10 Times Karens Faced Justice in 2025
Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we’re exploring the most notorious cases of rude, entitled folks, better known as Karens, whose behavior in 2025 resulted in them facing consequences in one form or another.
The Self-Checkout Rampage
Everyone has a tale about using the self-checkout. Yet none can match what shoppers experienced in 2025 at a Morrisons supermarket in Eccles, England, which, thankfully, was captured on camera. For whatever reason, Karen, with a wheelchair, was arguing with a customer with a balloon, who threatened to call the police. Did that calm Karen? Nope. She proceeded to grab grocery items and throw them at the customer. Even with staff and security there, Karen wasn’t done as she kicked the customer and tried to attack another before she was dragged to the floor by security. Reportedly, even when the police arrived, Karen attempted to attack an officer, resulting in her arrest.
Muppet Karen
Disney and children can be a tough mix for an adult to deal with, as their excitement overwhelms them. However, there are far better ways to deal with them than what Kristy Lee Crampton did in 2025. After a trip to Disney World, Crampton and her group were getting on the airplane home. However, the boy with them mocked her size, stated she wouldn’t fit in the seat, and called her “Miss Piggy.” Apparently, the kid was doing this throughout the vacation. After taking the boy’s cellphone away, he then pushed Crampton off the armrest multiple times. So, she snapped and attacked him. Instead of going back to Maryland, Crampton was arrested by the police and charged.
Train Karen
Usually, if you’re accidentally too close to someone on a train, there’s a mumbled apology, and everyone moves on. However, for one man and a Karen in England, their feet being near each other was apparently enough for racism to burst out. Recorded by a man on a train from London to Manchester, the Karen first told him to go back to “Morocco or Tunisia.” Despite him telling her he was born in the country, she responded that it didn’t look like it to her. Yikes. Interestingly, when he Uno-Reversed by asking if she was born in England, she dodged the question. Karen also stated she had no regrets about her racism. That likely changed when she was arrested afterwards.
Phillies Karen
When the Miami Marlins took on the Philadelphia Phillies, Drew Feltwell saw the perfect opportunity to make his son’s birthday even more special by grabbing the home run ball that Harrison Bader had fired into the stands. However, moments later, Phillies Karen created her infamous legacy. She berated Feltwell, seemingly believing the ball was taken from her. Hoping to calm the irate Karen down, the father handed her the souvenir. However, the boy later received a gift bag and a signed ball from Bader. Phillies Karen, on the other hand, became an obsession for the internet as people tried to uncover her identity, resulting in people who weren’t her being harassed. Fans would even cosplay as her at games, adding further embarrassment to her.
Vendor Hater
Eight months pregnant, Mary walked down a street in Simi Valley, California, to sell food items from her cart. After all, kids are expensive. However, she was soon confronted by Julie Christine Sanchez, who lived nearby. She was irate at Mary, claiming she’d told the vendor not to enter the neighborhood before, as Mary brings down the property value. Yikes. As if that wasn’t bad enough, as well as criticizing Mary for not speaking English, Sanchez pushed the cart away, causing the vendor to fall over with injuries. On top of being charged with battery, Mary also filed a civil lawsuit against Sanchez for her attack. A crowdfunder was also started to cover medical costs and lost income, bringing in over $25,000 for Mary.
ICE ICE Fired
Trash-talking between sports fans is normal and, occasionally, can be funny. But what isn’t normal is threatening another with a controversial agency that can cause severe issues. Well, during a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Ricardo Fosado was taunting Brewers fans. This caused Shannon Kobylarczyk to first mock Fosado’s beverage and then threaten to call ICE, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, on him, despite him being a US citizen and Navy veteran. After the video went viral, Kobylarczyk’s employers, the Manpower Group, fired her. Yet the consequences weren’t over for her. Kobylarczyk, who was also on the board of directors for Make-A-Wish Wisconsin, was forced to resign from the position.
The Neighborhood Bigot
Sadly, even though it would be super nice, you can’t pick your neighbors. For a while, this reality haunted Tyson Baker at his residence in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He’d been clashing with his neighbor, Allison Murphy, asking her not to park on his lawn and to clean up her dog’s waste left on his property. This sparked Murphy to descend into a homophobic rant, filled with slurs and derogatory language, which Baker recorded. Even her father attempted to attack Baker. As such, he called the cops on them, who did little but hand out pamphlets about restraining orders. Yet when the video of Murphy’s slurs and threats hit the internet, it reached her employers, Valley Forge Fabrics, who publicly fired her.
Cinnabon Somali Slurs
Typically, Cinnabon is where you go for sweet treats. However, for a Somali couple in Wisconsin, they got something much more bitter. After asking for more sauce on their cinnamon roll, worker Crystal Wilsey erupted in racist rage. On top of mocking the woman’s hijab, Wilsey, who reportedly has an extensive criminal record, uttered slurs, insults, and announced she was racist, all of which were recorded. While Wilsey thought she was untouchable, Cinnabon disagreed, as she was fired from the franchise. Adding further drama, Wilsey’s daughter reportedly criticized her behavior. Crowdfunding pages were quickly published for both sides, with Wilsey’s receiving over $155,000 at the time of writing, and it’s littered with racist comments.
Karen Couple
Health care workers already have to deal with a lot of nonsense at work. Yet, seemingly, they’re not even safe from such things away from their job. While walking through a park in Halifax, England, nurse Apple Moorhouse and a child met the infamous Karen couple. On top of taunting the nurse, who moved to the UK from the Philippines 15 years ago, by implying she came into the country on a boat, the duo used further racially charged language and even threw water over her. After posting the video of the interaction online, Moorhouse mentioned this solidified her decision to leave the UK. After help from the public in tracking the couple, they were charged for their terrible actions.
Park Slurs
For the vast majority of people, if a stranger’s child was taking things from your bag, you’d let their guardian know. However, Shiloh Hendrix decided that uttering racial slurs at them was acceptable. It wasn’t. Taking place in a park in Rochester, Minnesota, Sharmake Omar, who isn’t related to the child, confronted Hendrix about what she said. Rather than have any shame, she affirmed what she said, then called Omar a slur several times. Once the clip went viral, Hendrix published a crowdfunder, which, at the time of writing, had raised over $830,000, and had comments briefly disabled due to racist messages. Yet this didn’t stop her from being charged with several counts of disorderly conduct, with a trial date set for August 2026.
Howie Carr: Karen Read case new trooper curveball
Now a state trooper is involved …
By Howie Carr | howard.carr@medianewsgroup.com | Boston Herald
PUBLISHED: March 15, 2024 at 6:06 AM EDT
My prediction is that MA state trooper Michael Proctor will be filing his retirement papers in… three… two… one.
I don’t care how much time he’s got in on the job. This is the hackerama. There are all kinds of work-arounds. Just ask the Foxboro Flasher – still just 35 years old, and already collecting for four years.
Proctor is, or was, the “lead investigator” in the Karen Read murder case in Canton, which seems to unraveling at the speed of sound, much like Proctor’s reputation, if not his career.
At a pre-trial hearing Tuesday, Read’s defense attorneys put into the record what they said was sealed information from the US Attorney’s office.
With no disputing of the facts from the district attorney, Read’s lawyers recited that the DA’s own trooper Proctor had admitted to a federal grand jury in Boston that he had “misled” other investigators about the extent of his relationship with some of what the prosecutors call witnesses, and what Read’s attorney call suspects in the murder.
Read is charged with killing her boyfriend, BPD Officer John O’Keefe, with her SUV in January 2022.
But her defense attorney also told the judge that as part of their investigation into this rancid case, the feds hired three accident-reconstruction investigators. All of them agreed that O’Keefe could not have been killed by a car, the lawyer said.
Proctor, it turns out, was thisclose to the people who owned the house outside of which O’Keefe was found dead of injuries and hypothermia.
It’s a very involved case, made to order for Netflix or Hulu. For one thing, Karen Read is hot. And Proctor’s pals are not – the McAlberts, as they are called, all look like extras from a remake of “Deliverance,” even the women.
Despite the box-office potential, for two years, state-run media in Boston have been giving this murder case a good leaving-alone.
The biggest problem is who’s been poking holes in the prosecution’s case, an ex-teacher from Holden named Aidan Kearney, who blogs under the name “Turtleboy.”
The Democrat stenographers with press passes hate Turtleboy, because of, well, you know. He’s from around here and he’s white. Which is more than reason enough.
As for the State Police, the brass hate Turtleboy because he took out one of the earlier corrupt MSP dynasties. Do the names Ali Bibaud and Leigha Genduso ring a bell?
Anyway, the case against Read was unraveling before Tuesday. But that day, parts of the sealed feds’ report concerning possible prosecutorial abuse were put into the record. It was put together by the US attorney and the local FBI office.
Think about that fact – how corrupt do cops have to be to get busted by the most corrupt cops of all, the FBI?
The MSP has got to be thinking – Et tu, G-men. Whatever happened to professional courtesy?
And March had started out so well – 12 whole days into the month without a single trooper getting lugged off a cruise ship in Florida in handcuffs, and no Northern Ave perp walks of just-arraigned fat-slob, bloodshot staties in filthy sweatshirts. That was the MSP’s February, but somehow March seemed better, right up until….
On Wednesday, about 24 hours after the feds’ report was read into the record – with no denials from the prosecutors in the courtroom — the MSP brass confirmed that Proctor was indeed the subject of an internal affairs investigation.
Can somebody say “fall guy?”
“That’s my fear,” Turtleboy told me on my show Wednesday night. “Proctor’s bad, but he wasn’t the only one in this. But I’m afraid this could end up like Leigha Genduso – they threw her under the bus. But the rest of the troopers and prosecutors walked away with their big pensions, or didn’t get fired, period.”
Of course an MSP Internal Affairs investigation doesn’t necessarily mean you’re all done. I’ve seen troopers survive, say, pushing their wives’ heads into unflushed toilets, or illegally running more than a dozen license plates in a bitter domestic dispute.
You know why they survived? Because nobody was looking, until the cases were long over.
Proctor’s problem is, too many eyes are on Karen Read now. Even the Globe, after snoozing for more than two years, finally weighed in yesterday with a story that didn’t read like a handout from the press office of Norfolk County District Attorney Michael “Pass the Gravy” Morrissey.
What’s making everyone think that Proctor is the patsy is how quickly the brass moved against him. Usually it takes months, or even years, to get confirmation that any trooper, no matter how bent, is getting even a slap on the wrist.
I remember one case a couple of years ago, a trooper in the gang unit made a big bust, went home and overdosed. We got the story into the paper, but then Framingham dummied up.
The only way we ever found out that druggie trooper was gone was in a footnote to a court filing made in an obscure case two counties away.
But man, the brass couldn’t throw Proctor under the bus any more quickly.
You know, the State Police aren’t like the Texas Rangers – one riot, one Ranger. They move in packs. Proctor made $146,050 last year. He worked with, among others, Sgt. Yuri Bukhenik, who made $211,080, and Det. Lt. Brian Tully, who made $214,640.
Tully, in fact, took part in the arrest of Turtleboy a couple of months ago on trumped-up nonsense charges. Turtleboy did 60 days in the Norfolk County House of Correction.
Proctor was the junior guy on the DA’s team. I wonder if any of his superiors were giving him orders about what to say (or not say) about how tight he was with the McAlberts. And did any of his bosses ever work any of the bad actors that Turtleboy brought down during his earlier MSP probes?
Askin’ for a friend….
I hope I’m wrong, but I doubt anyone other than Proctor goes down in this scandal. That’s the way it works in the MSP. Consider the Foxboro Flasher, Andrew Patterson, who was busted drunkenly flashing young kids and grabbing women’s rear ends at a country-music concert in 2019.
He was with another state trooper who, according to police reports, told the victims not to report the Flasher to stadium security. The other cop flashed his badge and told the civilians that if they did, they’d be in big trouble.
Internal Affairs’ verdict on the Flasher’s pal? “EXONERATED.”
The Flasher’s pal is still on the job. Last year he made $237,360. And the Flasher is out on “disability,” age 35, for $5,557.32 a month, for life. For life!
Some kiss in the mail will be worked out for Proctor, count on it. Surely no one in the district attorney’s office in Quincy is going down. If Joe Early could survive the Ali Bibaud scandal, Pass the Gravy will get a pass on this botched Karen Read frame-up.
Morrissey makes $191,000 a year, but he’s got a lot of expenses, and I don’t just mean running tabs at Alba and Café Pacific. How about that boat of his – is it still called “Class Action?”
As for Proctor, see ya later Trooper, or should I say sooner rather than later. When the story broke Wednesday night, one of my listeners texted me that his sordid tale could make a second Canton-based Netflix true-crime documentary. The listener suggested a title:
“Procter’s Gamble.”
Turns out, it was a bad bet.
