Yeah, I know, another Karen acted out.
But what happened to bring it on?

The enormity of actually being white and about to suffer the consequences for her actions. It was a pretty heavy blow.

I think they're mentally ill. Poor things. Bless their hearts.

(The husband in this video is being deliberately provocative, however. It's clear that he wants "content" to use against her as part of being able to get a divorce.)

What a nervous breakdown. It's like the woman was transformed into a toddler!

Sad to see it, whether it's a lunatic in a store or within a family.

I'm hoping we're just seeing all this because everyone has cameras and social media now. Seriously, who acts like this?

But apparently not.

I blame their parents. (And "youth soccer".)

a white woman crying in a situation like this can mean danger for Black people. White women's tears are a weapon against Black people, and have been for decades.

Witnessed it happen years ago in bars, when I visited such places. If some drunk woman suddenly behaved crazy around some guy, there was bound to be other guys interjecting themselves in the situation against the confused man.
