A so-called “Karen” was filmed confronting a woman and wiping her cell phone after allegedly telling the woman to return to her country.
In the first TikTok video, the creator filmed the white woman trying to take the phone away from her recording the woman. They argued and Karen can be seen running away from the camera. It is unconfirmed what sparked the argument, but the text in the video says: “Rabid Karen verbally molested my mother and me in our hotel and called us Asian pigs who should return to our country.” continued, “Then she attacked me twice when she tried to take my phone.”
During the incident, Karen was holding a glass of red wine and trying to excuse her behavior by saying that she was a mother of Asian children. “My damn children are Asians,” Karen can be heard in the video. More text appeared in the video saying, “She believes Asian children are giving her a free pass to molest and physically assault strangers and then play victims.” The Creator wrote that “No one helped” her or her mother in the incident.
The video has had over 177,000 views since it was released yesterday.
A man believed to be a hotel worker is seen interfering and asking the women what is going on. She calmly told the man that she “just read and these guys are bothering me”.
The details of the incident remain unclear. However, the popular TikTok account @ auntkaren0 increased the video to their more than 1 million followers. She summarized the video for her followers and played excerpts from the video.
“Just because you adopt or have Asian children doesn’t mean you are incapable of being racist,” @ auntkaren0 said in her video, then asked anyone with more information to leave a comment.
The Daily Dot has requested a comment from the creator.
