Karen holder koken.

En av de mest sette virale snuttene denne uken er filmet på Short Hills Mall i New Jersey av Ijeoma Ukenta, som har politianmeldt en kvinne som forsøkte å angripe henne på Victoria’s Secret.

I en seksjon i butikken med salgsvarer oppstod det en krangel mellom Ijeoma og kvinne som ifølge den offentlige politirapporten er 19 år gamle Abigail Elphick.

Sistnevnte skal ifølge Daily Mail angivelig ha knuffet Ijeoma med albuen før Ijeoma begynte å filme.

Mens hun filmer, forsøker Abigail å angripe og slå henne.

Deretter begynner Abigail å gråte og sette seg på huk, for så å anklage Ijeoma for å true henne.

– Herregud, sier Ijeoma, mens hun filmer hysteriske Abigail.

– Så dere dette? Herregud, jeg trodde aldri noe slik kom til å skje med meg, sier nigeriansk-amerikanske Ijeoma.

– Jeg prøvde ikke å slå deg. Jeg vil ikke bli filmet. Stopp, stopp, sier Ijeoma.

Men Abigail velger å ikke forlate butikken.

En hvit kunde foreslår at Ijeoma, som ble angrepet, forlater Victoria’s Secret, noe hun ikke ønsker.

Hun ber dem kontakte vaktene.

Kort tid etter skjønner muligens Abigail Elphick hva hun har gjort, og får da et slags anfall.

Hun faller i alle fall sakte, men dramatisk, og ender opp liggende på gulvet.

Med vesken sin som pute.

Noen minutter senere reiser hun seg opp og fortsetter handelen.

– Ha det, Karen, sier Ijeoma.

Vakten og politimannen som etterhvert kommer fremstår passive.

Twitter koker av reaksjoner.

Innleggene er naturligvis preget av mye humor, men også alvor.

Mange minner om hvor ofte dette skjer uten at det filmes. Og hvor ofte det har skjedd opp gjennom historien.

Noen forsøker å argumentere for at det er angriperen Abigail Elphick som det er synd på.

Men en psykolog skriver at panikkanfallet hennes fremstår lite troverdig.

White women are dangerous somebody come look at this😭🤣🤣#AbigalElphick #karen #victoriassecretkaren pic.twitter.com/yTipDh4kpQ

This #Karen managed to unlock a new level of drama.

A black woman was harassed, followed, and attacked, while shopping at #VictoriaSecret.

Please do not call the police on BPOC for false allegations. These situations could turn into a matter of life and death. pic.twitter.com/RPc383fNcI

I love how #abigailelphick justified her fake tantrum by claiming she was panicking due to being filmed. This wasn't a mental breakdown this was a calculated "play crazy" before the cops come. Enough with the dramatics. #Karen #KarensGoneWild pic.twitter.com/Hyv3U4qp7T

PSA: The same people claiming the #Karen at @VictoriasSecret in NJ was suffering from mental illness would never entertain that same thought if that was a black woman.

In regards to #AbigailElphick: She won’t know another moment of peace, now that Black Twitter has her name. Jobs, school, her future…ruined. Don’t pity her. It’s self-inflicted. That rapid “evil, white woman” aging process is already on her at 19. #weaponizedwhitetears #Karen pic.twitter.com/jmK4PMCU2I

Since we can’t pass a bill to stop modern day lynchings, can we at least classify White Fragility as a felony?Because for centuries the tears of white women have stained the very fabric that belongs to the dignity and souls of Black women. #BlackTwitter #WhiteRage #Karen 👸🏽✊🏾🖤 https://t.co/nKs9ltqSYQ

This is an element of the latest #Karen video that people must understand. The Karen tried to assault a Black woman & then pretended to be a victim, because she was fully aware that the white police would show up AND GET ON CODE WITH HER.

The 4 stages of white women Karens like Abigail Elphick in Victoria's Secret.

1. I'm the real victim here.
2. Tears.
3. Epic meltdown
4. I'm not getting attention and sympathy I deserve.#AbigailElphick #Karen pic.twitter.com/WFd5of3RNz

I’m a psychologist. This isn’t a mental health issue unless you want to call it a personality disorder.

Panic attack my ass! Pure drama

I’d have said something and sure as hell wouldn’t have been “tell me how this makes you feel”

Ijeoma Ukenta har foreløpig ikke sagt noe negativt om hvordan Victoria’s Secret håndterte saken.

Undertøysgiganten, som selv har en problematisk historie, ser alvorlig på hendelsen.

«Videoen som er filmet i butikken vår er foruroligende, og vi har startet en full etterforskning», skriver VS.

«Våre medarbeidere følger våre protokoller og ringte umiddelbart vårt nødoperasjonssenter samt kjøpesenterets sikkerhet for støtte under krangel mellom våre kunder.»

«Vi er dedikert til å fortsette denne kritiske samtalen og demonstrere vår forpliktelse til mangfold, rettferdighet og inkludering gjennom våre handlinger og våre ord.»

Associate and Customer safety is our top priority, and we are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment for all. pic.twitter.com/vREtLvC2o0
