Before accusing a teenager of stealing her iPhone, Miya Ponsetto had two alcohol-related arrests earlier in 2020
The plot thickens for the woman dubbed the “Soho Karen.”

The woman, identified as Miya Ponsetto, who allegedly attacked and accused 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. of stealing her iPhone just over a week ago at a New York City hotel apparently has a history of unlawful behavior.

As previously reported by theGrio, Ponsetto made headlines after Grammy-winning trumpet player Keyon Harrold posted an Instagram video of her hastily accusing his teenage son of taking her cellphone while in the lobby of the Arlo SoHo Hotel in Manhattan where the Harrold’s were staying.

The video shows Ponsetto lunging at the younger Harrold, demanding he prove that the phone he was holding was not her phone. The elder Harrold defended his son from the woman, all while capturing the incident on his phone.

The woman was mistaken in her accusations and the cell phone was later returned by an Uber driver. She had left her phone in his car.

This story is a double-whammy for me. I hate what this woman did to this father and son. There is no excuse for her behavior and should never be condoned for any reason.
The other component of this story that bothers me is the use of the term "Karen". It's offensive on several levels. It also minimizes the gravity of the actions of the woman toward the father and son.  It's just not funny under any circumstances. Ok..off my soapbox but would love to know if anyone else feels the same or not.....
