#8 - Kara Bell On April the 7th of 2021,
a Texas school board candidate was kicked out of a Nordstrom Rack in Austin after refusing to
wear a face mask inside the store. It was reported that the unruly woman, later named as Kara Bell,
had been asked multiple times by the store’s employees to put on a face covering in accordance
with Nordstrom’s policies and the mandates in effect at the time. Bell repeatedly ignored the
workers’ requests, reportedly indicating that she was exempted from wearing a face mask because of
a medical condition. The woman allegedly pushed an employee to the side aggressively in order to gain
access to one of the store’s dressing rooms, and the police was subsequently called to the scene.
Bell then began shouting hysterically at members of law enforcement on the sidewalk outside the
store, as was captured by the responding officers’ body cams. The woman alleged that she’d been the
one assaulted by one of the Nordstrom employees and suggested that she’d been targeted because
of her race. Bell continued to argue with the officers and refused to identify herself several
times. At one point, she attempted to walk away, but was informed that she was being detained and
wasn’t allowed to leave the area. Shortly after the woman’s incensed tirade had begun to abate,
the officers placed her in handcuffs. Bell was reportedly issued an assault citation, which is a
Class C misdemeanor punishable by a fine of up to $500. In the aftermath of the incident, the video
of her arrest went viral on social media, leading to Bell being labeled a “Karen on steroids”.

#7 - Laura K. Lewis
Texas woman Laura K. Lewis was taken into custody for harassing a group of teenagers
at a skatepark in Austin, on August the 18th of 2020. As was captured on video by witnesses,
the barefooted woman had initially approached the skaters and berated them for unknown reasons. At
one point, she got close to one of the teens and aggressively shoved him. Another skater responded
by dumping a jug of water on Lewis’ head, causing the situation to escalate considerably. Lewis was
shown attempting to take the water jug away from the teenager before kicking him with her bare feet
repeatedly. A female bystander then stepped in and knocked the woman over a nearby ledge.
Shortly thereafter, police officers arrived at the scene and, having witnessed part of
the altercation themselves, took Lewis into custody. The social media-dubbed Karen claimed
that she’d actually been the one victimized by the teenagers, whom she alleged had stolen her purse.
It was later reported that Lewis had been charged with assault by contact following her arrest.
#6 - Karen Pirkle and Brenda Stewart Two Georgia women were arrested before
a Gwinnett County school board meeting that took place on November the 18th of 2021. The detainees
were later identified as Snellville resident Karen Pirkle and Brenda Stewart, of Suwannee.
The Gwinnett Daily Post reported that Pirkle had been prohibited from entering Gwinnett County
Public School property following a confrontation over face masks at a previous board meeting in
October. The aptly-named Karen attempted to attend the meeting on November the 18th in defiance of
the police order issued against her, and was consequently charged with criminal trespass.
Stewart was reportedly stopped by officers at the school after she’d set off a metal detector during
a security screening. Her bag was subsequently searched, at which point a pair of scissors was
discovered inside. Upon being told she wasn’t allowed to bring the scissors into the meeting,
Stewart attempted to snatch them out of the officer’s grasp and a brief struggle
ensued. She was later taken into custody and charged with obstruction of a police officer.
#5 - Lori Desjardins
A member of the United States Navy was assaulted by a middle-aged woman at a pizza shop in Berlin,
Connecticut, on September the 11th of 2021. According to a police report,
the incident occurred shortly before 10 pm when Lori Desjardins, aged 45, accused a man in
military fatigues of stolen valor. She reportedly asserted that the man’s military ID was fake,
then proceeded to take out her own dependent military ID and insisted that it was what a valid,
officially-issued identification card should look like. During the course of her outburst,
the brunt of which was caught on video and widely shared on social media later on, Desjardins called
the man “disgusting”. As she grew progressively angrier, she grabbed the hat off his head and
tossed it to the ground. In one final attempt to get the serviceman to leave the establishment,
Desjardins rushed towards him and slapped him in the left side of his face. A few days later, the
woman reportedly turned herself into the police, whereupon she was charged with third-degree
assault and second-degree breach of peace. The man whom Desjardins had accused of wearing a fake Navy
uniform was later identified as Sean Nolte Jr., a volunteer firefighter who was also serving as a
submarine electronics fire control technician for the US Navy in Groton at the time of the incident.
#4 - Rossie Dennis On November the 24th of 2021,
Texas resident Rossie Dennis brandished a firearm during an argument in the parking lot of an
H-E-B supermarket in Corpus Christi. According to local police, the 60-year-old woman had confronted
another female shopper over a parking space to which she’d felt entitled. During the course
of the heated interaction, which was captured on the victim’s cell phone, Dennis was shown shouting
into the driver’s side window of the woman’s vehicle, in the presence of her 6-month-old child.
In an effort to intimidate the other shopper into relinquishing the space, Dennis ultimately
resorted to pulling out a handgun and threatening to shoot her. When Corpus Christi police officers
arrived a short time later, the armed woman had already left, but eyewitnesses confirmed that
she’d pointed a weapon in the victim’s direction. Investigators used the driver’s recording of the
incident to positively identify Dennis as the perpetrator. She was reportedly taken into custody
four days later and booked into the City Detention Center on a charge of aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon. Her bond was set at $60,000. #3 - Kerry Nash
An Australian woman was nicknamed “Bunnings Karen” by Internet users after she’d filmed herself
admonishing staff members at a Bunnings Warehouse store in the Melbourne suburb of Narre Warren,
in July of 2020. As shown in the video, 42-year-old Kerry Nash accused the store’s
employees of violating her human rights after they’d politely requested that she put on a
face mask. When Nash eventually left the store, she was met by members of local law enforcement,
who’d been notified of the situation. She resisted the officer’s attempts to place her in handcuffs,
and was later released from custody after claiming that she had a medical exemption
that precluded her from wearing a face covering. Nash later posted the video recording of her
berating the Bunnings staff to social media, which led to her facing widespread criticism for her
disorderly behavior. The woman, a former iSelect sales consultant,
announced her intention of suing the police for how they’d treated her although,
as of the latest updates on the matter, it wasn’t clear whether such legal action was ever taken.
#2 - Patricia Cornwall In December of 2021,
a woman on board a Delta Airlines flight from Tampa Bay to Atlanta was recorded attacking a
fellow passenger for not wearing a face mask. The viral video showed 51-year-old Patricia Cornwall
standing in the aisle of the plane and unloading an expletive-laden tirade at
a seated male passenger. As many who viewed the video in the aftermath were quick to point out,
Cornwall’s outburst was rather ironic given that her own mask was pulled down under her nose and
mouth. As her verbal abuse continued, the woman also reportedly struck the other passenger in the
head and spat on him, prompting crew members to restrain and escort her to the other end of the
cabin. The flight landed at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport at 6:10 pm. The
police were notified of the midair disturbance Cornwall had caused, and they subsequently
detained the woman at the airport. She was then relocated to the domestic Atlanta Police precinct
where she was taken into the custody of FBI agents. In the wake of the incident it emerged
that Cornwall, a former NFL cheerleader, had had other recent run-ins with the law. About a month
prior to the episode on the Delta flight, she’d reportedly crashed her car into a tree in Santa
Rosa Beach, Florida, while she was intoxicated. Cornwall was consequently charged with a DUI, and
she ultimately faced federal assault charges as well, in connection to the incident on the plane.
#1 - Jillian Wuestenberg On July the 1st of 2020,
Takelia Hill and her daughter, Makayla Green, were involved in an alarming altercation with a woman
outside a Chipotle in Orion Township, Michigan. As 15-year-old Green would later tell The Detroit
News, she was walking into the restaurant at about 6 pm when the woman, identified as
Jillian Wuestenberg, bumped into her, seemingly on purpose. Green reacted to Wuestenberg’s
carelessness by saying, “Excuse you”, and asking for an apology, to which the middle-aged woman
took particular exception. She began berating the teen for purportedly invading her personal space.
Hill came over to defend her daughter, and the shouting match then escalated in intensity.
Wuestenberg’s husband began yelling at the mother and daughter as well, and Hill reportedly accused
the couple of being racist. The Wuestenbergs eventually returned to their vehicle and tensions
began to die down. However, they almost ran over Hill while backing out of their parking space,
prompting her to slap the car’s rear to get them to stop. It was at that point that Wuestenberg
jumped out of the vehicle and brandished a firearm, pointing it directly at Hill and Green
while ordering them to keep their distance. She then got back in the car and the couple left the
scene. The Oakland County Sheriff’s office quickly tracked down the Wuestenbergs and took them into
custody on charges of felonious assault. The initial interaction between Green and Wuestenberg
wasn’t recorded. The ensuing altercation, including the moment the gun was pulled,
was caught on video. The footage promptly went viral in the incident’s aftermath, with
many viewers commenting that Wuestenberg was a quintessential example of the “Karen” stereotype.
Thanks for watching! Would you rather sit next to a Karen on every flight you take or
