twice. In 2011, shortly before Paris Fashion Week, a video of
00:23:43Galliano emerged of him saying he loved Adolf Hitler and wished violence against others.
00:23:55After this, another woman came forward with similar accusations concerning a 2010 incident. On top of
00:24:01being fired by Dior, the disgraced designer was also found guilty of his tirade and fined €6,000 in
00:24:08suspended fines. In 2013, Galliano sued Dior for unfair dismissal. Unsurprisingly, he lost and had to pay
00:24:17the defendants a symbolic €1 each. 53. Utah Karen. A Midvale family now taking legal action after their
00:24:27video has gone viral. It shows a neighbor yelling racial slurs at them. In an ideal world, every
00:24:34neighbor would be a good egg. Sadly, you have people like Katherine Smith, who has continually
00:24:40terrorized her neighborhood in Midvale, Utah. In 2023, for months, she targeted one family by screaming
00:24:48racial slurs at them, messing with their vehicles, and even threatening to feed their child to her cats.
00:24:54Smith was recorded multiple times behaving inexcusably. According to the family's lawyer,
00:25:03there had been 81 incidents of recorded terrible behavior by Smith. When all the footage got out,
00:25:09you might be shocked to know that Smith had outstanding warrants. One for harassing another
00:25:15family. Even though she was arrested, Smith continued her campaign. So in 2024, the family issued a lawsuit
00:25:23against her. Civil rights attorney Tyler Ayers is representing the family. She has no reservation
00:25:28about using them at children. Not even just in front of children, but directly at them.
00:25:3452. Hollywood Horror. This is my job. I'm just trying to work. I'm trying to make a living. I didn't
00:25:41get up yesterday to be attacked by a crazy person. In 2020, Natasha Lawson was working as a security guard
00:25:49at a pavilion supermarket in West Hollywood, California. Instead of getting to enjoy a quiet
00:25:55shift, she was alerted to an argument in the parking lot. When she arrived, Cashmire Duran turned
00:26:01her ire towards Lawson. She threw a bottle at the guard, attacked her, and even bit her finger,
00:26:07all while Duran uttered racial slurs. I feel like it was really disgusting to have another woman attack me
00:26:14and call me a bunch of racial names just for me being who I am and being in the color of my skin.
00:26:18Eventually, Duran's father dragged her into the car and tried to get away. However,
00:26:23they were blocked from doing so. Duran continued yelling obscenities inside the vehicle, at one
00:26:29point reaching a new low by throwing dog food on the ground and using more slurs. Duran was arrested
00:26:35and charged for her deplorable actions. In 2024, Avery Leroy was with friends at a
00:26:51restaurant in St. George, Utah. Suddenly, she felt cold hands touch her and pull on her skirts.
00:26:57Leroy then saw the icy mitts belonged to an Ida Ann Lorenzo. During the confrontation, Lorenzo flashed
00:27:04her ID badge, told them she was working for the state, and said she would call CPS if Leroy's
00:27:10skirt didn't stop exposing her. In reality, the student had shorts underneath. After seeing the
00:27:22clip online, Lorenzo called the police, even claiming bystanders applauded her for her actions.
00:27:29However, once they got the whole story, she was arrested and charged with battery. To top off
00:27:35the justice cake with a karmic cherry, Lorenzo was also fired from the Utah Attorney General's office.
00:27:4350. Low Battery Meltdown
00:27:46Getting a low phone battery is annoying, sure, but launching into a racist tirade against someone that
00:27:53has nothing to do with that? Well, that's bonkers. In November 2022, a video emerged of an Uber driver
00:28:06getting a load of abuse from a customer. With footage taken from the worker and by a witness,
00:28:12we can see the entitled woman yelling at the guy about her battery and wanting a charger. To make
00:28:17her behavior worse, she uttered multiple racial slurs at the driver, sparking gasps from the witness.
00:28:31The police interviewed the driver, however, he didn't issue a formal complaint. Uber then announced
00:28:38the woman was banned from the platform. Delightful. 49. Tube Show
00:28:44On England's London Underground, there's a list of unspoken rules. Don't talk loudly,
00:28:51don't speak to strangers to be friendly, and don't eat smelly stuff. There's also a written rule about
00:28:57not spitting racist vitriol that one can't ignore. In 2020, he was yelling aggressive abuse at other
00:29:07passengers like this is my home and other such ridiculous things. He even referred to non-white
00:29:14people as his pets. Gross! As the tube stops, a group of black guys goes to leave, however,
00:29:21Ken tries to intimidate them. Suddenly, one of the guys spins and punches him, knocking the now
00:29:27unconscious Ken to the floor in a heap. While cheers erupted from the carriage, some people put Ken in the
00:29:35recovery position. 48. No Cruise Control
00:29:39It might not come as a surprise to anyone, but even politicians can be complete Karens. In March 2022,
00:29:59Texas Senator Ted Cruz was running late and ended up missing his flight from Bozeman-Yellowstone
00:30:04International Airport in Montana. Instead of handling it like an adult, he argued with the
00:30:10staff for his poor timekeeping, even reportedly whipping out the Do You Know Who I Am card.
00:30:17Cruise became frustrated when he was late for checking in for his flight to DC,
00:30:21and was told that rebooking options were limited due to spring break. In the end, the police had to be
00:30:27called to calm Cruise down. Another US politician who hates being told what to do is Amanda Chase.
00:30:34After refusing to wear a mask during the Virginia Senate sessions in February 2021, she had to sit
00:30:41in a plexiglass box of shame. Pretty humiliating. 47. New Jersey Slurs
00:30:49When Tamika Bordeaux walked out of her Bayonne, New Jersey home in January 2022, she was quickly greeted by the
00:30:56sight of a mail carrier being chastised by Claudia Emanuele, who was complaining about some late post.
00:31:03Reportedly attempting to be a good Samaritan, she went to help. But as soon as she walked over,
00:31:09Emanuele erupted with a litany of racial slurs at her.
00:31:13Bordeaux tried to simmer down the situation, but that didn't work. Even walking away had no effect,
00:31:31as Emanuele followed and kept using abusive words. Emanuele only stopped with the abuse when Bordeaux
00:31:38went into a store and after two other people had intervened. Bordeaux ultimately handed the video
00:31:44to the cops, who arrested Emanuele. 46. Buffalo Bigot
00:31:53In May 2022, Caitlin Bolden, Brandon Hawkins, and Erica Seymour were part of the behavioral health
00:32:00team for the Buffalo Police, which specializes in cases with mental health incidents. The trio
00:32:06watched a video of a black police officer being pulled over by a white officer, highlighting racial
00:32:11profiling, before showing the clip to their captain, Amber Byer. She reportedly launched into a racially
00:32:18charged 20-minute rant slating black people, saying that black men cheat on their wives more than white
00:32:26men, and that all the black police officers she knows are unfaithful, and that if she saw a black
00:32:33man in her neighborhood, she would be suspicious. Citing other incidents of her racism, including claims
00:32:39she repeatedly used grim slurs, the three spoke to Commissioner Joseph Gramalia, who removed her from
00:32:45managing the department. So before the May 2nd incident, have you felt racism on the job working
00:32:51within the Buffalo Police Department? Yes. Absolutely. Then in December 2022, the trio initiated a
00:32:57$15 million lawsuit against Byer, who was quickly suspended from her role. Byer, the department,
00:33:04and the city are being sued for retaliation, a hostile work environment, and race discrimination.
00:33:09Number 45. Texas tirade. One common factor of Karen's is making sure everyone knows their vile
00:33:26thoughts, even if no one requested them. In August 2022, four Indian American women were going to their
00:33:32cars after being at a restaurant in Plano, Texas. But then, Esmeralda Upton came out of the shadows,
00:33:39and decided she was going to go on a racist rant. Fearing for their safety, the woman filmed Upton's
00:33:45outburst. She told the four how much she hated Indians, issued threats of violence, and assaulted
00:33:51them. On top of being arrested on several charges, Upton also had to contend with not one, but two lawsuits
00:33:59from her victims. Number 44. Taped Up. Sometimes people come together to get justice. In 2021,
00:34:08on a flight from Philadelphia to Miami, a drunk Maxwell Barry was causing havoc as he groped two
00:34:15female flight attendants. When a male attendant confronted him, things kicked off. After spouting
00:34:21verbal abuse, Barry attempted to attack the man, but it didn't work out for him. The attendant,
00:34:27cool as a cucumber, restrained Barry easily. Other passengers got involved and helped him
00:34:33by taping the unruly Barry to his chair. To keep Barry constrained, the flight attendants
00:34:39used seatbelt extenders and tape to keep him seated, and his mouth temporarily shut. Genius!
00:34:46He was arrested when the plane landed. On top of his cinematic embarrassment going viral,
00:34:52Barry faced charges of three counts of assault. He pled guilty and received 60 days in prison,
00:34:58with one year of supervised release. Number 43. The Anti-Influencer
00:35:05Even if you're walking down the sidewalk, apparently, that's enough to summon a Karen
00:35:10from the Shadow Realm to torment you. In December 2022, TikToker Bianca Figueira said she was doing just
00:35:18that when Sandra Jean Allen was walking in the other direction, so the influencer attempted to
00:35:23get out of her way. After she did that, Allen had to escalate the situation with racist insults.
00:35:30When confronted, Figueira claimed Allen got physical with her, which in turn,
00:35:35caused the TikToker to defend herself and her family. Allen proceeded to scream for help for some
00:35:41reason, then threatened to call ICE on Figueroa. Yikes. After throwing in cringey phrases like
00:35:57are you triggered, the altercation got police called to the scene. They were eventually shown the footage,
00:36:11leading Allen to be later arrested for her behavior.
00:36:15Number 42. Escalation Karen
00:36:19Enjoying the warm weather in March 2022 in Bristol, England,
00:36:24Faye Johnson and her three children decided to paddleboard on a river. However, a group of tweens
00:36:31was enjoying their own entertainment, albeit inappropriate and reckless, as they launched
00:36:36rocks and mud balls at folk on the water. Johnson erupted with rage when she and her kids had items
00:36:43lobbed at them. She grabbed her paddle and struck Antoine Forrest on the head, leaving a nasty injury.
00:36:56After the police originally failed to react, which caused much public outrage, they eventually arrested
00:37:02Johnson for her assault. In January 2023, she was handed a four-month suspended sentence and told
00:37:09to give Forrest £500 in compensation. Number 41. Walmart Ken
00:37:17Usually, we see Karens as customers launching a tirade of irrational abuse against employees. Well,
00:37:25not this time. Instead, it's reversed. In November 2022, an unnamed customer was trying to leave
00:37:31Walmart with a cart of paid items. Instead, he was blocked by an unidentified employee. For context,
00:37:38the worker was white and the customer was black. The employee demanded to see the receipt before
00:37:44spitting racial insults and slurs. The worker then began taking items from the cart. This caused the two
00:37:51to get into a ruckus over the products. Afterward, the customer issued a formal complaint with Walmart,
00:38:07who later announced the racist employee was no longer working for them.
00:38:11Number 40. South African Karen
00:38:16In 2016, in Johannesburg, South Africa, estate agent Vicky Mumberg's car was broken into. When the police
00:38:24arrived, instead of them being able to help solve this crime, they became victims of another. Mumberg
00:38:31launched into a racist tirade against the officers and emergency service dispatchers, even throwing in
00:38:37apartheid-era slurs 48 times. So she was arrested for crimen injuria, which concerns impairing another's
00:38:53dignity. In 2018, Mumberg became the first South African to be sentenced to jail for such a crime.
00:39:00The court rejected Mumberg's claim that she was emotionally stressed at the time.
00:39:05The court looks at the circumstances and the actions of Ms. Mumberg as intentional and racial.
00:39:12She was originally handed a sentence of three years, with one suspended. She appealed the decision,
00:39:18but failed. In December 2019, Mumberg was released from prison and hopefully learned from the experience.
00:39:26Number 39. Pizza the problem
00:39:29It's really bizarre how some Karens are so triggered by hearing languages
00:39:35other than their own. In February 2023, this was certainly the case when Rita Bellew went into
00:39:41Amy's Pizzeria in Hatboro, Pennsylvania. She lost her marbles upon hearing the TV
00:39:48behind-the-counter speak in Spanish.
00:39:50You want to talk in Spanish? You want your TV?
00:39:53So what's wrong with that?
00:39:54What's wrong with that? Because you're not American, dude.
00:39:58Bellew spewed a litany of racial insults toward the employees and owners of the restaurant. She then
00:40:05demanded a refund as she wasn't handing her cash to an illegal immigrant in her view.
00:40:11I don't want your food. Why won't you give me your credit on my credit card? You're calling me racist
00:40:16because I am white. She then claims the people who called her racist were racist themselves.
00:40:23Right. Afterward, Bellew was charged with hate crimes. And to make her more annoyed, hopefully,
00:40:29the pizza shop has reportedly seen an increase in business since her racist rants.
00:40:34There's so much hate in the world going around right now. So you got to support them and try
00:40:39to change the world by showing, like, hate won't win.
00:40:42Number 38. Doorbell Degenerate
00:40:45For over a year, the Suarez family in St. Louis, Missouri, was harassed by Judy Klein. But,
00:40:52seemingly, it wasn't until her ring-recorded exploits went viral that anything was done by the authorities.
00:40:59You're not American! Get off of my property!
00:41:01Suarez says for more than a year, Klein, a complete stranger, terrorized her family at their home.
00:41:09She often turned up at their property and issued racially charged and violent threats, claiming
00:41:14it was her house. But that's not all. At one point, she even broke into the building and threatened one
00:41:21member of the family with a hammer. According to reports, Klein's family had owned the property
00:41:27decades ago, but sold it. For some reason, she decided this meant she could still control what
00:41:33someone else does with their home. In February 2023, Klein was arrested and charged for her barrage of
00:41:40crimes against the Suarez family. More than a year later, Klein now faces three felony charges,
00:41:46burglary, property damage, and unlawful use of a weapon.
00:41:49Number 37. Hot, Beautiful, and Unemployed
00:41:55The unearned confidence of a white Karen is truly a sight to behold. In October 2018,
00:42:02two unidentified black women were in the parking lot of a block of apartments in Charlotte, North Carolina,
00:42:09as they awaited help with a car problem. All of a sudden, a seemingly intoxicated Susan Westwood
00:42:15descends on the duo, proclaiming she is hot and beautiful. She then rants with tones of racism
00:42:27as she questions why the two are there, with plenty of cursing. Even after being asked to leave,
00:42:40Westwood continued harassing them. So, the woman called the cops. Afterward,
00:42:45Westwood lost her job with cable company Spectrum. Then, in 2019, she was sentenced to 12 months of
00:42:52probation for her various charges. Number 36. Snow Day
00:42:58Apparently, like Karen's, Ken's regularly can't cope with putting a piece of cloth over their mouth
00:43:05for a bit of time to protect others. In 2022, at a ski resort in Ontario, Canada,
00:43:17one snowboarder wasn't happy with the business' wear-a-mask rule. The guy kept trying to get on
00:43:23the ski lift, but the security staff repeatedly stopped him. The unfortunate, patient skiers had
00:43:30to watch as Ken's actions slowly ate into their slope time. After the man tries to fight out of
00:43:43security's grasp, the police arrive, and the crowd cheers as this drama finishes.
00:43:48The man was escorted from the resort, but no charges were filed. However, he did get the
00:44:02embarrassment of this video going online. Number 35. Takeout Freakout
00:44:09In the modern world, online reviews are vital. A business can be successful or collapse on that
00:44:15mark out of five. Well, David Demerchant phones the restaurant Frank D's to order takeout. However,
00:44:22he was put on hold. So, Demerchant let the world know about his bad experience. Sadly for him,
00:44:29the owner added some details he conveniently left out. His server actually had a seizure while on
00:44:35the phone with Demerchant. He then arrived at the restaurant to pick up his order, ignoring the
00:44:40ambulance outside. When they offered to make it there, Demerchant refused, went home, and wrote
00:44:47this misleading review. Now, he has to live with the shame of getting publicly called out.
00:44:53Number 34. Miss Kick
00:44:57After having a few drinks, people tend to get an inflated ego. In 2021, at the Linksters Taproom in
00:45:04Florida, one patron thought more highly of his fighting skills than he should have. In the video,
00:45:10we see him yelling at a guy on the street. As the guy approaches, the patron goes to showcase what
00:45:15he's learned from watching three UFC fights with a roundhouse kick. Only, he misses. Big time.
00:45:28He pretty much takes himself out of the battle with some instant karma. Various other barfolk
00:45:33descend on the scene and separate the duo. However, the patron tries to punch the guy to save face.
00:45:39It doesn't work. On a side note, the lights on the tree outside are really mesmerizing.
00:45:45Number 33. IHOP Patience
00:45:49Waitstaff has to deal with a lot of annoying and unnecessary stress from customers.
00:45:54Busy would be ever seen, Taylor. There are three servers on, sir. We can only do so much. If you
00:45:59don't like it, you can go somewhere else. Who else is open? Nobody else.
00:46:02Honestly, they should be paid so much more than what they get. Especially this IHOP employee in 2022.
00:46:09One sneaky customer recorded one man having a meltdown at the restaurant. This Ken decided that
00:46:16slow service was the thing that tipped him over. After arguing with Ken and getting abused,
00:46:21she tells him to leave and walks off. Like a rational person, he picks up his glass
00:46:27and throws it on the floor, causing pieces to fly around and hit other people.
00:46:32Bye, you're out.
00:46:33How about we go?
00:46:35Hey! You gotta put that right in my eye!
00:46:39That's on my drama!
00:46:41Yikes. Quickly, security descends on Ken and forces him out of the restaurant with plenty of shame.
00:46:47Drama at IHOP, bro.
00:46:5332. Collier Caron
00:46:59Educators are often seen as one of the noblest and most trustworthy groups. But then,
00:47:04there's Patricia Schmidt, who smudges that reputation, and then some. In August 2021,
00:47:10she was an exceptional student education specialist at an elementary school in Naples, Florida,
00:47:16According to an unidentified mother, she and her children were walking on the pavement down a
00:47:21road. Schmidt, who was driving, beat her horn before she rolled down her window as she thought
00:47:28the two were trespassing. She embarked into a curse-filled, racist, and ableist rant,
00:47:34screaming multiple slurs at them.
00:47:36Your son, it must be Special Ed.
00:47:38With all the negative publicity, the Collier County School District initially put Schmidt on leave
00:47:43before they fired her for her disgusting behavior.
00:47:47We're also going to be calling for the revocation of her teaching certificate
00:47:51through the Florida Department of Education.
00:47:54Number 31. Sheep in the Bank
00:47:58Once again, we have someone who has a tantrum over being asked to wear a face mask inside a business.
00:48:05In March 2021, in Galveston, Texas, Terry Lynn Wright refused to comply at a bank,
00:48:11so they asked her to leave, which she declined. With no other option, the staff called the cops to
00:48:18have Wright removed. When the police arrived, Wright tried to tell the officer about the law. Yikes.
00:48:25I'm not going to argue with you about this. This is not a public place. This is a private business.
00:48:29No, you're not. We're going to go outside.
00:48:32Are you serious?
00:48:34Do I look like I'm kidding?
00:48:35After getting physical with the cop, Wright was arrested. In the process, she tried claiming it
00:48:40was police brutality, but multiple witnesses hilariously disagreed, prompting her to call them
00:48:47sheep. A week later, to the surprise of no one, Wright had a similar incident at another location.
00:49:06Number 30. Key Fob Kelly
00:49:09Even just trying to get home apparently ruffles the Karen's feathers.
00:49:13In October 2018, Darian Tolles was trying to enter the apartment complex where he lived
00:49:23in St. Louis, Missouri. In his way was a white woman, Hillary Brooke Muller,
00:49:27armed with a tiny dog who had a problem with the black man trying to get to his residence.
00:49:33Acting as though she owns the building, she demanded proof that he lived there,
00:49:37dabbling in some racial profiling. 30 minutes after this incident, a police officer sent by
00:49:51Muller spoke to Tolles in his apartment. When the video went viral, Muller's employers weren't too
00:49:58happy. The real estate company Tribeca STL fired her publicly for her stunt.
00:50:04Her now former employer has issued a statement about her firing using the words racism and racial
00:50:10profiling. Number 29. Radio Karen
00:50:14Oh boy, another incident of a white American snapping when hearing a non-English language spoken.
00:50:21So shouldn't you be speaking English?
00:50:23Uh, well, a lot of men speak English, but I just wanted to speak men.
00:50:27Okay, but it is America.
00:50:28In July 2020, a group of landscapers was working in the street in Nashua, New Hampshire. Suddenly,
00:50:35they were accosted by conservative, Donald Trump-loving radio host Diana Plaus, who recorded the
00:50:41incident. She laid into them for speaking Spanish, then accused some of the workers of being in the
00:50:46states illegally. A passerby stepped in to confront Plaus, but she only made more racial statements
00:50:57and called him a social justice warrior for wearing a face mask. According to George Russell,
00:51:02who owns the radio station WSMN Broadcasting, he received thousands of complaints about Plaus's
00:51:09actions. So he dropped her show from their slate. Number 28. Cocktail Catastrophe
00:51:18Many of us have had the joy-slash-trauma of having too much to drink on a night out. But not many of
00:51:24us will descend into a racist rant. Then again, we're not Justine Morrison. And admittedly, we don't know
00:51:32how much she drank. But reports did say she threw a drink in January 2023. In fact, she was removed
00:51:40from a cocktail bar in Halifax, England after causing a scene. Outside, Morrison decided being
00:51:46ejected wasn't enough. She decided to go on a racist rant at the doorman Dally Wiley, spitting her disgust
00:51:53at him as her tirade was recorded. Not only was she cautioned by the police for her hate crime
00:52:05and got permanently banned from the bar, but Morrison was also fired from her part-time accounting job
00:52:11for the Shine Theatre Arts. Number 27. Horsin' Around
00:52:16In 2013, Christine McGrail and her daughter Olivia decided to wait in the drive-thru at McDonalds
00:52:34in Whitefield, England. Sounds normal so far. Except they were on horses. When they were refused
00:52:41service for safety reasons and told to go inside the building to order, McGrail decided that meant
00:52:48letting Olivia take her pony inside as she waited outside with her own horse. Confused and disgusted
00:52:55customers were soon more grossed out when the horse defecated in the restaurant. McDonalds'
00:53:01drive-thrus are fine for vehicles, but for horses, less so. The same goes for inside the restaurant,
00:53:07partly because something like this can happen. But it's okay. As McGrail later claimed that
00:53:14everyone found it funny. Which is doubtful, but especially not hilarious to the staff who had to
00:53:20clean the mess. McGrail was fined 90 pounds and was banned from the McDonalds' property.
00:53:27There's an old saying about how you can take a horse to water, but it seems you can't take one to a
00:53:31drive-thru. 26. Airplane Assault
00:53:37It's strange the trajectory some minor celebrities can go through in their lives. Take Patricia Cornwall.
00:53:44She was an NFL cheerleader and did a little acting in the past. Then, in December 2021,
00:53:49she was videoed attacking an older man on a plane. Cornwall was apparently enraged that Russell Miller
00:53:57wasn't wearing a face mask as he was eating and drinking. While he didn't help calm down
00:54:04the situation, instead calling her some choice phrases, Cornwall's unhinged reaction was something
00:54:10else. She struck, scratched, and spat on Miller. Thankfully, the flight staff managed to separate the
00:54:24two. However, Cornwall was arrested by the FBI after landing and charged with several crimes for
00:54:30her bizarre behavior. 25. Smoothie tirade
00:54:36I want to speak to the f***ing person who made this drink. Is that you?
00:54:39Hospitality employees have it rough. They're not paid enough and have to serve the public all day.
00:54:46Nightmare. But it got worse for teenage workers at Robeck's in Fairfield, Connecticut in January 2022,
00:54:53when James Ionazzo walked in. Apparently, he had bought his son a smoothie from there,
00:54:58resulting in an allergic reaction which required medical treatment. However, according to the staff,
00:55:04Ionazzo didn't mention the peanut allergy when he ordered. He erupted with a racist tirade
00:55:11at the employees, even throwing the beverage at them. Ionazzo was fired by Merrill Lynch and was
00:55:24arrested. He was given a year of probation and had to donate $500 to a charity. Then,
00:55:30he settled a lawsuit from one of the employees for a reported $7,500.
00:55:3524. SoCal Karen
00:55:40In 2020, Torrance, California and the surrounding area were haunted by a figure that harassed folk
00:55:46with Asian heritage. Lena Hernandez, who used to be a social worker, weirdly, was involved in
00:55:53several incidents where she launched into grim racist rants at people for seemingly little to no
00:55:59reason. At one point, she put on a mock Asian accent to belittle one victim. But in July 2020,
00:56:11she was finally arrested for attacking Caitlin Salmonau at the Del Amo Mall the previous year.
00:56:17In October 2020, Hernandez pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery. As such, she received 45 days
00:56:24in jail, three years of probation with a year of anger management, and was barred from being near
00:56:30Salmonau and the mall. 23. Randy Marsh Cosplay
00:56:48You know it's a big deal when a performer has to stop what they're doing to address some nonsense in the
00:56:54audience. And that's exactly what happened in Georgia in 2022 as the comedian Louis Black was
00:57:13doing his set. Comedians usually deal with hecklers swiftly and harshly. But not in this case. Black
00:57:20bluntly called out the guy who was harassing people in the audience. The crowd then turns their displeasure
00:57:26on Ken and yells for him to leave. Quickly, security arrives to escort him from the venue.
00:57:37At this point, Ken produces his best Randy Marsh impression from South Park by yelling that he thought
00:57:43this was America. It is, which is why a private business can throw him out.
00:57:59Number 22. Party Pooper
00:58:06The Bachelorette Party is a cherished symbol for those taking the plunge into married life. In
00:58:122022, one group of women rented a $4,000 Airbnb to have a big shindig. But one local resident wasn't
00:58:21happy. This Ken trespassed onto the property as the women were enjoying the pool. He reportedly videoed
00:58:32them to make it extra creepy. Yelling that the party is disturbing the neighborhood, apparently,
00:58:38he uses transphobic slurs and threatens violence against the group. The women stood their ground
00:58:44with this nonsense and called the police. Unfortunately for Ken, he was arrested for his
00:58:53nosy behavior. On top of that, he was already on probation for a domestic dispute the week before.
00:59:00Uh oh. Number 21. Baldwin Batty
00:59:05Hey, even famous men can be Ken's. It's not just a title for us normies.
00:59:11Cops were called and Baldwin was arrested. You can see him being taken away right there.
00:59:16In 2018, actor Alec Baldwin had a bit of an… incident. He had apparently gotten into an argument
00:59:24with Wojciech Shevskowski over a parking space in New York City. Instead of dealing with it rationally,
00:59:30Baldwin reportedly shoved Shevskowski hard in the chest and then punched him across the jaw.
00:59:44In 2019, Baldwin sued Shevskowski for the accusations and false imprisonment. He also claimed Shevskowski was
00:59:52exaggerating his injuries. But the actor did admit guilt for a violation of harassment. Baldwin received
00:59:58a conditional discharge and enrollment in an anger management course. In 2022, this drama was
01:00:05eventually concluded when the case was settled. The DA offered the plea deal of second-degree harassment,
01:00:11an anger management class for Baldwin, and a $120 fine. The actor left court without commenting.
01:00:1720. Soho Karen At the end of 2020, a video went viral that showcased
01:00:25the later-named Soho Karen. Taking place at the Arlo Hotel in Soho, Manhattan, New York,
01:00:33Mia Ponsetto couldn't find her phone. Instead of being calm and rational, she decided to accuse a
01:00:39random black person, the 14-year-old Kaon Harold Jr., of stealing it. He didn't have it.
01:00:51With Ponsetto also losing patience with Harold's father, she tackled the young boy to the ground,
01:00:57all of which was caught on camera. In the aftermath, a warrant was issued for her arrest. After a brief car
01:01:04chase, the cops got her. But she made it worse for herself by resisting. She pled guilty to a felony
01:01:10hate crime and received two years of probation. If Ponsetto fails to comply with the terms of the
01:01:17plea deal, she is facing up to four years in prison. 19. Dog Park Karen
01:01:23For some reason, Karen seemed to flock to dog parks. It's bizarre how often this seems to happen.
01:01:30In 2021, author Frederick Joseph and his partner enjoyed a night walk with their pup in Brooklyn,
01:01:36New York. Suddenly, they were harassed by a woman. According to Joseph and a bystander in the video,
01:01:42the woman threatened to get the cops involved and told the couple to stay in their hood.
01:01:50Frederick Joseph was in disbelief,
01:01:53repeating the words he said were directed at him by a person in the park Saturday night.
01:01:57This was all because the dog was barking loudly at night. There's just one problem. She got another
01:02:05apparently loud dog mixed up with Joseph's. After the video spread online, she was ID'd as Emma Sarley.
01:02:13Once her employer, software firm Bevy, heard about the incident and her discriminatory behavior,
01:02:19Sarley was fired. 18.
01:02:27Karen Named Karen
01:02:29Sometimes it's the little things in life. A rainbow, the smell of cut grass, and a Karen actually named
01:02:37Karen. In 2021, Karen Turner attempted to shop in a grocery store in Ohio, but since the pandemic was
01:02:47underway, people were on edge. Well, not Turner, who refused to wear a mask. The store staff told her to
01:02:54leave, but she stubbornly didn't. We're not sure what she was expecting here, but it probably wasn't
01:03:01the police turning up. Body cam footage shows Turner being as uncooperative as possible with the cops.
01:03:08As they attempted to take her handbag from her, she hilariously screams,
01:03:12illegal search, illegal search, illegal search, illegal search, illegal search.
01:03:19Turner was fined $573, plus court costs for her strange protest.
01:03:2517. Cat Meet Karen
01:03:29Here's a woman who ticks loads of boxes on the Karen bingo card. In 2020, TikTok user Iris Kessler
01:03:37posted a weird interaction that occurred outside a Mexican restaurant near her work. A customer known
01:03:44as Arielle accused the place of serving her cat meat instead of chicken. It's a bit weird that she
01:03:55apparently knows what cat meat tastes like. She then threw things at the restaurant's windows and
01:04:01threatened further violence against them. As Iris Kessler and others stood outside to stop her from
01:04:07returning, Arielle spat out various insults and homophobic remarks while they waited for the cops to
01:04:13come. Her nonchalant demeanor soon went out the window as she was bundled into the back of the
01:04:18police car while screaming. 16. Zombie Karen
01:04:31Imagine a plague where zombies are created. That's already grim. Well, now picture a
01:04:38zombie Karen. Sorry for that image. In 2020, an unnamed woman was reportedly told to leave a
01:04:45Louisiana bar and wasn't let back in. It isn't hard to see why. With the door closed, she didn't take the
01:04:53news well. She threw herself against the glass multiple times while yelling. She then began licking
01:05:00the door for some reason. Not getting anywhere with her walking dead shtick, she decided to bust in
01:05:11using her head. She also accused the person filming of being racist. Right. By the end of the video,
01:05:19we see her being taken by police. She probably felt so silly the following day. Hopefully.
01:05:26You hate to see it, boy! Outta here! 15. Plain Karen
01:05:32Babies and planes can be a rough mix, but in 2018, Susan Perez handled things really poorly. Complaining
01:05:41about having to sit next to a young child and insulting the mom, Perez seemingly wanted to be
01:05:47moved, but this wasn't doable. I said, please don't use that language in front of my son.
01:05:51She subsequently demanded the name of the flight attendant, Tabitha. Once she got it,
01:06:00she basically implied that she could get the worker fired.
01:06:09Well, Tabitha wasn't going to let that slide. She called for Perez, now with a surprised Pikachu
01:06:16face, to be removed from the plane. The Karen tried to say she was sorry, but the damage
01:06:22was already done. Her employer, the New York State Council on the Arts, suspended her.
01:06:28Now Perez's name and image have been removed from the council's official website,
01:06:32and she's been placed on a leave of absence. 14. Healthcare Karen
01:06:38It's not every day a Karen tells on themselves. It makes our job a little bit easier, though.
01:06:44In 2021, worldwide events caused Karens in all fields to get… weird. One working at a medical
01:06:52center in Kentucky decided this was going to be the hill she wanted to metaphorically perish on.
01:07:03In a video posted by the TikTok account at journeyintruth, the woman is asked to leave the
01:07:08building. She claims she hasn't resigned or been fired. Well, seemingly one of those isn't correct.
01:07:21In reality, the woman refused to comply with a vaccination mandate, meaning she could no longer
01:07:26work there. The head of security demands her and a fellow like-minded colleague's badge while she
01:07:32flicks her foot about and refuses to comply. 13. Corner store Caroline
01:07:51In 2018, a woman claims to have been assaulted by a young boy in a corner store in Brooklyn, New York.
01:07:58That's shocking and horrific, right? In a video released online, we see the
01:08:10apparent victim, Teresa Klein, calling the cops on the young family as the children cry. However,
01:08:17her version of events were very, very wrong. CCTV showed as the boy walked out of the store,
01:08:25his backpack lightly grazed her. So she put this family through unnecessary stress over nothing.
01:08:37She apologized to the falsely accused black child after the truth came out, but her words were widely
01:08:43seen as insufficient. There were talks of an investigation into her actions, and while she
01:08:55wasn't arrested, she was mocked and called out. 12. Marjorie Taylor Greene fined
01:09:04Even politicians can be Karens. Marjorie Taylor Greene is one of the most controversial figures in the U.S.
01:09:11Do you understand how people feel about being forced to wear masks or being forced to have to take a
01:09:16vaccine or even have to say that whether they've taken it or not? These are just things that shouldn't
01:09:21be happening in America. This is a free country. Greene refused to wear a mask in Congress despite
01:09:27it being required. She ignored this easy-to-follow mandate many times. When a person breaks this House
01:09:34rule, they're fined $500 the first time, then $2,500 for each following incident.
01:09:40Usually, the amount is taken off the representative's salary. In January 2022, Greene claimed she had been
01:09:54fined nearly $90,000 as a result of her ignoring the directive. Using math, that means she'd flouted the
01:10:02decree around 37 times at that point. Yikes. 11. Cat Karen
01:10:10Nobody likes to be told they can't do something. But sometimes, it's best just to listen and take
01:10:16the L. In 2020, a woman arrived at the World Gym in New Taipei, Taiwan. However, she wanted to bring
01:10:24her cat in with her. We can only assume she needed a trusted spotter. After attempting this numerous times
01:10:31in the past and reportedly having her membership taken away, she tried once more. But this time,
01:10:38she used violent threats. Then, still not getting her way, she took all her clothes off, stormed into
01:10:46the gym, and began working out. About 30 minutes later, the police arrived and arrested her after
01:10:53making sure she was dressed. 10. Armed Ken and Karen
01:10:59In 2020, as a group of George Floyd protesters went through a private neighborhood in St. Louis,
01:11:06Missouri, all was fine. Well, it was until Patricia and Mark Thomas McCloskey came out of their house
01:11:13yelling and pointing firearms at the protesters. Due to their bizarre actions, the two were invited to
01:11:28appear at that year's Republican National Convention, where they criticized the Black Lives Matter
01:11:33movement. Consider this. The Marxist liberal activist leading the mob to our neighborhood
01:11:39stood outside our home with a bullhorn screaming, you can't stop the revolution. In 2021, the McCloskeys
01:11:47pled guilty to misdemeanor offenses. This resulted in fines for the pair and the destruction of their
01:11:53notorious weapons. However, the Missouri Governor Mike Parson pardons them. In 2022, the Supreme Court
01:12:08of Missouri indefinitely suspended their law licenses, but then gave them a year's probation instead.
01:12:159. 10 Items or Jail
01:12:20For those of us that aren't keen on people, self-checkouts in grocery shops are wonderful.
01:12:26But sometimes, there are rules on using them. In March 2023, Linda Yuka tried to go through one
01:12:34at an HEB store in Spring, Texas. When she was denied the option because she had more than 10 items,
01:12:40an agitated Yuka left the grocery store. The employees were probably hoping this was the end
01:12:46of it, but no. She then returned with a friend. Yuka reportedly attacked a staff member and pulled
01:12:53her hair before hurrying away from the scene. The cops later tracked her down and charged her with
01:12:59assault. As part of her bond, Yuka is banned from shopping at any HEB stores throughout Harris County.
01:13:078. Starbucks Karen
01:13:10Ah, more anti-mask people. I get shortness of breath, dizziness,
01:13:14and it messes with the heartbeat. And I do have asthma as well.
01:13:18In 2020, Amber Gillis posted an image on Facebook of Starbucks barista Lennon Gutierrez in San Diego,
01:13:26California. Saying quote,
01:13:28Meet Lennon from Starbucks who refused to serve me because I'm not wearing a mask.
01:13:31Next time I will wait for cops and bring a medical exemption.
01:13:34She claimed she was refused service for not wearing a mask, and she wasn't pleased. And it
01:13:41didn't have quite the effect she was going for. Instead, a GoFundMe page was created for Gutierrez
01:13:47to give him tips for standing up to Gillis. He made this GoFundMe so other people could tip the
01:13:55barista, and it blew up. Currently, it has over $105,000. Well, Gillis wasn't happy. In 2021,
01:14:04she decided to sue Matt Cohen, who created the GoFundMe page. She claimed that a screenshot of her
01:14:11original post included in the fundraiser violated her rights. The suit was dismissed by a judge.
01:14:17However, Gillis is appealing the decision.
01:14:20It was discrimination, and everybody is okay with it, and enabling and rewarding that kind of behavior.
01:14:25Number 7. BBQ Becky
01:14:28It's a video that launched a thousand memes. In 2018, a group of people were enjoying the nice weather by
01:14:36having a barbecue at Lake Merritt in Oakland, California. Well, not a Jennifer Schultz watch.
01:14:42It's illegal to have a charcoal grill in the park here. No, it's not actually. I just looked at the
01:14:47map. It says this is a designated barbecue area. She told the group that they couldn't be there
01:14:51for a barbecue, and that she apparently owns the park. She doesn't. She then proceeds to call the
01:14:58police. She even takes and refuses to give back one person's ID. Yeah, she just took a card out of my
01:15:05hand so that she could try and get this guy. You offered it to show it to me. I showed it to you.
01:15:10I didn't say, take it out of my hand. You stole the card. Can you please give it back? Because I would
01:15:13like it. Eventually, the cops arrive with Schultz sobbing over the incident. They assessed her for
01:15:19a psychiatric hold but felt she didn't fit the criteria. After this event, Oakland residents came
01:15:29together at the site to have a large cookout, probably causing Schultz a sleepless night with all
01:15:35those grilled goodies. 6. San Fran Karen
01:15:41In San Francisco in 2020, James Buenillo was stenciling a BLM message on his own wall. But
01:15:49someone asks for his attention. As he turns, he's greeted with one of the most terrifying expressions
01:15:55a person can have in the shape of Lisa Alexander.
01:16:07Buenillo is then told by her that he shouldn't do that on other people's property. He plays along for a
01:16:14bit until Alexander states she knows the wall isn't his and she knows the person whose it is.
01:16:20And you don't know if I live here or if this is my property.
01:16:23We actually do know.
01:16:24Uh oh. Buenillo then goads them into calling the cops, which they do. After the video went viral,
01:16:31Alexander apologized for calling the police. Several companies also cut ties with the skincare firm
01:16:37she's CEO of. In a statement, Birchbox condemned her actions and cut ties with her company.
01:16:445. Extinguisher Scene
01:16:49In January 2023, Jennifer Holder was at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
01:16:56After allegedly dipping on paying the bill at Buffalo Wild Wings, she attempted to enter a secure door.
01:17:04A big no-no, especially in an airport. When she was confronted by staff, Holder grabbed a fire
01:17:10extinguisher and went on a rampage, spraying employees and passengers with the chemicals
01:17:16as she wandered around. Eventually, the police managed to arrest her. But not before they were
01:17:29kicked and spat on by Holder. Several airport staff even required medical attention for breathing in
01:17:36the extinguisher spray. Holder faces several charges, including assault and obstructing law enforcement.
01:17:434. Permit Patty
01:17:45In 2018, in San Francisco, eight-year-old Jordan Rogers was saving up to afford to go to Disneyland.
01:17:53I wanted to help my mom and I wanted to get the money to go to Disneyland.
01:18:00This entrepreneur did this by selling cold bottled water on the street, right outside her house, for $2.
01:18:08Well, because people hate plucky kids, apparently, Allison Edel decided to intervene. In a video,
01:18:15she is shown calling the cops on Rogers for not having a permit.
01:18:20She's calling police on an eight-year-old little girl. You can hide all you want.
01:18:24The whole world gonna see you, boo.
01:18:25Yeah, and, um, illegally selling water without a permit?
01:18:28Yeah.
01:18:29On my property.
01:18:30It's not your property.
01:18:31Edel claims the yelling about the water being for sale for hours on end is what drove her to
01:18:37make the harsh decision. After the video was uploaded, Edel was nicknamed Permit Patty by the
01:18:42wonderful internet. Due to the backlash, she was later forced to resign as CEO of TreatWell Health.
01:18:49Which makes cannabis products for dogs. Dispensaries started dropping her products after the video
01:18:56surfaced on social media.
01:18:573. Non-Flying Senator
01:19:01Sometimes, U.S. Senators like to think of themselves as untouchable.
01:19:06They have violated, uh, the Bill of Rights. They have violated inherent rights.
01:19:12Well, in 2021, Alaska's State Senator Laura Reinbold learns that this isn't always the case.
01:19:20She was videoed at Juneau International Airport, arguing with staff over their mask rules. In a
01:19:25classic Karen move, whenever a member of staff asked her to wear it properly, she wrote down their name
01:19:31for daring to question her authority. Later on, Reinbold called it mask tyranny.
01:19:44With all the online backlash to the video, Alaska Airlines stated they told Reinbold she's no longer
01:19:51allowed to fly with them. Last year, she referred to Alaska Airlines staff as mask bullies after a
01:19:57confrontation with flight attendants. As a result, she's asked to be excused from legislative sessions
01:20:03until next year, since traveling was now a nightmare for her. Whoops!
01:20:092. Mother and Son Karen
01:20:13Sometimes, being a Karen can be a family affair. And that was the case in 2021 in Tennessee.
01:20:21Johnny Martinez, who was doing his job checking vehicle permits in a residential building's car park,
01:20:26was accosted by mother and son, Bitsy and Edward Brennan.
01:20:33They demanded to see his ID and stated he shouldn't be there. Martinez refuses to go
01:20:46along with their antics. Out of nowhere, Edward attacks Martinez since he's recording on his phone.
01:20:53Bitsy then calls the cops. Edward then tries to gaslight the video camera by claiming he never
01:21:05touched Martinez. Right. In the aftermath, Edward was served with an arrest warrant for assault and
01:21:11Bitsy was fired as an investment broker at UBS.

01:21:401. Central Park Karen
01:21:44In 2020, Christian Cooper went to watch birds in New York Central Park. But he spots namesake Amy Cooper
01:21:51with an unleashed dog, which they need to be in that area. So Christian asks her to put a leash on the
01:21:58pup. Instead of realizing her mistake and being sorry, she goes all sith and refuses. Christian
01:22:06records the scary part where she announces that she'll call the cops and recklessly claim,
01:22:11an African-American man is threatening my life. When he was doing no such thing. It's also really
01:22:23distressing seeing her yank her dog's collar all over the place. After the video came out,
01:22:28Franklin Templeton Investments fired Amy. She was also charged with several crimes,
01:22:33but those charges were later dropped.
01:22:36She understood the power she wielded at that moment to call police as a white woman on a black man,
01:22:41as a scary black man. I'm gonna call the police and say an African-American man is. She understood
01:22:46that part of it. She had the wherewithal to understand that. Have you experienced the wrath
01:22:50of a Karen out in public? Let us know in the comments. And um, illegally selling water without a permit.
