A video of a woman harassing a Black Atlanta-based influencer at a gym is going viral after accusing her of not living at the apartment complex the facility is in.
The video of Amber Tyson, also known as Coco, was originally posted on TikTok. It shows her and a white woman arguing inside the gym.
According to the video, the argument may have begun over a piece of exercise equipment.
“This is a private gym, only for people in this complex,” the woman told Tyson. “Just lose your attitude.”
“Oh, I have an attitude? I think you’re being passive-aggressive,” Tyson replied.
“Do you pay $2080?”
“I do.”
The woman continues to inch closer to Tyson during the argument until Tyson tells her she’s scared.
“You’re really scaring me,” Tyson said. “I’m working out just like you. Is it because I’m Black?”
“Just give me the mat,” the woman replied.
The woman’s real identity has not been shared.
Commenters on social media were quick to call Karen out.
“I’m sick of white people, and I’m white, it’s exhausting, the entitlement of some of these people!!” wrote @GeMStOnE2300 on X.
“She thinks the Black lady is gonna put the cardio machine in her pocket and run off with it,” @olschoo66563 added.
“Only thing worse than a Karen, is a foreign Karen,” @nikkibluvs said, referring to the woman’s accent.
“Oh no, honey. She leaning in at you. That aggression doesn’t look passive, and she’s yelling too! Call the police. I would be terrified,” @MindinMyBis added.
The Atlanta Black Star reached out to Tyson for a comment, but has not heard back.
