Miya Ponsetto, aka Soho Karen, sat down with her attorney for an interview with Gayle King. The Root covered the first part of the interview Friday, so no doubt youβve already heard Ponsetto characterize herself as βyoungβ and βsweetβ without a hint of self-awareness or indication that she realizes the child she tackled is even younger and most likely sweeter. (I consider my use of the words βmost likelyβ to be among the most generous gestures Iβll likely grant anyone in 2021.)
In fact, now that the second part of the interview has aired, it appears that the most Kareny Karen who ever Karened in the Becky-fied lands of Karentopia still believes 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. may have stolen her phone.

βYou seem to have attacked this teenager about the phone, and then it turned out he didnβt even have your phone,β King said as Ponsetto tried to interrupt like the absolute sweety she is.
King attempted to continue telling Ponsetto that her 22-year-old-ass βshould have known better,β when Ponsetto pulled a move that would have had my mother busting her head to the βbut...but...but Iβm Puerto Ricanβ white meat.
βEnough,β Ponsetto declared with the kind of hand gesture Black moms give you when theyβre trying really hard not to slap you. βThe hotel did end up having my phone. I did end up getting my belongings returned to me. So maybe it wasnβt him, but at the same time: How is it that as soon as I get asked to leave the premisesβafter I had accused this person of stealing my phoneβhow is it that they just miraculously have my phone when I come back?β
Niggaaaaaa, WHAT???
How convinced do you have to be that you are the axis on which the world revolves, that you think an Uber driver returning your raggedy-ass phone after you left it in their car is some great conspiracy against you?
She also claimed that she βwasnβt racial profiling whatsoever,β and that she couldnβt possibly racist because βIβm Puerto Rican, Iβm like a woman of color. Iβm Italian, Greek Puerto Rican...β (I guess weβre all supposed to ignore that she listed her white ethnicities first, but whatever.) When King asked her if she thinks that her (allegedly) being a person of color means she canβt be racist, Ponsetto responded, βExactly.β
Listen: I donβt care what race or ethnicity Becky-with-the-unbridled-caucasity identifies as; her nonsense is white, her privilege is white and her sense of entitlement is whiter than the whitest white whoever whited in the history of white-tropolis. Sheβs white, as far as Iβm concerned.
The fuckery didnβt end with her trying her damndest to paint herself as an innocent victim. She also appears to assume the perceived calmness of her actual victims indicates that they were unbothered by her actions.
βAnd it didnβt seem as if my accusations really bothered the son and the father because they were just enjoying a nice meal after the encounter,β she said.
THIS WHITE WOMAN THINKS BLACK PEOPLE EATING FOOD MEANS WE ARE UNAFFECTED BY RACISM!
For the record, Kenyon Harrold has said that the altercation traumatized his son and that he and his ex-wife are now seeking therapy for him.
Anyway, Iβll let yβall watch the interview for yourselves. This woman is a level of exhausting that my Black ass just ainβt got any more energy for.
