Why would anyone believe anything she has to say at this point? |

Her attorney posted this on LinkedIn earlier today:
This week, the media attempted to destroy our client’s life. We represent a client who has been featured throughout the media this week as being a racist for having “stolen” a Citibike from "young black men" in New York City. What you did not read is that the media, prior to printing the story, did not contact my client. They did not report that she’s six months pregnant. They didn’t report that she arrived to the vacant Citibike first, mounted the bike, paid for the bike, moved the bike from the docking station and then had at least one individual physically push her bike back into the docking station so she couldn’t take the bike (we sent the Post the rental receipt showing our client rented and returned the bike within one minute -- all before the video was taken). Thereafter, the individuals heckled her and pressured her to find another bike. They did this to a woman who is 6 months pregnant. Aren’t we supposed to be courteous to pregnant women? Shouldn't we go out of our way to help them? With only an incomplete video, the media improperly portrayed this as a racially-motivated incident. Our client has treated thousands of patients in New York City. She worked through the pandemic. She’s, quite literally, a hero. Despite this, with one incomplete video, she’s branded a racist and public enemy number one. She has been threatened, and she’s been put on leave from work. While the media can do great things, they can also do terrible things. The media has a responsibility to report fairly, and they failed miserably just so they could get more “clicks.” See the link below for the letter to the NY Post detailing the facts. https://lnkd.in/egZAceFj CNN; FoxNews US; ABC News; CBS #StevensonMarino; #Defamation; #Litigation; #WeRightWrongs; #EmploymentLaw https://lnkd.in/egZAceFj https://lnkd.in/eceAMJ2Z |

Wow to the LinkedIn information.
There were likely many, many distinct commenters here ripping her apart in the first few dozen pages of this thread, and I doubt many care about how deeply wrong they were. Because they were too ankle-rolling eager to bust into a thread and scream KarenKarenKaren into the wilds of the internet and get quoted and plus-one approval. Pathetic. Pathetic people. |
I, for one, would like to see them treat the actual wrongdoers in this situation the way they treated the PA. You know, let’s make them Internet famous, let’s find their employers and urge they be fired, complain endlessly on the internet about how awful they and everyone like them is, let’s encourage people to dox and harass them. Your actions revealed the way you think an aggressor in this situation should be treated. Act consistently with that. Or at least acknowledge that you, my friend, are one of the baddies, condemning an innocent white woman so that you could preen in your self-righteousness. Or at least refrain from commenting on a situation you clearly knew nothing about. |
They may care when she sues them. |
They will ignore this just like they ignore everything else that doesnt fit the narrative. Like the wisconsin parade murders |
| Poor woman. So much stress while carrying a baby. I hope Roxane Gay is punished along with the men who harassed the pregnant nurse. |
Even if it’s satire here this is what the post-receipts TikTok and twitter comments say. SMH |
I think the boys were bad in $hitty teenager way. The real problem is the adult professionals who got on board so quickly. |
I would be horrified if my teenager harassed a pregnant woman. I think their behaviors crossed the line of bad teenage behaviors. |
Oh me too but it’s not remotely as bad the grown ups with huge Twitter audiences who are old enough to know better. |
| I actually do believe the "personal truth" thing is happening here. There's this strain in current thinking that holds that people can view events through ideological lenses and that these perspectives are automatically as true. It is a logic gap so wide you could drive a bus through it. But I hear this from DEI professionals all the time. |
| Hope her baby turns out ok, this is a lot of stress while pregnant! |

Mob-ragey PP can cite her "lived experience" with "Karens" and that makes her "lens" automatically valid and her perception her "personal truth," whether or not there is any basis for her mere perspective in objective fact.
And I hear all the time on DCUM that when we can't know something for certain, any interpretation must be as true as any other, whatever actually happened. Aside from the scapegoating, there's a mind games angle too. What is real? Nothing! Believe whatever you want and whoever can recruit a bigger mob gets to determine what happened. |
