‘Karen’ Lawyer Tries To Push Her Way Off Plane First, Other Passengers Object

In a TikTok video posted on Tuesday, an argument erupted among airplane passengers when a woman attempted to skip ahead in the exit line.

The woman, who is a lawyer, first said “shut your mouth” to a passenger after he complained that she hadn’t waited her turn. 

“You’re all whining for no reason. Just get up when you want to — just deal with it, people, my God,” she drawled, rolling her eyes as other passengers jumped in to condemn her. 

“You’re just a Karen and that’s just the way it is,” said one man before beginning to chant: “Karen! Karen!” 

“You guys are so funny!” the woman mocked. “You’re the Karens about it because you’re the ones — you’re the ones who are making noise.”

Eventually, a baby began crying in the background as the argument grew more heated.

“Why don’t you all shut up? It’s not affecting any of you!” the woman retorted over disgruntled voices. 

She soon noticed the camera recording her, then sarcastically asked the person behind it if he had her permission to record, falling into a common stereotype of so-called “Karen” behavior. 

“It’s public,” one man answered calmly.

“Shut the f**k up!” the woman exclaimed. 

After the passengers protested her use of the “f-bomb,” she pointed to a man behind her and said, “given your accent I can tell you’ve said the f-bomb.” 

A woman in a pink jacket then stepped in.

“We’re not doing that,” she declared. “You can be a jerk … you’re not going to insult someone because of an accent.”

A boy beside her grinned as though he were witnessing something exotic and accused the attorney of being a “racist.”

“Do you even know what the word racist means?” she asked. “You’re white. Maybe it’s xenophobic if you’re talking about accents.” 

The baby in the background continued to cry, and the video ended when the woman told another passenger she would meet him with her bar card after they got off the plane.

The now-viral TikTok had racked up nearly 15,000 likes by Wednesday.
