If they could back their story up, they’d be working with a team of lawyers and PR people by now.

These guys are just going to walk away completely untouched. I can get that there might have been a legitimate dispute over the bike, but why post a video? The message to everyone watching is that harassing women and calling them karens is fun and riskfree.

I'd like to see the guys who made and posted the video sued for libel. I'll contribute to the cause when I hear that's the plan.

Btw I'm posting my feelings on this again because Jeff deleted all my previous posts. Not sure why or who keeps reporting my posts.

I wish her nothing but the best with her pregnancy and home she instead winds up with a cash settlement that she can use to take a nice beach vacation and then send her baby to college. I'm so incensed about this.

Monique Judge, the woman who wrote the essay about how this is exactly the same as Emmett Till (cool cool way to use Emmett Till's name just to prove your petty little point), has already said she simply does not believe the nurse's lawyer. I do hope she gets sued.

I hope the PA makes her sell her house to cover the judgment.

Maybe if we have enough mobs, one will finally turn out to be righteous.

Don’t want to get sued? Don’t defame people.

I hope she gets Roxane Gay too.

Gay has had enough sense to stop talking about this case after her initial comments in reaction to the video.

Actually a lot of people who were initially worked up have gone reeeeeeal quiet in the last day or so, as more people have taken a closer look at that video and now the woman's lawyer is speaking up.

It's just a handful of people who are going to stick with their story now. Watch a bunch of news outlets quietly delete or change the wording in their initial reports on this one. Oops, we're bad a journalism, but that's what the edit function is for.

Gay’s initial comment was that this woman was too racist to treat black patients! The harm has been done.

Gay is a piece if trash that manages to insert herself whenever some flames need to be fanned and then retreats without any consequences. Remember "The Bad Art Friend?" Gay was the one tweeting that it's still unclear whether the writer actually donated her kidney. But when the stuff hit the fan and people had to resign or apologize, she suddenly went quiet. Not her first rodeo for inciting the internet mobs. I am shocked that apparently NYTimes has no code of ethics fir their journalists.

I detest Roxane Gay. She’s overrated for ‘Hunger,’ and unfailingly reactionary in these viral stories to always come down hard on white woman, and to do her utter damndest to rile her sycophantic followers to take it further. She’s also unappealingly self-pitying, read the nonsense about ‘The Whale.’ Ugh. Just, ugh.

Gay also viciously attacked a teenager online. She is awful.

I agree with the bolded.

I think since the woman retained what sure seems like competent counsel and has advanced her story with apparent proof that she is telling the truth and was maligned, the women here who called her Karen and the new Carolyn Bryant are very, very angry, and are appealing to mods to ‘balance’ the thread by reporting posts supportive of the woman. Pretty lame, but it’s a day ending in Y so it’s not surprising.

They don't target men because they know there's a chance that a man might respond with violence to this type of confrontation. I likely would have pushed that guy back if he got so close to me. Some guys in New York, of whatever race, would have responded much more violently than just a push.

Remember, these guys are bullies. They like to go after easy targets.

We don't know who posted the video. Might not be the guys in the video.

Why? By suing the influencers who made their video go viral, he's removing their platform. Folks like Monique, if they face consequences now, will in the future think twice about using their platforms without first collecting all the facts. And for the guys in the video, that makes it less fun and pretty pointless to keep Karenning innocent women.

Those influencers are motivated by income. People will take enormous risks to generate income. They will never stop.

But more basically, they are part of the cackling audience. If you're on stage and someone makes a fool of you, you don't yell at the audience who laugh, address the bad actor on the stage.

Target your aggressor, not the women who repeat the rumour.

There is no way this woman and her attorney are lying, whether directly, by omission, or otherwise inadvertently.

Those disappointed over having been wrong about what happens and who continue to troll should be so ashamed.

I still have no idea why anyone cares about this incident?

People are dying of starvation and being slaughtered every day, but two people getting into a pissing contest over who reserved some dumb rental bike is somehow news? I'm not sure why so many people are taking sides when it's impossible to tell from the video who is in the wrong.

Yes, and white men, by the way, love this dynamic. If we focus on the white woman getting upset and crying (and call her tears manipulative and not genuine, which is what a lot of white men have been saying about white women for YEARS), then we don't pay as much attention when the system that benefits white men over POC and white women just keeps on chugging along.

A dynamic that pits white women against POC is ideal... for white men who want to keep benefiting from the patriarchy and white supremacy, unbothered.

I bet you a lot of the people who jumped on the bandwagon against this PA and called her a racist and a white supremacist online and called for her firing, kiss the rings of the white men in actual positions of power over them all the time. But if they stood up to that power, there might be consequences. Easier to strike out at someone as powerless as they are.

Some day white women will realize how much woke POC, especially other women, hate them.

I thought it was originally posted on Reddit? It’s been deleted from there but a lot of the comments remain. https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/13iftxp/nyc_hospital_karen_attempting_to_take_black_mans/

And here’s todays follow up in a new post: https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/13lhddo/bike_karen_was_right_after_all_she_has_shown/

So this is interesting: I went to Crump's Twitter account to see if he'd posted it himself or retweeted someone else, and regardless of which one it was, it's no longer on his account.

The video is still posted under @Imposter_edit's account with no attribution. It has 42.5m views. It now has a note appended to it that says readers have provided the following context: "The woman in this video, through her lawyer, has provided receipts proving that she paid for the bike. None of the men in the video have done the same."

I really admire how the troll on page 95, angered at the complete re-routing of this story, is now gently admonishing all of the silly people (not her, nope) for commenting when people are starving, okay? Let’s focus, okay? By not posting unless you’re her.
